Other than that this game sounds awesome. France does seem to produce some damn fine RPGs.
Please, keep in mind the content of my comment : there are like one or two sentences altered between the French and the English version. From memory, one of them mentioned the existence of a God of Sodomy. That's about as far as the changes go !

Regarding the Yy dice mechanic, there's a whole thread devoted to it in RPG Open (a guy who didn't want to substract) but I'm not sure the probabilities are as simple as you say, Chaosvoyager. I'm no expert, though.
