closes #61

For this French translation, I've tried to use as much as possible the current French translation of Charge SRD, which is available in the same repository. Some paragraphs and terms are directly copied from it, and I'd like to thank the translators for their remarkable work.

Although, I've adopted a major change I want to explicit here. The English term momentum was translated as initiative in the Charge translation. Personally, I felt it didn't fit the idea of a pushing-forward force, something that was increasing the pace of the action as the story progresses. "Initiative" felt like something happening at the beginning of the story, and not throughout it.

So I've picked the French word impulsion, because I think it reflects the idea I've expressed just above: something accelerating the rhythm, building up the… momentum.

Oh the switch from initiative to impulsion is interesting. I'll run it with the original translators on discord, but I remember we had a very thorough discussion on this subject. It's possible we might keep initiative, but we will see!

Big thanks for this!

Long story short, my laptop broke, and its being repaired. I have a temporary laptop but I havent installed publisher on it since its temporary. As soon as I get my old laptop back, I'll try to work on a PDF version of this!

(you can ignore the failed build, its normal that it can't deploy from a fork!)

Well, I don't know what are the next steps.
I've "just" added the Markdown file, but I have no idea on how to integrate it to the fari-games website… Would just a merge of this PR enough?

It would! I was planning on merging it on Monday! 😊
