Hi guys,
Maybe some of the more French-speaking people here may be interested : I had the pleasure to translate in French Blades in the Dark’s System Reference Document and I’m going to offer it at the end of the month to my patreons.
For 5$ or 4€, you’ll have the complete SRD (around a hundred pages) in .pdf and .epub format.
There will be a POD on Lulu later on if you prefer a paperback issue.
You can support this translation…
… either on Patreon (if you want to pay in $): https://www.patreon.com/Khelren
… or on a European Patreon-like platform called Tipeee (if you want to pay in €): https://www.tipeee.com/khelren
Thanks to Sean Nittner and John Harper for having publicly released the SRD and designed such a great game! 🙂

Hi Tiburce, thanks for your involvement! Will the translation includes the playbook and aids or will it be restricted to the SRD?
I would have loved to but unfortunately, no, sorry…
The playbooks and the handouts are expressively excluded from the SRD, even if you can find almost everything inside the SRD, albeit fragmented.
OK, still useful for hack designers!
Great to see things getting translated in French 🙂 I’m curious Tiburce Guyard, how did you get in touch with them to work on the translation ? Did you work on it by yourself ? I have a lot of questions haha, is there any way we could discuss that somewhere else ?
Thomas Burlett Sorry, I was too busy to properly answer your question.
So, yeah, I’ve firstly contacted Blades in the Dark’s French publisher (because I’ve done a lot of work for them) out of sheer politeness to inform them in advance that I was going to translate the SRD.
As for Sean and John, I’ve contacted them a little bit before the release (because I had a few questions, the SRD having IMHO some issues: mentioning things that aren’t in the SRD, for example) but mostly because they say on the website “hey we’d love to hear from you if you use the SRD”. Again, it seems fair to inform them, I think 🙂
