The backers for 7th sea have the preview PDF, the real books will be out in less then two months..

So.. I want to play 7th sea (or run it)

We can do what players want, but here's some ideas..

"Jenny, Jenny.. who can I turn to?" A long time Sophia's Daughter has passed away, and her daughter needs to know what the status is of various Jenny-houses in the different lands.  So, she sends the players on a whirlwind tour to check in with various Sophia's Daughters cells and to gather information for them, and to rescue those in needs of rescuing.

"The Mermaid's Song".. a lusty (and some busty) pirate crew preying on innocent and not-so-innocent traders..

"Down with L'Emperur!" (set in Montaigne, the players are a part of a cell trying to take down L'e,perur before he destroys the nation.

windwhisperedsecrets

I am very interested, more in playing than running (but could run if need be). Were you planning to have this be forum based or over some other medium?

On here works. If I may express a preference should you end up GM, I like options 1 and 2 better. They allow for the most flexibility so far as character concepts.

MadPanda

Tentative interest here--I like what I'm seeing in 2nd Ed so far, and I admit to having a thing for swashbuckling tomboys.  :D

I'm interested in playing. Character concept will probably be determined somewhat by story plot, mood at time, and how recently I watched The Princess Bride :)

I'll admit I got a whale of a laugh out of the fifth pre-gen character from the quickstart document, since she's more or less exactly the sort of swashbuckling tomboy I like to play* (and the possible SSR subplot aimed in her general direction was perfectly placed).

(* Namely petite, dark, and oh so very dangerous!)

Would love to give it a try, though unfortunately I didn't back it so no PDF's for me. I hope those who do have it, have fun though!

The quick start rules might still be on drivethrurpg .. that ought to be enough to help with the rules, and I'm sure someone could help you with the character creation bit.

Alas, they aren't up.  Or at least I can't find 'em, and that's with knowing where they were.

There were a few changes between the quickstart and the release candidate, so that may be why.  However!  We DID unlock the 'free' basic rules thing, so that will probably be forthcoming very soonish.

I think the full PDF will be available soon on DriveThru, they sent a link to backers with the final copy (and it's going to print now, and out before gencon!)

Revelation

If they do release it soon i'd definitely love to give it a try. I had a fun Eisen character in a short lived game, would be fun to try that again with his Eisenfaust style if such is around still. The first two ideas would interest me the most.

AllieCat

This is what they said on the latest KS update today:

7th Sea on DTRPG

Over the next 12 hours (or so), we’re going to be delivering a DTRPG code via Backerkit to all backers who are receiving the 7th Sea Core Rulebook. The link we’re sending will automatically add the product to your cart for $0.00; just check out… and you’re done.

If you don’t get an email, don’t fret. The code should be available to you on your digital downloads page at this link by tomorrow at the latest:

(snipped out the backerkit website)

The new PDF has all sorts of corrections and changes from the previous versions, including new information about Villains, a ton of Ussuran and Sarmatian edits, and a full character sheet for the game. We’ll be making additional materials available this month (like maps), so we’ll update the file along with posting new materials on our website.

The PDF will go up for sale next week, but for now… the game is just for backers. We can’t wait to see what you all do with it.


They also announced a single player cRPG 7th sea video game to be kickstarted in late 2016.

Is Finegan still a style? I'm wanting to play a wise-cracking brawler who might be available to consult on an investigation.

Interested depending on what the book ends up looking like, which even impacts my saying I'd lean to doing something with Avalon. No idea how that place comes off in 2e.

AllieCat

Here's a brief overview form the book:

Far north and west of mainland Théah lie the Glamour Isles, the United Kingdoms of Avalon. Three crowns linked by a single destiny and duty, Avalon is a place of mystery and fantastic reality. Visitors to the isles always  remember how the dew makes the grass shine like emeralds, how the cottonwhite clouds stretch across the cobalt-blue sky and how the forests are tall, dark and menacing. As its visitors suggest, Avalon could very well be a living færie tale. If you ask the Avalons, they smile, wink and remind you not to walk alone at night—not without an iron cross around your neck or a four-leaf clover in your pocket.

What Théans colloquially refer to as “Avalon” is actually three island kingdoms: Avalon, Inismore and the Highland Marches. Each island has its own peculiarities.

Avalon itself is not particularly mountainous, but has its share of rolling hills, glens, moors and marshes. The islands see a good deal of precipitation and the intense rain and warm weather make for good crops. Morning and evening in Avalon are always covered with a thick fog that seems to linger all through the night, a fog that even the chilly ocean winds never blow away.

The main island and capital of the three Kingdoms is the island of Avalon, ruled by Queen Elaine, keeper of the Sacred Graal. Both Inismore and the Highland
Marches have sworn fealty to her crown.

But humans aren’t the only residents of Avalon. The Sidhe (SHEE), an ancient and powerful race, also reside there. Long ago, the Sidhe made a sacrifice granting the inhabitants of the isles the magic
of Glamour: the ability to summon the power of legends. Both humans and Sidhe have this power, but only if they make a sacred vow to protect Avalon from enemies without and enemies within.
While the island kingdoms are technically united, political tensions still exist. For centuries, Avalon monarchs exploited both Inismore and the Marches, subjugating the people under an iron boot. But then,
out of the chaos of civil war, Elaine arose, bearing the Graal. But how did she get it? Who gave it to her? And is she truly worthy of bearing it and the crown?

Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, the King of Inismore, Jack O’Bannon, may be an immortal demi-god or may be insane. Or, he may be both. He has sworn fealty to Elaine so long as she stays true to Avalon. And in the north, the King
of the Highland Marches, James MacDuff, has also sworn fealty to Elaine, but many wonder if his own desires eclipse his concern for his people.

Kolbrandr

Which seems mostly the same, but I'm curious to the changes in glamour, and apparently only Elaine's 20 knights can use the stuff?

Revelation

A friend of mine shared his backer copy with me, definitely interested now.

Oooo!  Tall, willowy blondes...   ;D

EDIT: and at the risk of getting ahead of myself, and the discussion as a whole, heeeeeeeeeeere's my street rat!  She is a work in progress, of course, and subject to change.

Being of base origin (so far as anyone knows), she has no surname.  She speaks Old Thean, Vodacce, and one other language which I will delay determining until later.

ETA: official form-filled character sheet!  And the lass on p87 of the Core Book is a fair approximation of what she'd look like, although she'd be more inclined to trousers than a skirt.

Glad y'all like her! I should add that inspired by the Chevalier d'Eon (the historical figure, not the anime), Martinique is trans. There's a bit of La Maupin in there too, except for the arson.

"And what are you in for?"

"Arson."

"That's not too bad..."

"Burned down the convent I was sent to to cover up my murder of the Mother Superior and escaped with my girl-toy?"

I think it was a nun that was already dead when La Maupin stole her body. Not that a short-tempered career duelist would have a problem making a corpse...

My theory is La Maupin died fairly young because she had packed in so much awesome insanity in her life already by that point.

No worries.  It wasn't a very good one on my part.

I think I'll do the Jenny Jenny thing, if that's ok with people :)

I can work that in. I figure the guy I'm chasing is a frequent visitor to Jenny Houses, so I have no choice but to follow him through them looking for information

Alternately his Loyal hubris means we could have him owe a debt to one of the others (they saved his life or something) so he's accompanying them til he has a chance to repay that.

I've almost got my Sorte Strega written up, but I was curious on the Signature Item Advantage. If I tok it and made a heirloom sorte deck, how would that work? Could I use it to spend a Hero Point and remove/ignore a number of wounds equal to my highest trait when removing Lashes? Like if my highest trait was 3, then I spend a Hero point to ignore the first 3 wounds when removing a Lash (eg. 1, 2, or 3 Lashes means 1 Lash is removed without taking any wounds; 4 Lashes means that I only take 1 Wound in removing the Lash; all subject to me spending a Hero Point)?

Story: Escape from Vodacce and her marriage

Membership: Sophia's Daughters

A young and potent daughter of the Vestini clan, from a minor family, Eliana always hated her destiny to be sold off like property. Fortunately, the strength of her gift brought her to the attention of her distant cousin, Valentina Vilanova, another powerful Sorte Strega and one of the founders of Sophia's Daughters. Over the years, Eliana was given the chance to partake in some of Valentina's secret reading cirlces, recieving a modicum of education. At first, as a part of this circle, Eliana was relatively content and thought she could help make life easier for other Fate Witches by staying 'within the system'. But now a few years into her marriage to Dominic Bernoulli, her situation has become intolerable and she longs for an escape.

The tone of the book in various places kinda killed my enthusiasm, having finally picked it up, but you seem to have enough players anywho, so, good luck with the game, hope it goes well.

Crash

It is very much a storytelling game more than a crunchy dice game now, but I love the setting and it does what the writers wanted it to do.  I am guessing those that want more crunch are going to house rule some stuff.

That may not be what Kolbrandr is referring too, but I know a number of people that are thinking that way.  I want to see how it plays a few times first before rendering my verdict on the rules and any changes that might be necessary.

Kolbrandr

That's some of what I'm referring to, sure, it does go way more into the narrative side of things than I personally enjoy, but a fair bit of it was straight up the tone of the writers honestly. That one sidebar in the magic chapter kind of killed me as far as my personal list of "don't talk to someone who spent money on your work like that". (I'm also not thrilled by the changes to Eisen and that glamour is now the sole purview of the 20 reincarnations of the round table, various touches like that)

Crash

I liked Eisen (other than removing dracheneisen from the majority of the nobility).  Yeah they have a particular way they want this game to be played and seem to be aggressive in the our way is the best way stance, but whatever.  I change things to fit what I like so I really don't care what they say.

I get it though.  I am sure they have chased some away from the game, but probably brought in others.  I love the setting and am mostly looking forward to the New World and Ifr for setting.  My group didn't much want to play the original rpg (boo on them), but I used sooooo much of the artwork and flavor to color other games.  I will certainly do the same.

I really like the rules for a forum game as it is easy to make a character and in a way rules light enough that I think it will run smoothly.  I look forward to finding out anyway.

Are you still taking people?  I've got a character I've wanted to play forever in 7th Sea, and with the new game actually up for me from backing it, I'm wanting to do this! 

Plus, I've been watching Black Sails recently, so that's only brought me up to wanting swashbuckling even further.  xD

AllieCat

Sure.. people are still working on characters I think :)

Officially making Marsilia's third language Eisen.

Hope you don't mind the fan club, Bruna...   ;D

Well, here's my work in progress.  Went for something of a "Latin Lover" trope.  Solves his problems either with the blade or by bed.  True to the Bon Vivant kind of lifestyle.  I swear, there will be at least one scene where he's diving out of a second or third story window while missing articles of clothing after sleeping with some married woman.  Possibly followed by a rooftop chase scene with him trying to put articles of clothing back on.  Including his boots.

Yeah I was wondering the same.  I may eventually do a Sandbox game myself but I was hoping for another book or two before doing that.
