Translation Notes
Initial Intent
My aim is first and foremost to translate all random events in a way that the original authors’ intent
in game procedure is safeguarded. To that end, I have kept all original punctuation, unless used as
the introduction to an event, and kept all capital letters given to common nouns.
Regime names have been harmonized with Mark Bygney’s ( Gyges ) choices for his English Rules.
The only exception is my use of “dread” ( deep fear ) instead of his “wrath” ( deep anger )
for the Epouvante regime. In french there is a strict gradation of peur ( fear ) turning into
terreur ( terror ), then into épouvante ( dread ).
Errata
All game conditions needed by an event to happen have been moved from the end or body of the
respective events to their start, following this writing : ( *game condition ).
