I voted for all of them.

PS: I confirm that the rules of the game are even worse arranged than in my memory. What a mess to find.

 

Have you tried to play with FFG's Revised Rules?  I think they're pretty good.  

Also, I don't know how comfortable you are with English, but if you are then check out Universal Head's Rules Summaries here:

https://www.orderofgamers.com/games/tannhauser/

The Revised Rulebook from FFG is big and poorly laid out, even though the rules themselves are pretty straightforward.  I've found Universal Head's summaries to be invaluable as he condenses them into just a few pages and organizes them really well.  Also, note, he does have a summary for the original rules, as well, which may be helpful to you.

Tannhauser is awesome.  Easily one of my favorite games.  It has a flavor similar to Hellboy mixing the occult and WW2 type aesthetics.  

It has a mechanic similar to Mythic Battles: Pantheon in that when characters are wounded their ability stats go down.

It's very fun and fast paced.  It reminds me of Conan in some ways.  The original game came out around 2007, but FFG completely revised the rules in 2010.  The revised rules are much better, IMO.  There are five distinct game modes, too, which keeps things interesting.  

The problem is, I think FFG bought the rights around 2010, so they own it now.  They haven't been doing anything with it, though, so it'd be cool if they sold it to someone who would.

Nice!  Thanks, guys!  Merci!

I have a question about the tower map. Some areas have two line-of-sight dots. Do these count as one area that happen to have multiple line-of-sight points or are these actually separate areas and there just isn't a dividing line for some reason?

Thanks!

That was fast! Thank you very much! Thank you very much! This is great!

Crom approves!              

Just wanted to say that my friends and I had a lot of fun with this scenario.  The crowd mechanic with the web tokens was brilliant.  The OL had my Conan occupied for a while.  The heroes almost won, but lost due to running out of time.  I made the mistake of separating everyone and the OL did a good job keeping me the Camel away from me.  We were all over the map.  If we had only had one more round, I think we could have done it!  Very tense and fun!  It has a good sense of humor, too!  Thanks for putting this together!

@Crom or other owner of EN box: could you please help with following equipment/spells ?
Main de la mort: Death's hand ?
Ralentissement: Impeding ?
Inversion: Inversion ?
Retour des braves: Braves' Return ?
Thanks

@Ellou Sorry, I just saw this!  I've been away from the forum for a week or so.

Main de la mort: Hand of Death
Ralentissement: Deceleration
Inversion: Inversion 
Retour des braves:  Return of the Brave

I hope that helps!

Demon of the Earth (Démon de la Terre )!  As it says on the KS page: "The earth demon can be summoned by both hero and overlord sorcerers to give them a huge punch in combat!"

Ah!  Bon Anniversaire, SentMa!

@Crom or @ any member owning an English-language box. 

I have almost finished to translate @Doucefeuille scenario but I would need the official translation as displayed in the English version of the game for:

Weaponry: Javelin, Parry Dagger, Shield[orange dice], Pirat Saber, Leather armor, Zingarean plastron (?), Shield (buckler? with 1 yellow dice)

And for spells:  Retour des braves/Return of the Braves (?), Possession de Set/Set's Posses, Larmes de Dagon's dropping (?), Blocage magique/Magical Block (?), Teleportation, Inversion

I also would need to special rules (to keep the same phrasing) for
- entrance into the picts' huts
- climbing rules for the pict village
- wooden hut's wall (those which can be destroyed by "Wall wrecker")

Many thanks!

 

@Bêêêêêlit, sorry, I just got around to this.

You got most of them! 

For weaponry, it's: Javelin, Parrying Dagger, Shield, Pirate Saber, Zingaran Breastplate, and Buckler.

Spells:  Return of the Brave, Set's Possession, Tears of Dagon, Magic Block, Teleportation, and Inversion.

For the Special Rules:

Hut Flaps: A character must spend 1 extra movement point to move across a border into or out of a hut.  Moving across an opening token does not cost the extra movement point.

Climbing: A character with Climb can move across boulders (boulder token icon) as though they were a border by spending 2 extra movement points.

It doesn't actually talk about Wall Wrecker in the scenario.  That's only on the skill sheet, which says:

Wall Wrecker: This character can spend 2 movement points to move across a wall or wooden door from 1 area to an adjacent area and place an opening token on that obstacle.  Treat an opening token as a border that does not block line of sight.

Note that on the English Skill Sheet, it does not specify wooden walls, so you may want to change it to "move across a wooden wall or wooden door" for clarity, as this led to some confusion early on with English speaking players.

@Crom (or if anyone else has the EN-FR correspondence between equipment).

Could you please tell me the accurate EN naming of the following spells and equipment (used by the scenario from Popoff):

Spells:
- Controle mental (mind control ?)
- Nuage mortel (Lethal cloud ?)
- Drain d'énergie (Energy drain?)
- Réveil de Yagur (Yagur's wake ?)
 

@Ellou, all correct except for the last one!

Spells:

- Mind Control

- Lethal Cloud

- Energy Drain

- Yajur's Awakening (There's a "j" on the English card, so it's Yajur, instead of Yagur)

Great! Thank you every body. We're near to have a translation team!

@Crom I am sure you can help. If we send you translations made by a french native, you can help arrange them. You can also tell us wich ressources are needed to be translate. Scenarios? tools? Wich page on this web site is the most relevant to be translate upon you? And as you are on BGG you can be a part of our bridge between french and US community


- And @Cromare you ready to proof-read our translations if needed?

It's just a proposition for coordination, if you cannot or prefer doing something else it's up to you!

 

 

Yes, I am ready to do any proof-reading that is needed.  

I also started to translate the spell card template.

Hi!  I just saw this post.  I would definitely like to help however I can, but I'm not sure what I can do.  I can't speak French very well.  However, I do have a friend who is proficient in French (he lived and studied music in Paris for several years).  I've asked him and he said he would be willing to help translate scenarios and stuff.  I'm not sure how long it would take him, though.  If I were to give him a few to work on, which scenarios would you recommend as being the best to get started on?

That's great we can vote on the scenarios!  The axes are nice!    Is there a way to see how many people voted?  That way we could know how weighted the scores are.

I absolutely love SAGA! I think it's probably the best book on the market right now. A lot of stuff coming out from Image Comics has been pretty good lately. Descender, Monstress, Manifest Destiny, etc ...

I actually just got this nice hardcover of Edena by Moebius published by Dark Horse Comics. Finally, after decades, they are starting to reprint some of Moebius' stuff in English. As I mentioned in another thread, I have had to order the last several books (Inside Moebius and Arzak, L'Arpenteur) in French. I guess American publishers thought Moebius was not popular in the USA, for some reason. Hopefully, that's starting to change. In my opinion, Moebius is one of the finest artists of the 20th Century.

I'm also a big fan of Mike Mignola. Not only Hellboy, but going back to when he did Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (Lankhmar) series of comics. If you like sword and sorcery and you have not read Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar series, you should definitely check it out. Speaking of that, creating Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser Hero Sheets for the Conan game would be great! I'm not sure what figures would be good to proxy, but there may be something in the Zombic Black Plague figures that could work.

Bonjour!  Hello!  I know Crom needs no introduction, but I just wanted to say hi and thanks for creating this forum!  This is a great resource!  I only know a couple dozen words in French, but thanks to Google Translate being integrated with Google Chrome, I'm able to read through the forum well enough.

I actually tried to teach myself French about a year ago using the DuoLingo app, so that I could read my French Moebius comics, but stopped for some reason, even though I was starting to be able to read bits and pieces well enough.  Perhaps this site will encourage me to pick it back up. 

Conan has easily become my favorite game of the year, and I hope to see it and the community around it continue to grow for many years.  So, thanks again for putting this together and thanks to all those creating new scenarios and tools to create new scenarios.  It's really exciting to see it blossom.

I hope everyone has a great holiday season and a very happy New Year full of lots of gaming!

Crom approves!

Here's stupid question ... what's the toolbar on the left?

And also, it would be possible to have gems in the icons to put on the map, because it could serve

The toolbar on the left is to insert icons (such as dice symbols) into your text.  

I'm using Google Translate to read the site. I hope you do not mind my posting in English. 

Crom approves...  Even though Crom needs Google Translate.  That's very cool of Mr. Henry!
