That's not accurate. John has been comparing second edition to Battlestar Galactica. Its a pseudo reimagining. Everything is still there but things are a bit to a lot different.
There were a lot of things in the first edition that weren't... Expected developments. Plus fifteen years has passed and more than just the RPG industry has changed. There is a lot more we can, and should, be doing with 7th Sea that a linear continuation wouldn't be able to support.
Our goal is to make a stronger, more internally consistent Theah. A goal that is better served by gutting the shit and building on the gold.
I really hope you appreciate the craft were working here... And if you don't you should still support us. We hope to be successful enough with 2nd Edition to support a legacy brand too.

I really appreciate that and believe me when i say if I could, I would. 7th Sea isn't paying my bills and with a daughter who's just turning one, finances are restrictive for me. I
might make GenCon for the (hopefully) launch of 7th Sea... But that's not even a guarantee for me. I'll pass the word along to the rest of the crew though and hopefully one of them can find the time so roll dem bones.
