French RQG

[Kloster]

I finally got my hands on the new french RQG, just 1 hour before the 'stay at home' order. It seems I will have more than enough time to study it.

I'd love to see pictures of the new art included. 😀

I've just browsed quickly, and haven't seen any. I am now at work and can't answer more properly.

I have not seen any aside from the few small pictures in the scenario at the back. Having said that, I have only given a cursory look at the PDF.

[Lordabdul]

Yep, AFAICT it's the same layout and art as the English version, except for an original scenario in the back of the book, which features a few new original pieces. They're done in a similar style as the rest of the slipcase set, so for instance the scenario's NPCs are B&W paintings that are like those in the GM Adventures book.

[Kloster]

Yep, same art. I haven't noticed any difference., except for the scenario.

By the way, over on the (unofficial) Chaosium Discord server, some people were asking about the occupation changes in the French RQG. I figure it's probably OK to share them here, especially since many people think that the Hunter and Fisher occupation are wrong in the English version (lacking important skills and being too weak overall).

Here are those occupations in the French RQG... they get a lot more points. I'll let people brush up their French and translate on their own   (although they can cheat and use Google Translate!)

Hunter

Arme à distance culturelle (type au choix) +30 %, Camouflage +25 %, Connaissance (locale) +10 %, Connaissance des animaux +30 %, Déplacement silencieux +25 %, Dissimulation +10 %, Écoute +15 %, Invention 10%, Observation +15 %, Pistage +30 %.

Fisher

Javelot ou Arc court ou Filet (au choix) +20 %, Artisanat (au choix) +15 %, Bouclier (type au choix) +10 %, Canotage +30 %, Connaissance des animaux +20 %, Connaissance des rivières +30 %, Lance courte +10 %, Marchandage +15 %, Nage +40 %, Observation +10 %, Premiers soins 10 %.

 

I think that @PhilHibbs's Google Docs character sheets has those stats when you switch it to "French", too.

Thanks for this!

So, if I'm not wrong, both occupations have received 60 points more, bringing the Fisher's 150 skill points to 210, and the Hunters 140 to 200.

But what about the poor Healers? Do they still get only 140?

Healer

Alchimie +10 %, Connaissance des plantes +30 %, Éloquence +10 %, Empathie (humain) +20 %, Invention +10 %, Observation +10 %, Premiers soins +40 %, Recherche +10 %, Traitement des maladies +30 %, Traitement du poison +30 %.

Same thing! 60 extra points.

These three professions now make a lot more sense. Hopefully it will also be updated in the next printing in English.

Marchandage +15

don't understand why bargain is good for fisher and not for hunter, farmer, or anyone else.

 

But that is good to see more points for the poorest professions

It's from the French RQG so probably someone tried to do a little nod to Asterix

ah oui.. je comprends mieux... 😛

I've just found another difference: P82 (both version), on family heirloom, French release adds an optional rule that allows poor occupations (= not Assistant Shaman, Merchant, Noble, Priest and Warrior) can have a second roll on the Family heirloom table, the Roll twice result being ignored.

Though the translation is pretty obvious even with my schoolboy French, to save even that minimal effort, here it is in English.

I'm about to set up a campaign in Balazar, so there's chances someone will have a hunter parent.

The skills in bold are those used for income calculation (unchanged from core rules).

If anyone is concerned if they are "Official", I notice that these changes haven't made the Q&A corrections (at least that I can see).

Hunter

Cultural Missile Weapon (pick type) +30%, Hide +25%, Lore (local) +10%, Animal Lore +30%, Move Quietly +25%, Conceal +10%, Listen +15%, Devise 10%, Scan +15%, Track +30%.

Fisher

Javelin, Self Bow, or Thrown Net (pick one) +20%, Craft (pick one) +15%, Shield (pick one type) +10%, Boat +30%, Animal Lore +20%, River Lore +30 %, Short Spear +10%, Bargain +15%, Swim +40%, Scan +10%, First Aid 10%.

Healer

Alchemy +10%, Plant Lore +30%, Orate +10%, Insight (Human) +20%, Devise +10%, Scan +10%, First Aid +40%, Research +10%, Treat Disease + 30%, Treat Poison +30%.

Yes, but the occupation skill changes are switched on the Rules tab, and you can do that without changing language. Two different things.

I need to get the French PDF... maybe, just maybe, they streamlined that blessed attack-parry matrix.
