Seanchai

...again from america. I don't live in america. I thought i had mentioned this.

Are there any fan translated pdfs of the french source books that didn't make it to being translated to english? I'd really like to find a version of the bestiary and the art of conjuration.

If that is impossible,  I dont suppose someone could assist in helping me find a way to translate these (what I assume are fan made, as I can't speak french to read the website, though I wish I did at this point) pdf dovuments: http://www.souffre-jour.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=109&Itemid=140

The first, second, and fifth ones would be super useful.

Wow, epic thread necro. This thread brought back a lot of memories, haven't seen half these posters around in a long time.


Why was Ghost Whistler banned?

TRPS is poorer for the lack of Seanchai, Ben and Pseudo. I'd take AM and Walkep back in a second as well.  Some left by choice, others were banned.
We should have a banning amnesty every now and again.

I think GW was banned for an accumulation of things, but I can't remember.

So, I'm curious, as of last major discussion on this thread, it seemed few if anyone had played Agone.

I however, prior to my last post, had run a campaign that lasted nearly a year, and shortly after my last post I started a weekly campaign which is still in progress to this day (abd 8ve translated large portions of the French books into English fir my players, including 9 complete translations, with a 10th on it's way).

Has anyone else done anything with this game since? I often feel like I'm the only English speaker running this game... There is a French site fir the game, but not living around French speakers means my franchise isn't really good enough to hold meaningful conversations, especially about something as complex as an RPG...

Something I will say after having run it as long as I have, I know one complaint was how, on paper, the game has major balance issues. When you actually play the game though (and assuming you arbitrate what choices are acceptable to combine given the structure of the party. Obviously a giant doesn't fit if the party has any other combat character, unless the giant isn't a combat character for some reason, abd usually you don't want someone to be dual obedience Ascendancy if there is already another ascendancy mage, just to state a few examples) the game mechanics usually work out just fine. After all, the upward limit to combat prowess is incapacitating an enemy in a single blow, and there are a lot of ways of doing that in this game, regardless of your character's concept.

I find the strength of the game to be in its use as a sort of Fantasy Mystery solving game, where players only seriously fight enemies that pose a significant danger, like Masquards, other inspired, or powerful Demons. And even then, only after having tracked them down, piecing through complex puzzles, mind games, and lots of diversions orchestrated by this enemy to confound the PC's. After all, the Masque's first love is Drama...

Its an odd setting to be sure. I have seen the French version but never seen the english version.

the nice thing about it is that the English version is just a translation. the only difference is they added the errata into the core book, as well as the material that came with the french version of the map pack.

They are literally the same. It just seems like there has been little interest in playing the English version...

Like I mentioned, I've been GMing a campaign for almost a year now (and GMed another long running campaign a while ago), but other than that, I've not found much evidence of it's having been played in English, which saddens me...

It was linked earlier in this thread, but there is a website that sells the remaining stock of the English content. none of the books are above $10 USD (my theory is that the game just never sold because of poor timing of the release, mixed with a compete lack of advertisement).

It was Troll & Toad, and that link no longer works. It looks like they don't have any of the bundles at the moment, but they're still selling the individual products. Just plug Agone into the search bar.

Before this thread sinks too far down again:

I've gotten permission from Souffre-Jour to translate and share their free content, in English, on my Google+ community.

I'm currently working on SJ1, which was a supplemental Bestiary.
( I know some people were put off by the Bestiary not having been released, but this should alleviate some of those misgivings)

It's going to take me a little while to get that done, but in the mean time, I'm uploading cleaned up versions of my translations of some of the smaller supplements from their website.

Does anyone have any updates on this? Are these translations still available somewhere, since Google+ is no longer up and supported. Any news of Agone would be arppreciated as well. I know it is no longer made, but have they buried the idea of new edition or translating more books into english. Unfortunately I don't read french so all those nice looking sites won't be much of a help for me.

Glad to get an email reminder of this thread. There was part of a book I was asked to scan for someone so he could translate(it was a product he didn't personally have), and I totally forgot about it until now. I still don't have a scanner, but it's only a few pages so I can probably type it up if the dude's still interested. I'll go through my PMs and see if I can get in contact with him soon. It's not much, but it'll be one step further towards making Agone accessible to the English-speaking world.

Hi there,

We've started to play Agone once again. Am I missing the part where they explain what is the penalty for being prone, defending from prone and attacking from prone, or is it not just in the English language books (I own them all). I would be very much also interested of any news, updates, translations (unofficials), extra materials in english etc. If someone is interested to share here links or send me a private message, that would be very much appreciated. I have also dilemma how can you change spells from one dancer to another (rules)? Also do you use your PC's dodge if Dancer is targeted or does dancers have different dodge and melee attributes calculated somehow. What about dancer hitpoints. It is mentioned that they are very resilient, but that is not covered
too widely in those books I have read once again. We made some house rules, since the game doesn't seem to cover all the angles, but then again, I think that is the point, right? I've played lots of RPG's during the years like Earth Dawn (5 years), In Nomine (couple of years), Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, D&D, AD&D, Pathfinder (both editions), Vampire the Masquerade, Warhammer (Two last editions for many years), Witchcraft, Armageddon and so on. So maybe I am too attached to rules. Hope to get some replies.
