Hey everybody, over this past Origins weekend I thought more on how to hack 7th Sea and swashbuckling into a Fate Accelerated game I really enjoy. (The ones out there I have problems with.)
One, because of love, and 2, because I'm running a one shot in two weeks at DexCon in Morristown, NJ.
So I thought I'd post the pregens, and see if, based on their aspects, the characters speak out to people, or if they completely alienate you, or if they just don't feel appropriate for the genre/setting.
First off I changed the FAE approaches, and cut them down to 3 in total.
Daring: roll daring when you are swinging from a chandelier, leaping into a mob of highwayman, sneaking through a guarded palace.
Charming: belittling a rival, wooing a paramour, convincing others to do what you ask
Cunning: lining up a cannon shot, figuring out puzzles, reading someone's body language.
Danny Hawkins: high concept: Silver-tongued Bard; trouble: More luck than Skill (inspiration: Danny Kaye from The Court Jester)
Sylvia Janssen: high concept: Famous Noble pistolier, trouble: On the run for Forgery; Student of the Rasmussen Academy
Dominique Minon: High Concept: Former Kings Musketeer, trouble: Wanted for desertion, Trained in the Valroux school. (Inspiration Fanfan la Tulipe)
Esteban Santiago: High Concept: Adventuring Archeologist, trouble: Curiosity killed the cat; Member of the Explorer's Society (Inspiration Indiana Jones)
Katrina Muldova: High Concept: Pirate with a heart of gold; trouble: Bride on the run (inspiration: Queen of the Pirates, Tiger of the Seven Seas, Against all Sails)
Thoughts thus far? I can post stunts later.
