Morlaes,
Would you like to tell us more about your business? How many people are there in Icaruss Press; is it just you and whoever is needed on a per-project basis, or do you have a particular organization? What kind of capital do you have? How about your goals in rpg publishing? What does "indie" mean to you? How do you see the current French rpg scene, what are the trends and how do your goals interact with them? What kind of rpgs you like to play? What is Praetoria Prima like? What kind of indie games would you be interested in translating? how would you publish them?
Being transparent about stuff like this is, I've found, pretty important in building trust in the local indie scene. It also helps us evaluate whether we might have some projects that would benefit from French confederates. While I'd love it if there were more indie activity in the Francophone rpg scene, I've never heard about your project before, so I have no idea what to make of it.

Dear Eero,
I'll try to anwser to any questions, one by one :
Quote
Would you like to tell us more about your business?
--> Icare is a very young publishing house wich goal is to promote and publish quite marginals games.

How many people are there in Icaruss Press; is it just you and whoever is needed on a per-project basis, or do you have a particular organization?
--> As i say we are a very little compagny. I manage all business office but i'm helped by an enthousiast community of authors and illustrators.
Quote
What kind of capital do you have?
--> indiscret question, so secret answer ;) . Few thousands dollars.
Quote
How about your goals in rpg publishing?
-->My goal is to promote and help rpg creators without lost too much money and i hope in one or two years even won some money. As all RPG publisher isn't it?
Quote
What does "indie" mean to you?
--> Indie rpg mean for me one word : freedom. Freedom of creativity. Nevertheless this freedom rarely agree with the goals of major publising compagny. So indies games often stays confidentials unspite of theirs qualities.
Quote
How do you see the current French rpg scene, what are the trends and how do your goals interact with them?
Bader than us one. French rpg market is a quite confidential one. But they're thousands of players awaiting new rpg. We're looking to offer them originals games on specific subjects.
Quote
What kind of rpgs you like to play?
I like to play fantasy, super, sf, and historicals games. Sometimes gothic horror or victorian age...
Quote
What is Praetoria Prima like?
Praetoria Prima is a game located under the Nero's reign. You play secret romans agent which goal is to preserve Empire and its stability.
Its an historical game with some fun.
Quote
What kind of indie games would you be interested in translating?
As i made for french games i published (or will publish), just games i like with nice team. For me relationship is essential and i want to work only with nicely people.
Quote
how would you publish them?
Depending of the game. Pdf, POD, real print, both of them. It will be a negociation with each author or team.
That's done :p
I hope i have well answer to your questions.
Best regards
Icare
GB Steve:
Are you also planning on bringing French games to a wider market? I'm thinking of games like Star Drakkar, Charognards, Sovok, Patient 13 or Larmes de Rouille.
