Bonjour.
Je voudrais savoir si la traduction FR est disponible ? Et si j'achète le supplément maintenant et que la traduction sort plus tard, y aurais-je accès sans payer en + ?

Coucou!
Pas encore malheureusement, je suis en enfeeeeer :'( et je n'ai même pas eu le temps de commencer pour être honnête! Mais c'est dans les cartons, promis.
Pour la seconde question, la VF sera mise à disposition gratuitement aux clients ayant acheté le produit: en gros une fois la VF faite, je la rajouterai à ce produit, sans remplacer la VE (du coup anciens et nouveaux clients pourront DL les deux versions).
La description et fiche produit seront alors dans les deux langues avec deux fichiers du style "guide to playable characters.pdf" et "guide des personnages jouables.pdf".

I know many french players which would enjoy to read such a book around the background and how to think outside the box.
Maybe we will see this masterpiece updated right after the v5 hits the streets (and with a roll full of successes, we could even expect it in french ;-).

Keep the good work comin' tho !

Bon bon d'accord, je vais traduire la bête XD

I can't update it to V5 because V5 probably won't be available for Vault creations, at least for a little while, but considering I'm treating of general concepts and not poking at the mechanics or the specific lore, it might be useful anyway :)

An excellent guide for those who want insight on how to build interesting, multi-faceted characters that are open to development and completely viable to be used in an RPG.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
