Philippe Tromeur is hard at work on a French language version of ZeFRS. This version will include Hyborian material distilled from REH's public domain works that doesn't overlap with what Conan Properties still has a claim on, plus an adventure scenario.

The work in progress is available here: docs.google.com/open?id=0B8B6JH_5YJHDNTNwc1ZOUHJTTGM

I'll try to be careful...

But I think it will be OK as long as we stick to REH texts published in Weird Tales, and avoid using the words "Conan" and "Hyboria(n)".

Planned contents, so far (A5 format, 256 pages) :
- Complete ZeFRS : 115 pages
- REH's "Hyborian Age" : 20 pages
- REH's "The Tower of the Elephant" : 25 pages
- Advice & Adventure & Index & stuff : 96 pages

Maybe I'll put another REH story in the book ?

I'm working on it again !

I'll try to finish the book in 2015...

I've run the game at a convention (on my birthday !). Players were extremely happy.

For this occasion, I've bought a print copy of the book from Lulu. It's looking good so far...

Wow! That does look great! Nice work, and love the art choices! Any chance of an English version?

[philippetromeur]

I have to finish the French version first

I'm a bit late... and adding more stuff (finally it will probable be a 320-page book)
I'm planning a release at the end of 2016...

I've added one houserule in the French version of ZeFRS :
- To earn a +1 bonus from a Talent, you have to spend at least 5 points on it
- To earn a +2 bonus, you must spend at least 10 points
(for example: bonuses from Personal Magnetism, Minstrel, Telepathy...)

I'm adding a FAQ and some advice about character balance.

I've not included the 2 alternate damage rules, alternate resolutions (wide columns, inverted table, not using the chart).
