Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!Beat me to it LG...
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!*BOINGBOINGBOINGBOING* EEEEEEE!!!!
"He used the Force!"
"Yeah, mass times acceleration!"
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!I hope I couldn't be happier. Hope being the key word....
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!I signed on to sail before the mast. Seeing as the parts of the game I hate were the ones forced on him or added later, I like the possible outcome of this.
So long as mechanics are not scrapped for a "roll a d6 and that's it" method, I will be open to what he wants to try. I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.

Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!
Thought that might make at least some of you happy...
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!If you go to John Wick presents site, which was linked on the end of the AEG announcement, there is a post titled "No Dice".
Read that and consider the possibilities I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!If this means no more Stargate in the sewers of Montaigne, I can get behind this.

Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!You do realize the suppressed final sermon of the second prophet revealed you are all characters in a game?
I know that one is true because I was there when it was sealed away in the actual info we ate never giving the GMs vault. I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!Better that than being just part of a dream of an autistic kid staring at a snowglobe.

Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!That WAS option 6 because I was a fan of that show.

Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!I am so excited i can't even words......what........ !!!
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!Stephen, this is NOT the best thing to happen to you this year.
And now to jump the gun... The new combat system so does not accurately portray combat and I working on a 300 page set of revisions. Sorry, just wanted to beat somebody to it. I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!Well Dave, here's your first chance to kibbitz. Two pics fresh from the FB page of Mr. Wick himself.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!BTW, everyone take a closer look at that first pic, you can get a glimpse of the new Reputation mechanic. I am really REALLY liking that.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!Ignoring what appears to be missing and focusing on what we can see...
First item: Arcana contains a virtue AND hubris. That is something several of us have toyed with and it opens a ton of possibility. Second item: lack of built up points in skills. This points away from a shift to the old L5R keep knack thing a ton of people have been begging for since the game released. (Or else this character is really incompetent) Item three: skill organization. I'm going to hedge this by suggesting it's a shortcut list and not organized by skill block for ease of play. But it may suggest a shift in style to buying knacks directly instead of skill sets. Item four: the backgrounds. Read like job descriptions that may be supplying your skill sets. This is going to push players into a limited number of options before they just run out of points. (And prevent those "I have every knack" characters) do not mistake this for character classes. It looks to be a mix and match type thing for you Nun/Spy or Smuggler/Casanova/Duelist players. Item five: the reputation list. Looks like this is going to merge some of the old background stuff. Getting known for certain things will likely lead to side quests and such. I think this is suited for characters like Don Gallo, Rene, Lady Bravada, Francois and my old Rodrigo character ( who would likely break the system). Item six: not sure how I feel about a religion listing. I have to keep in mind that the era was very, very strongly aligned on that issue. Much more than the game has been. It may just be a flavor listing augmenting the "profession" line that never meant anything either. And that long post is my 15 second first impression as viewed on my phone. Edit: forgot while typing to note that I am intrigued by an advantage titled "Die Hard" I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!Mr. Wick posted the following on FB today with the caption, "Research"
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!If that is research, let's lay odds on plans being to expand not replace existing sourcebook material. Because there would be way too much to rewrite on top of adding a continent. But wise scholarly types have noted that Italian trade dominance came out of routes through Africa and the mid East. So maybe he's looking to correct a gap.
I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!The Africa equivalent was going to be called something like Tar-Nejatar or something like that? I'm pretty sure I'm recalling that incorrectly.
I wouldn't mind some retweaking of the lore, all things considering. "You're still mad at me about that whole 'gun-pointing' thing, aren't you?" -- Fortunato Valeri

Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!
Is this what you were referring to, LG?
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!We never had a name for it that I recall. Remember discussing some vague thoughts about a southern island/landmass to equate but no real details. Patrick put some work into it before we got nudged in the direction of the Western hemisphere.
But I honestly don't have interest in spreading a game beyond the continent so I never needed the material for an Africa. I don't mind growing old... but I hate growing up.
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!More awesome pics from Mr. Wick
Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!"What would Errol Flynn do?"

Re: 7th Sea...is BACK~!!!!
I was going to go with, "There's no way I could have raped her, your Honor. I'm Errol Flynn. All women (including ones too young to give consent) want to sleep with me."
