"You can't go back, but it's OK, isn't it?"
(I kinda like this better as "No turning back now, OK?".)

"Thanks for coming~"
(Obviously the literal phrase is the common shortening for "thank you for your continued patronage" but I like the short version better.)

Touhou Bullet Hell Game - flowers -

Welcome to the world of Touhou Bullet Hell Game - flowers -. What you are holding now is a one-way ticket to Gensokyo, a world separated by a single barrier from the one you are from. Due to the Youkai Expansion Project of over 500 years ago, youkai continue to be captured with no end in sight, making reality a world of humans, and Gensokyo a world of youkai - it is this world that you are heading into. Perhaps out of a reckless desire for adventure, ambition bordering on thoughtlessness, or a gift of love that burns like lava: whatever your reason for coming to Gensokyo, I have but one wish. I pray that this book serves you well on your journey...

What is This?

About Touhou:
Touhou is a series of original 'bullet hell' shooting games created by the (1-man) circle called Team Shanghai Alice. Many people have become fascinated by the beauty of its bullet curtains, the addictiveness of its soundtrack, and the presentation of its world, and the number of fans continues to increase. If you have not tried Touhou yet, we certainly recommend you to give it a shot! But be careful, for some people have already become prisoners of these games. If you are not immune to bullet curtains, their tremendous beauty might be intoxicating for you. Like alcoholic drinks, you should enjoy Touhou carefully and at your own pace. Let us continue~

About TRPGs:
TRPGs, which stand for Tabletop Role-Playing Games, are games where people gather around a table, talk freely and have fun. Parts of them are like Monopoly or the Game of Life, but basically the objective in RPGs is solving mysteries and completing quests. In other words, in this game you become an inhabitant of Gensokyo, having fun and firing bullet curtains and winning or losing. Because Touhou Bullet Hell Game uses dice to generate random results and has human input in the form of the Game Master and the players, it has, unlike computer games, a flexible gameplay.
If you are a beginner, you should try making a character first. Think of an inhabitant of Gensokyo (the character) that you want to play as. Then, get several friends to make characters as well. Choose one among you to be the Game Master and play through a scenario - surely, you will get a glimpse of Gensokyo there. There is also a link between the official HP of characters and the detailed version used in the RPG. Make sure to review that as well.

Objective of the game:
The objective of this game is to become an denizen of Gensokyo, the terribly mysterious world - developed in the Touhou series of games by Team Shanghai Alice - that has been separated from present-day Japan through a mystical barrier, and run around trying to solve situations (and having fun in the process.) This will involve negotiating with canon Touhou characters, participating in bullet curtain battles (which will involve using your own Spell Cards!) and having a great time with friends in the world of Touhou.

(Missed the last line? Something like "Would you also like to journey to Gensokyo?")

"A Girl is being Born..."
(Perhaps better as "Girls are being born..." to fit with the in-game loading messages?)

And... finally done. There's miscellaneous supplemental material, like a sample scenario, but the general consensus is that the people who are interested in it just want the book itself translated.

>>29201
Translator dude here, followed your link from 4chan.

As I said there, I really don't have much time these days, but I'll try to have something done by this weekend. I've got part of the 4komas after the index translated, but it's rough.

Main problem is, I don't really know much about Touhou, so if any other person here wants to help and knows Japanese, by all means do so.

As a RPG geek, I find that very interesting.
Unfortunately I don't think I have the time to work on all that text right now, but I can help with any doubt that shows up.

Note to guys from /tg/: This site takes time to work, so don't expect immediate results. Please have patience. Love /jp/.
(Polite sage for no content)

Oh I figured that much, looking back over previous pages. But a translation that's assembled slowly is better than no translation at all, which is why I'm gonna coordinate between here and the 1d4chan page where work is also going on.

As for me, I'm gonna take a whack at Character Creation (12-13) and then probably the subsequent Main Styles section (pages 14-29), since it's relatively text-light. But, Character Creation first. I'm sure that's the part that relevant parties are most frothing-at-the-mouth for.

FUCK YES I found this and wasn't sure how old it was and am SO happy to find out that it's new and being worked on! If only I had waited a month I could have used this instead of making up my own ruleset.

Can anyone tell me what those two circled kanji are? From page 13, right column, 7th box (second to last). The scan's too blurry and I'm too rusty to figure it out.

>>29404
I think "igen" "威厳", since the other sets were stuff like innocent, ⑨, servant, etc

威厳 is fine; better than I could get out of it. If it's not perfect, oh well, it's not like the name of a sample skill set is all that important a thing to have perfect anyway. Finished 12-13, it's kinda half-assed (and may be entirely wrong in some places) because I'm not great at this. I poked at it a bit to make some of it into more coherent English here and there, without losing the meaning of things. Updated the 1d4chan page with translations of 12-13, duplicating here. I don't even want to know how this is going to paste...

Page 12: Character Creation

Gensokyo residents are now being born. Only one flower. This one thing cannot be changed. What flower will your character be?

* Explanation 

These rules are for entering into your character sheet. There are two methods for creating a character. Quick Start is for those not familiar with TRPGs, while those who are familiar can use Customization. Players should create their characters according to the GM’s instructions. Furthermore, all characters are given 10 Experience Points by default. These are used to select Ordinary Skills.

*
      o Quick Start 

By using the values from the Sample Character Chart, a character can be created quickly. Of course you will still need to create the character’s personal data. The drawback to this is that there are a set number of sample patterns. To create exactly what you want you will need to use Construction.

*
      o Construction 

Everything here is your decision. This takes more time and effort, but the fun you’ll have is worth it. You should do this if you’re used to the system.

* Quick Start 

The following is an outline. Data is shown later. Sheets used:
→Character Sheet
→Record Sheet
→Spell Card Sheet

*
      o Entry procedure 

①From the Sample Character Chart, select a Style Set, writing down the numbers on your sheet. There is a Style Set for each of the eight Main Styles. Refer to the Main Style list and select one to suit your tastes.
②From the Sample Character Chart, select a Skill Set, writing down the numbers on your sheet. There are a total of eight different Skill Sets, select one to suit your preferences.
③Add a Weapon from the Weapon Chart to your sheet.
④Add Equipment from the Equipment Chart to your sheet.
⑤Fill out the Name sections on the character sheet.
⑥Create Spell Cards (check the Spell Card rules for some examples)

* Sample Character Chart

Things I hate:
-The first two sentences of page 12. If someone else wants to take a look and see if they can make any more sense of it, feel free. It's like some drunkard wrote it. Oh wait...
-Idiomatic skill names. God damn it, Japan. "Girl's Heart & Autumn Sky" is not a valid skill name you bastards. I almost wanted to call that one "Romantic" and be done with it, but I tried to be as faithful to the material as I could with those, because I haven't gotten to the skill descriptions yet, so I don't know exactly what the intent of some of these are. Anyone can feel free to pick the translations apart though; it's a community project, after all.

Well, at least 14-29 will be easier. The doujin artist splash image pages can actually be ignored almost completely, since everything in Japanese on them is written in English immediately next to or beneath, except the flower names (which are mostly scientific names in English, but the kanji are the simpler names).

>>29417

> "Girl's Heart & Autumn Sky" is not a valid skill name you bastards.

If "Froggy braves the elements" is a valid spell-card name, then "Girl's Heart & Autumn Sky" certainly is.

>>29417
>>29429

I think the expression goes such that a young girl's heart and the autumn sky are equally fickle.

>>29500

女心と秋の空
As fickle as a young girl's heart or an autumn sky.

Where is that from anyway?

But Minoriko had something like 秋の空と乙女の心
The autumn sky and a maiden's heart ?

>>29528
Could just be one of those old sayings. From the utterly demented metaphor it presents, odds are it was a poem.

>>29530
Yes it's an old saying, and one of Minoriko's spellcards was named after it.

It was from Japanese idiom.
Originally, it was opposite, "男心と秋の空" which means men's heart and autumn sky.

In Edo era in Japan, no women could cheat on her husband. The term was used to describe how men were firtatious by refering how the weather in fall quickly changes.
But from Meiji era, women could love equally as men, and the term "女心と秋の空" (girl's heart and the autumn sky) came up.
As the time goes by, the image of women cheating on her husband became stronger, and the term "men's heart and autumn sky" fell out of use.

Did this die suddenly?

I'm still around, just haven't had a chance to get anything done on it lately; I'm in the middle of a move and such other real-life nonsense. Plans are still to hit 14-29 in rapid succession next, since they're relatively text-light, but will give something of an idea of the "character classes" and thus the core of the game. Just gotta find a decent stretch of spare time.

Anyone else who wants to chip in on this is of course welcome to do so. I'd love to see a few more people pick up on the translation here to speed things up a bit, but I still plan to translate it all myself if nobody else works on it. It'll just take a bit longer than it would otherwise.

Mutterings
Since long ago, a light has been missing from my heart. I don’t care what people have to say. Ever higher, wherever I see this kind of thing. A little bit nearer than before, that one light. Since long ago, my heart has been looking for that light. Surely, that is my dream.

Today's dose of hate:
That entire last section on page 15. Ugh. It was just... written oddly. I don't even know if I got it quite right, but it'll do for now. Oh well.

Yes, pages 14/16/18/20/22/24/26/28 really do say almost exactly the same things in the on-page Japanese and English text, so the translations are almost pointless. The only difference is the page titles, which use more normal kanji names, while the names below in English are frequently the scientific names (not always -- "Rote Rosa" is just silly, and what they're probably referring to is rosa rugosa, the Japanese Rose).

Any other translators want to lend a hand, here's another call for 'em. I figure if I keep periodically bumping this with work, it might attract someone -- and if it doesn't, well, it's still work being done, so it'll be finished eventually.

>>29735
I would if I could. Sorry. Waiting patiently.

I'm utterly dismayed that this seems to be getting shunned...

Please continue on Touhou Gamer, If I knew anything about japanese besides some basic kata/hira I'd be the first one to help. People do appreciate what you're doing.

Eagerly awaiting a translation for the meat of the system.

>>30172
No intent of stopping; more than anything else, I want this translated so I can play. Always good to have a translator with personal investment in it. NOT so good to have a translator with a tendency to get bushwhacked by real life, and it's been working overtime on that lately. But I'm working on the system-related pages in order ("character classes"/styles, skills, basic rules, and then spellcard creation, I believe), and I'm gonna keep working until they're done, even if that's sometime next year.

I've got some more blurry-scan issues on page 17 if anyone wants to take a look and identify those two kanji for me. I've got 'em circled (well, boxed) in red. I'm so glad that weird handwriting font is only used on these pages; after I'm done with the Main Styles, all the rest of the book is written in a nice, crisp, readable font.

I'd like to guess a 奥 and a 香.

Eh, I tried. I'm not the greatest at Japanese, but most of it should be OK... Point out any mistakes I made, though. I wasn't able to translate the bottom part, and the Katakana next to "speed." It says "Emono," but I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. Lastly, I changed 'Bullet' into 'Danmaku...' Just seems more appropriate.

It's Page 60, the page with the character sheet on it. Not sure how much good it'll do since it's just the page and not text like the other translations have been so far.

>>30391
Ability should be right, I think

ah i just found it being used,
>>29184
"Make use of rabbits", "Bullet", "Singing", "Su-san", so ability must be right

>>30399

That's for Emono, right? Thanks, I was completely stumped... Usually Katakana is used for English words, so that's what had me so confused.

I would very much like to see this translated. At least to figuring out what the system is supposed to look like, so I can get some idea of whether or not it'd be fun to play. And if it's any good at all, I'd run a game.

I would even pay ⑨ dollars to this end.

>>30400
エモノ in this case is basically "Weapon". It's a short statement (one word, usually) of what the character fights with. It's mostly just flavor; there's no particular rules associated with different weapons (which is good given the wide variety of things Touhou characters fight with).

Translation status update: Temporarily on hold. I want to play this as much as everyone else, but I've gotta get my living arrangements sorted out before September, which means most of my days are spent job-hunting and looking at apartments. I'll probably poke at it here and there when I have a spare moment, and check here every few days to lend a hand if there's a hand to be lent, but I won't be able to fairly call my efforts a "translation project" until I have enough time to really devote several hours to it every day. My apologies to the community, to Voile, and to /tg/, but I'll definitely be back. Until then, best of luck to anyone else who chips in on this.

Founds this from Bit Torrent. So...Interesting.

>>30437
oh shoot, i got tricked

Can't believe I didn't see this project before! It has been a while since it's been updated, but I'll help out with translations if I can. Where do you want me to start working? If page 17 isn't finished, I can pick up there.

I don't think it's been done, so you'd might as well.

Goodness, I do seem to have fallen behind in my work here. There's reasons; suffice it to say moving into my new place is being a bit more of an ordeal than I expected it to, and I'll spare you all the senseless LiveJournal-ing. Should be settled within the month, and then I'll be back to translating in my spare time, whenever I can pry myself away from Monster Hunter 3 (which, for the unaware, is rather like crack in Wii form).

I'm about a thousand miles away from my home computer at present, so I can't be certain, but I believe page 17 was mostly finished when last I touched it. If you're already working on it, go right ahead, I probably won't have the chance to touch it again for at least several weeks. Otherwise, just pick out whatever seems interesting to you that isn't done yet; I'm not gonna give orders or anything of the sort, just ask that you update me (and/or anyone else working on this) here about what your plans are so there's as little duplication of effort as possible. There's a ton of text here, so coordination is a good idea, at least.

Got some help from a friend to get a tiny bit of the crunch translated. Here's a decent chunk of page 31(?). Translator notes are in [].

>>29163

About Substyle Seed cards :
The Substyle is made of 5 different types shown below. This isn't all of them, so if necessary the GM can make others. Also, more details can be found in the "Touhou Kyuubun shiki"

[I don't think we translated all of the intro piece.]
[The cards are given from Left to Right and top to bottom.]

"Youkai" : These have the most influence in Gensoukyou. There are many of them living in Gensoukyou, and their individual power is also strong.
"Yuigadokuson" [Self-centerdness]: Usage is 1/Scenario. You may set your turn during a "Bullet play(Battle Scene?)". After that, other players or the GM may use dice to reset their turn orders. (But you are SET in that particular position)

Ghost: Some years ago, a part of Gensoukyou was connected to the Netherworld, and so compared to before this race has increased in number. Most take on the form of humans, but on rare occasions they take unnameable forms as well. Don't touch those they are dangerous. Most look like an old man enjoying tea in a garden.
Appearing Unexpectedly: "Improvement of ability on the flower platform" Ghosts may move one square diagonally on the flower platform. They may jump over anything but ghosts, as well.

"Demons" : These are a minority in Gensoukyou, but most of them have powers greater than youkai. The most famous Demons in Gensoukyou live in a mansion on the lake called the Scarlet Demon Mansion.
Immortality: Useable 1/Scenario. Negate any damage applied to them.

Fairies: These are the most numerous in Gensoukyou. However, they individually don't have much power or influence, nor can they do much damage, either. They are VERY curious, and often pull pranks or cause problems.

Naivety: They take their damage at the beginning of the turn AFTER it would be applied.

Humans: "There are some humans that live in Gensoukyou. However, humans mentioned here are somewhat different than humans as we think about them normally. This is because most humans do not have powers or techniques. Most are very specialized, and in their specialty can be even more powerful than any of the other races.

Old Bloodlines: In some manner they can jump(/fly). Against non-humans, they can voluntarily force them into a "shockwave judgement(?) (If the shockwave sheet comes up as 2, roll again)

Just looked over the previous posts again. We translated some of the terms differently, so for clarity:

Youkai skill (Self-centeredness) -> Vainglory
Ghost skill (Appearing Unexpectedly) -> Phantom
Fairy skill (Naivety) -> Hardheaded

As per >>29415

A quick bump for a newcomer here. I would love to see this translated.

As big and text-heavy as this is, it may be worth our while to upload it to the wiki and see if we can't translate it collaboratively, as has been done for official books like Grimoire of Marisa. My RL schedule is too packed to try to take on the entire thing (clearly not an uncommon situation among translators here), but I would certainly try to contribute if the text was laid out chapter by chapter with transcriptions.

>>33044
That sounds like an especially good idea.

Do want! I'll help with editing, if needed.

>>33044
I've been doing this on the pages I've translated, just so I can more easily check my work against internet dictionaries and machine translation and such (it's sort of backwards to do it that way, but I'm not very good at this to begin with, so it's more helpful to me than it might be to other, more Japanese-capable sorts). The issue is that it's difficult and time-consuming, particularly since the scans are sometimes blurry and such other difficulties. Is there any sort of (preferably freeware) software that could OCR the text? It'd be much faster and easier to double-check that than to do it all by hand, as I've been doing thus far.

Don't ask why I've been away for so long. The answer is mostly "laziness". I'll be checking in here a bit more often, at least, to see the consensus about wiki'ing this thing, and to get back to working on this when I can.

>>33153
The only free Japanese OCR software I've found to work decently is SmartOCR Lite: http://www.4shared.com/dir/1006463/575b200b/public.html

You'll probably have to play with the contrast to stop it from getting confused by the background, and the learning feature is a little buggy, so you'll have to make the same corrections several times before it sticks, but it's better than nothing.

newfag here. Would it be impolite to bump this thread while asking what the status on the translation project is?

>>35517
I too am interested in the status of this project, and am going to try my own hand at some of the Flower style pages. My Japanese is not so great, but I intend to try.

Using the 1d4chan page listed above, I'm gonna try my hand at hard translating the pages people have already translated.

Page 5

Page 6

This background is somewhat difficult to work with.

Page 7

"Girls are now being born" is kind of a creepy line.

Page 8

"Have you ever thought, "Those girls in Gensokyo are really neat. I'd love to have fun with them."?"
Far too often.

A couple lines haven't been translated yet; I can fix those later when they are.

minor typo. It's particular.

hey, it's >>35517 here.

just want to say that I really appreciate what you're doing and if you want, then I can help out with checking for typoes atleast. will be going through the pages this sunday.

>>35669
Thanks for pointing that out.

Fixed page 10.

>>35719
That would be appreciated. I'll try to post a page every day until I hit where the 1d4chan stops translating, which is only a couple more pages. Then I'll try my hand at translating the rest.

Page 12

Finally getting into the Crunch. I also think I'm going to start using a name.

Page 13

The Enduring Skill Set is weird.

>>35585

"print up some sheets"?
isn't that supposed to be "print out some sheets" ?

also..the gm expression in that page....you just know he's going to throw Lily at them.

hadn't found anything else this time around, but I'll occasinally double check old pages to see if I missed anything the first time.

>>35757
What's so bad about Lily? She just heralds spring and shoots really dense danmaku.

Fixed page 9. That entire koma was a little weird, so I fixed it up.

Page 15.

After this is only one more translated page, so things will be slow from here on out.

For what it's worth, every last one of you trying to translate this are fucking awesome

You have my thanks ::3

つぶやき　（Mutterings)

昨日は小山で木の実拾い、　一昨日は掃除のお手伝い。　大変だったけれど、押入れの　＿からは見たこともない不思議なものがいっぱい出てきて、気分はもう探検家。掃除ほったらかしで怒られたけど、たからものが増えた。あ！いい香り。。。　今日はあっちに行ってみよう！
Yesterday on the hill I was gathering nuts, the day before I helped with the cleaning. Although it was really tough, I found many strange things I'd never seen before in the closet, and suddenly it was like an exploration adventure. 'Cause I neglected the cleaning, she got angry, but I found many new treasures.
Ah! Something smells great... Today let's go that way!

>>35821

nitpicking here. ardent Love, doesn't have a capitalised.

also, the translation of the mutterings (I know you didn't translated that) looks abit unnatural translated.

how is this coming along?

Greetings from /tg/ thank you for your efforts noble translators

There has to be someone else out there who cares about this that can help me. I've been translating things here and there amongst the book, translating whatever I've felt like and trying to get a feel of the system in general. I've got no photoshop skills though, so don't expect any pages in english posted here like the ones before.

The chunk I've posted here is a sentence at the bottom of page 41, regarding the rules of creation of spell cards. As you can see, it's blurred. I see that it has something to do with Experience points, I'd just like verification on what.

...and while I'm asking for help, If anyone can clarify what "I saw something!";"〇〇は見た" and "Echo Mastery";"ヤマビコの呪法" do, it'd help immensely.

〇〇は見た
固有：文目
事件の起きに場所へー番最初に登場出来る。GMが許可する限りにおいて、現場の描写を指定可能。

ヤマビコの呪法
固有：百合
1シナリオ中に2回
敵のスペルカードを自分の手番に放てる。テンションは本来の2分の１しか消費しない。スペルはシナリオ終了時忘却する。

The blur could be
場合 case/situation

Yamabiko - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazu_Hyakki_Yakō
Was in Ga-Rei I think.

If you're still having trouble, I'll help when I get home. Long day isn't even half over.

〇〇は見た
固有：文目 Inherent skill: Pattern/Design/Distinction (I think this is along the lines of "fabrication")
事件の起きに場所へー番最初に登場出来る。GMが許可する限りにおいて、現場の描写を指定可能。
You can be the first to arrive at the site where the incident arose. Up to the level allowed by GM, you may specify the portrayal of the actual/crime scene.

ヤマビコの呪法 Yamabiko's Curse
固有：百合 Inherent skill: Yuri
1シナリオ中に2回 2 times in 1 scenario
敵のスペルカードを自分の手番に放てる。テンションは本来の2分の１しか消費しない。スペルはシナリオ終了時忘却する。
The enemy's spellcard is thrown into your own plan (own deck?). Consumes only half of the original Tension. This spell is forgotten after the scenario ends.

(Does this make sense to you?)

>>37366
if you want to post your translations and then i'll try to make a pdf out of them

>>37369
First off, thanks. Those skills do make sense. I wanted a second opnion on those two because the first one is purely role-play based and the second, well, my Role-play sense tingled and thought maybe the PC would need twice the tension to cast the echoed spell card.

And silly me, what I meant on that chunk of page 41 was the two kanji before the する, though I did also miss those two you picked out.

>_> I hate it when the scan blurs out really complex kanji.

>>37377
And I will do just that... as soon as I organize some of them.

>>37396
chuui+suru is like warning, beware, take note.

項目に[star]をつけた個所は、経験点を消費する場合がある。

At passages/points/places where a star is attached to the item/entry, there are cases which consume experience points.

自らの力を具現化させ、さながら花火のように撃らあう訳だが、その力量を数値化したものが「弾」となる。ミもフタもないろ言い方をすると、攻撃力。
The attacks in these battles are calculated through the "Danmaku" stat.
What power Danmaku comes from varies from character to character.

キャラクターシートに記戴した、力、直感、智恵、威厳のうち一つの能力値を「弾」とする。
Choose one of your natural stats; Power, Intuition, Wisdom, or Dignity; and it will also represent your Danmaku Stat.

・「避」について
Concerning the Dodge Stat

これもそのまま弾幕遊戲における避けるにおいての力量を数値化したもの。
The Dodge Stat is your ability to avoid the Danmaku of others.

回避力。キャラクターシート記戴した、（直感＋運動）÷2（切り上げ）した値を「避」とする。
You dodge stat is calculated through your Inellect + Reflex, divided by 2, rounded up.

（Never could figure out what kanji ”Speed”, was... so I just took the translation from page 60）

The Flower Stage battlefield in which Danmaku occurs is represented by a grid of squares.

The weapon is a thing which the character always carries, or is always available for everyday life or Danmaku battles.

そのまま便用するものかもしれないし、力の媒介としたり、余裕を見せ付けるために持っているのかもしれない。
This weapon may be your character's actual means of dealing damage, or it may just be for showmanship.

アイディア次第でその演出は無限大えなる。

In other words; Guts or Stamina.

レコードシート上に記戴されている「体力」の緃一列10マス＝体力10点となる。
The record sheet has 10 rows of 10 squares each. Each square is 1 HP, and 10 HP equals one life.

ルールセクションでも述べるが、この体力の減算方法は注意する必要がある。
This section describes the rules of HP, so make note of this.

体力一列毎にダメージの影がキャンセルされるため。
Damage removes one life.　（One row)

（例:体力11のNPCを倒すには、２０点のダメージあっても2回当てる必要がある）
(Example:When dealing with an NPC that has 11 HP, it is necessary to hit them twice, that is deal 20 HP of damage, to defeat them.)

（表中のLife-1は、演出（フレーバー）である）
(Life-1 in the table, the director (flavor) is)
I don't get this last line, but it doesn't seem very important. Probably something about how the record sheet, at the bottom of each life column says "Life -1"

The book refers to everything in HP, and that damage removes one row of a HP. I prefer to call 1 row, that is 10 HP, 1 life.

thanks for all the hard work : D

Okay, so I guess I lied about not having photoshop skills. Here's my attempt at a page 62 in English.

But there's still little to no chance that I'm going make the rest of the book into English images/pdf. Too much work. I'm too lazy.

>>37584
if you post your translations i can pdf them

Okay, time to shamelessly ask for help again. I'm working on all the skills. I've gotten through the Specific Skills (Skills for Race/Flower cards), and all the General Skills (Ordinary skills). I'm having trouble with a few of the Special Skills. All of these have some game effect; like one of them gives you +1 to all dodge rolls, another makes it so that whenever another PC rolls a critical, you can gift them 5 of your Tension.

Here are the the three I can't figure out or would like a second opnion on.

愛の告白
相手を指定し、告白を宣言相手より高い出目が出れぼ成功ただし強制はできない。

縁結び
あなた以外の2名を両想いにできる。6ゾロ2連続で成功。

琥珀の中の夢
古の力を解攷させる事ができるどんな判定でも相手と同値で成功させる。

Thanks random people who know Japanese better than I do!

I need to look again later maybe. This is my thought.

愛の告白
相手を指定し、告白を宣言相手より高い出目が出れぼ成功ただし強制はできない。
Love Confession
Designate a companion (another player) if you can make bigger bulging eyes (bambi eyes), he/she cannot obligate successes.
(some abilities give automatic successes, this skill seems to be able to counter such a thing)

縁結び
あなた以外の2名を両想いにできる。6ゾロ2連続で成功。
Marriage
You can continue Rolling for successes with a 6 already rolled twice in a row

(If a six appears twice in a row, this means it is a critical normally - I think, I must read rules again), but this lets you to continue rolling for successes to increase the number further)

琥珀の中の夢
古の力を解攷させる事ができる どんな判定でも相手と同値で成功させる。
Dream within Amber
You can unravel the mysteries of ancient power. Whatever the 'Judgement,' you and your companion (opponent) take an equivalent number of successes.

Okay, I get Love Confession. Dream within Amber I was thinking that you use it and the Judgement favors the other party, but I guess it makes you tie the judgement, and both of you succeed? (In the case of attacks, the damage received is equal to the Attack Roll - Defense Roll, max 10, so that would make it so that you didn't get any damage.)

And then Marriage. It's the one the puzzles me the most. Yes, in Judgements, you roll 2d6, and if double sixes come up, it's a critical. I remember back to one game I played, some mechanic of it was that when you rolled a six, it counted as +1 success and you got to re-roll that die. (though I can't for the life of me remember what game it was) So it could be if you roll a critical, you get to roll again. But the first part in there has something about two people besides yourself, which is probably where the reason for the name Marraige comes in. Also, this line from the Glossary might help;
ゾロ目：ダイスの目がそろっていること。
Or it might just state what you already knew.

I liked all the General Skills better... the descriptions of those were mostly flavor text... Though if we get these last ones translated, I'll have ALL of the skills translated.

I agree with you on marriage- my wording for 6ゾロ2連続で成功 was awkward, and I think you summarized it better- when you roll double 6s (a critical), you get that +1 success and can continue to roll again.

There is a similar mechanic in another game (a d6 system) where, as you said, if a 6 is rolled it counts as a critical and you can roll again. I think it was called a 'wild die' system.

The first part あなた以外の2名を両想いにできる just says "with the exception of yourself, two other characters can fall in love" - it is confusing, like you say. Maybe your character is being the 'priest' for two other characters? I think it doesn't affect the rest of play really- just flavor.

On Dream within Amber I agree with your conclusion- it forces a tie on the number of successes (though, if there are other influencing factors it would seem to still depend on those bonuses, so maybe it just neutralizes the dice rolling?)

I'll put up translations for pages 23 & 25 this weekend.

Oh, a couple things I didn't bother to mention is that these three skills in question are "Useable once a Scenario" and that (being Special Skills), they all have an EXP cost to aquire. (Marrage = 3 exp, Dream within Amber = 10, Declaration of Love = 6)

So the effect of Marriage is that you get to roll again after rolling a critical, and you make two people fall in love.
And with a cost of 10 exp, I'd think for Dream within Amber that the judgement is tied AFTER all the skill affects are applied.

>I'll put up translations for pages 23 & 25 this weekend.

AWESOME. Part of the reason I've been floundering around the back of the book is hopes that someone would take on another Flower Card or two.

And PS. I've been lying to you all. Specifcally about skills and HP. You aren't limited to only one Special Skill (in the example characters, Reimu has two of them), and damage removes one HP, not one life. The pages explaining everything are much more clear after the reading the rules... go figure.

I had been busy (and lazy) about finishing up translating the mutterings. But after seeing all of your work, well, I was more motivated.

例えるなら、　草原を揺らす風。例えるなら、自在にうねる水の流れ。たとえ何であろうと、私を脅かすには至らない。特に望んだ事もなく、苦痡を感じる事もなく、ただ、その”輪”の中で過ごす。でも、それは空気と同じ。何もないと同じ。ふと、不安になる。。。私は”生きてる”？

If compared, a wind-ruffled grassland. If compared, a winding stream.
No matter what happens, threatening me is pointless.
Nothing particularly desired, nor any feeling of fear,
only within that 'loop' do I spin. But, that is the same as the air. The same as nothing.
Unexpectedly, I'll become uneasy. Am I "Alive?"

Okay, just a couple reactions on the Specific Skills (Since there was a later page with them on it, so I've already opinions on them). I of course, cannot complain about the things I haven't translated and had no want to translate!

For Skilled Speaker; (Orator)
This is a mistake I too made. It's not that you get +1 in a General Skill Judgement, but rather that in in General Judgement, you get +1 Skill Combinations. Towards a General Judgement, you may use at most two skills to modify the Achievement Value. Will this skill, you'd get to use at most three.

And for the other one, it's just "During Tension Judgement, gain 1d6 more Tension", right?

So pages 56-57. I got the rest of them, but there's a pair of tables for random generation of character Nicknames and a pair of tables for random birth generation (character backstory). OOoooo how I'm not looking forward to them. 180 small phrases over all of the tables. And the scan blurs out a column of the birth table, though it's not too bad. Anywho, just needed to complain a bit...

Mm... anywho, I guess I'll prepare pages 44-48 to post here soon. The rules section! Mark off five more as done!

No one's gonna mind if I share pages 35-48 with a link like this http://www.mediafire.com/?mtmkahkyejz , right?

There's that then.

thanks to everyone involved in this, so far i have compiled the following

ENGLISH SCRIPTS:23,25,30-49

I also have some extras in japanese, a few pages that were released correcting mistakes that appeared on the book

>>37922
Thanks for the perspective on what needs to be done. And I guess I should add that errata to the list of things to get to.

I will have english script for pages 19,21,27 and 29 up soon. That should be the rest of the flower styles I think.

This next two posts should be the last four of the flower cards I believe. I referenced the english translation of the Skills from Mizuko's pages so there is some continuation.

I think this means we have english translation (scanlated + english script) from page 1 - 50. 60,62, 64, 67-69(back)

Yay more stuff done! Though I'm ashamed to admit that I have nothing right now. Blame Sid Meyer for one, and my computer eating all my new data for another.

But I did look at the thing labeled as errata that I had, and all of them were already in the scans. (perhaps the scans were the second release?)

So I will shake off this procrastination! But it's really discouraging when I remember how I had most of the first page of the example Scenario done and then BAM; computer decides that the data doesn't exist.

Oh wow, I didn't realize someone else had picked up translation on this. I found out shortly after making the above English pages that I kind of suck as a translator, and then finals hit and I forgot about this entirely. This is all very cool.

If no one else is at it, I'll start making more English pages of the translated parts within the next couple weeks.

>Old Bloodlines: In some manner they can jump(/fly). Against non-humans, they can voluntarily force them into a "shockwave judgement(?) (If the shockwave sheet comes up as 2, roll again)

Message to anyone else working on this; This translation for Old Bloodlines is kinda incorrect. I finally got to the GM section and the tables therein, and one of the tables is the one you use for the Old Bloodlines specific skill. Instead of "shockwave", it should be translated "impulse". The power allows you to randomly determine first impulsive reaction of a human towards a non-human and vice-versa. If I didn't leave it on my other flash drive, I'd upload the table. I guess you'll have to wait until I get my act together/when I upload it with the rest of my work.

On the bright side, I think that this next bunch of stuff I will upload will be the last that is needed to play the game!

http://www.mediafire.com/?l0u3uvz3oly

There's the last I'm gonna do. Like many translators before me, and many after me; life has caught up to me, and I'm gonna be busy again. This last bit should make the game playable, but I've no time to translate the sample scenario. Also, I didn't bother with the "Master Sheet" (page 63). It's not strictly nesscessary for playing; it's just a sheet for the GM to keep track of things on.

That's that then. I doubt I'll ever get around to translating anything else for this, but, hey, in a year, you never know...though hopefully someone else will do the rest.

See ya.

Thank you for all of the hard work Mizuko!

I am currently editing (making some continuity/editing tweaks to smooth it all out)and putting the english onto the pages. At my pace right now, I will hopefully have that finished in the next week or two. Then I'll assemble it into a pdf. =)

It is finished! The PDF is uploaded here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ti5wnh9xm7xh4t1

I edited and compiled the rest of the pages...so hopefully it works and is easier to view. I also translated the scenario and others, but not the character profiles on page 53-56. Maybe later if I have time (it is busy examination time right now for me). Maybe I will do those with the Replay for a bigger release... But for now this is the whole thing. Of course, please suggest changes and edits.

It has been fun working on this with everyone. Thank you for the hard work!
Please also tell me if I should edit the credits to include people I am sure I missed.

thank you so much Ksup!

I will do an update, fixing some of the mistakes and using the feedback from the linked thread after I return from traveling (finally summer vacation!)...it may be about mid-august. Hopefully also I will do the 3 character pages, and get the Replay scenario translated as well. :)

I uploaded it to gensokyo.org and created a wiki page for it.
