I found it's quite easy to translate these. Google gets one 95% of the way there. The skills get mistranslated, but you can compare the game aids to figure it out. I can do a scenario now in about 30 minutes. So if there's some other French favorites, I'm game for more translations.

I went ahead and made this effort a separate thread.

Given that I had some time today and have heard about the Compendium II for so long, I did an attempt at some translation from French. I got the campaign translated. Here is the campaign outline. Live links are to the scenarios. I will edit and add others later. In this thread please post any corrections or feel free to translate and include your own link. I don't know when I'll get more time.

Under each scenario is the path to follow for the side that wins. (fin) means move to the finale scenario.

Dream of the Black Stone
  Heroes    -> Wait Until We Speak!
                             Heroes    -> Thog and Thak (fin)
                             Overlord -> The Nightmare Awakes (fin)
  Overlord -> Night Expedition
                           Heroes     -> Inevitable Destiny (fin)
                           Overlord  -> Bloody Froth
                                                     Heros      -> The Great Sacrifice (fin)
                                                     Overlord -> Between Two Worlds (fin)

If the heroes win the final of the campaign tree, congratulations!

If the overlord wins the final of the tree, nothing seems to prevent this horrible creature from joining our world.

Once done play the finale 'The Black Baton' to complete the story.

And another, Wait Until We Speak! https://www.conan-scenarios.com/scenarioPage.php?MissionId=1406

Here's the organization between them. Follow the branch of the winner.

Dream of the Black Stone
  Heroes    -> Wait Until We Speak!
                             Heroes    -> Thog and Thak (fin)
                             Overlord -> The Nightmare Awakes (fin)
  Overlord -> Night Expedition
                           Heroes    -> Inevitable Destiny (fin)
                           Overlord -> Bloody Froth
                                                    Heros      -> The Great Sacrifice (fin)
                                                    Overlord -> Between Two Worlds (fin)

If the heroes win the final of the campaign tree, congratulations!

If the overlord wins the final of the tree, nothing seems to prevent this horrible creature from joining our world.

Being a rainy day, with my wife engaged in a project that requires silence in the house. I got curious and found the first scenario on the French site and translated. I hope I haven't angered the copyright gods.

How to make a monster: Thog (step by step sculpture by Stephane N'Guyen)
The Share of Fhote (short story by Not Quite Dead)
Painting Guide: Thog (by Martin Grandbarbe)
THS: from Adventure Mode to Versus Mode (by Fred Henry)
Thog (by Pallantides)

The live action Titans was pretty well acted, filmed, scored, edited. It's the story that is just so dark and the focuses on gratuitous violence at times. I watched a different series recently and noted that when there was some really horrible thing about to happen it always cut right at that moment and left it to the imagination and thought Titans could have used that editor.

From the Heroes Rule Book v2:

Quote

(6) Icons: (Area Effect Symbol) indicates that the spell is an area attack that affects an entire area and all characters within it (the spell caster and all friendly and enemy characters). --pg.4 lower left.

Quote

Characters defend against and suffer damage from spell attacks as they would against other attack. --pg. 16 upper left, 1st paragraph, last sentence.

So yes.

Quote

"Imagine the spell this way: The caster conjures up a mystical snake that inflicts the bite, then the snake dissipates."  -- Jim Williamson on BGG

It's cast against anyone within line of sight. So, in this interpretation the mystical snake from the outer dark phases in and attacks that character. Then that character is using his sword to deflect it's bite. 

I wanted to experiment a bit with basing figuring the wolf model was a bit plain. I also have a theory that the base shouldn't overshadow or take the spotlight from the main model. So I've done the following to one wolf model.

Next I'm going to try an icy surface under the wolf.

This was early in my painting. She looks like it was a very rough night.

I live in Nashville, TN if anyone is around for a game.

I think the "A", "B", "C" reference is just book keeping while you build the draw pile. It's a case where trying to be even more explicit and clarifying it completely muddies the waters.

My thought is that there is no tile distinction. I think that maybe a typo. So my interpretation is as follows:

"Remove the EXIT tile (29) and the PENTACLE tile (26) from the pack of tiles and set them aside. Shuffle the remaining tiles to form the draw pile."

They put out a Christmas roadmap (https://tinyurl.com/ycgx4ow9) for 2019.  It had these tid bits:

The delivery of ...

...

Batman(TM): Gotham City Chronicles (April)

...

And new campaigns (more info coming up):

...

Batman(TM): Gotham City Chronicles, 2nd campaign (after the delivery of the 1st one).

...

So they will announce after the delivery of the first one which is planned for April. So if you're saving for it, then I'd say be ready for June.

Back in the saddle after winter break. Just a quick cell photo photo.

Should I put blood on his axe or not?

I use a 3-d printed dice holder for the standees.

I'm clueless on the television reference.

I've had some really good results with the speed route. I think the colors blend a bit better if you get them just right when the next layer goes on.

Here's what I've done with them.

I should post my pictures. It's weird painting these after the Conan ones. One can really tell the difference in detail quality.

Por favor, perdone a mi pobre español. Haré mi mejor esfuerzo para responder.

Obstaculiza y Bloquear siempre está activo. No tienen nada que ver con la activadas.

El Munchkinero realizó una acción clásica al aprender el primer escenario. Excelente, hay más sorpresas como esta para ambos lados.

That it happen....

Collecting is a heck of a thing to get into. I remember when my wife bought me a starter set of Netrunner. I looked at her and said, "What have you done?" She was confused at the time. Now years later with a complete collection she understands. At least it wasn't MtG.

I do not work for Monolith so anything I say is speculation and my own (however wrong or right) opinion. I would posit a hard no on the sculpts, those are mostly likely owned by Monolith (and quite possibly even some rights owned by the artists) and they would have to extend a license to Shinobi. Why would they do that? It's possible if decent terms were offered, but given how tight the margins are on things like this it's nearly impossible that it would ever happen.

There was an earlier kickstarter that had Conan miniatures but it was pulled early with little information as to why. There is a rumor they have grabbed the rights to those molds. However, there is no evidence I've seen that these rumors are anything more than wild speculation.

Personally, even if Shinobi comes up with decent sculpts I have serious doubts about their ability to deliver rules with decent game play. Also I'm heavily invested in the Monolith product line at this point and would rather have that continue. The odds of me buying anything they offer are quite low.
