Hello ! I'm translating the game into the French language.

The translation will be very faithful to the original, except I'll probably add a glossary, a few NPC's (for example half a dozen vampires and other supernaturals in a sample small town), and some advice (damage & fear caused by sunlight and fire).

I just have a small rule question: to rank a beginning character's 4 attributes, you either roll d6 for each, or share 11 points. 11 points is really below the average 4d6 roll (which is 14). Is it a choice?

Thank you for your interest! When I wrote this it was a deliberate choice. You can have full control and be weaker or roll randomly and have a chance to be stronger but with the risk or being weaker. It is meant to encourage random rolls.

Makes sense ! Here's a first draft of my transation, by the way : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DrcfZYDFIZ91E7gfey0hXG7Fjo1tkCy-/view?usp=shari...

(very rough, awkward DeepL-isms, etc.)

WIP updated : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DrcfZYDFIZ91E7gfey0hXG7Fjo1tkCy-/view

Things I've added :

sample NPC's
campaign set-up synopsis
glossary
houserules :
- fire & sunlight (direct exposition : damage, indirect exposition : resolve roll not to panic)
- supernatural energy (Mage's inspiration, Spectre's spite, werewolf's wrath...) = works like "blood" (healing & fuel for Gifts) = highest number between Monster and Generation Effec
I may also add some other play aids (a chart of lineages & gifts, a sample coterie...)
