In general, a good overview of French RPGs can be found on French Wikipedia. A major repository of French language games is Guide du Rôliste Galactique. These are also sources for looking up the mentioned French games, especially those not in print anymore.
- Julien and Ryan are from the podcast Rôle'n Play. They mention French games like Rêve de Dragon, Pavillon Noir, Dies Irae, and Chroniques Oubliées: Contemporain, specifically the adventure L'Héritage Greenberg, and Cats the Conspurracy.
- Laura talks about the publisher Black Book Editions, and French games such as Wuerm, Polaris, and Terres d'arran.
- Mathieu is from the cannel Rôliste TV and in addition to games already mentioned above, he talks about Avant Charlemagne, Empire Galactique, Dungeons and Kittens, KNIGHT, and I mention translations of In Nomine, Nephilim, and Agone. He talks about the convention OctoGônes, which happened just the weekend before this episode was published. If you want to read up on the person behind the "French Satanic Panic", you can find here on Wikipedia.

The prize-winning games A mentions, though not from France, are Wilderfeast and La Collection Max Brown. The game I talk about in which you play insects is called La Plaine des Bourdonnements, you can find a French article about it here.

Belonging Outside Belonging is a reference to a game system originally published in the game Dream Askew/ Dream Apart, which I also mentioned in the intro of Part 1. The Japanese-themed game is L'empire des Cerisiers.
