I’ll be running an open table Basic Fantasy game at the public library in Bromont, Quebec on Sunday, November 25th, from 10a-2p. If you live in the Eastern Townships this will be much closer for you than Montreal, which is the usual go-to area around here for gaming but is an hour or more away. Here is the address: 37 chemin de Gaspé, Bromont, Québec. If you’re in the area that day and up for a fun one-shot game, stop by. I’ll have pregens available.
Why BFRPG? For two reasons – one, it’s free in PDF and low-cost in print and two, a nearly exact French translation of the rules is available. That will be more accessible as a starting point for a newcomer whose first language is French, even if they are able to participate in an English-language game session. The only other clone or original game that meets these two criteria that I know of is OSRIC, and I wanted something a bit simpler (while excellent, the French translation of S&W White Box is more of an adaptation than a direct translation). So Basic Fantasy it is!

Hey Doug,
Sorry to comment on an old post, but wanted to see if you could point me to the French translation of OSRIC? Sounds truly interesting, and I thought I remember hearing of it… :) Thank you!
Be well,
