HeroGM Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Some friends are discussing doing a 7th Sea game (2nd Edition). Has anyone looked at it? I've flipped through my friend's copy and it seems a bit different from 1st (which we used to play way back when). I've noticed they've changed the continent and opened up the "New World" for players. Any feedback would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just popped it to say you might want to ask the question on the 7th Sea forum (Chaosium) here https://basicroleplaying.org/forum/71-7th-sea/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 Played it a couple years ago at Origins -- wasn't impressed, to be honest. I prefer 1st ed 7th Sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Played it a bit ago. The change in the world could have been interesting, but we never got far into it. The game system changed too much from what it was. I cannot even remember what i hated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Had first ed played it a bit acted at Renn faire with John Wick back in the 90's(I'm in Pirate Nations) I found that the spending on stats for keep dice was the way to go(you want to keep at least 3 dice) I was on the 2nd ed Kickstarter, but have not played 2nd ed Cygnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroGM Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 It's...different....not BAD, per se. Just Different. We played last Weds and I'm wrapping my head around some of the changes that was done, world wise. Rules wise it's not too bad, I'm enjoying myself.

Cancer Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I've played 7th Sea, both 1st and 2nd editions. The differences ... some good, some bad. Bearing in mind that ours is a large group ... When playing 1st edition I tried making a go with a character who was neither in a duelist school nor a mage, and unless your campaign is far more plot-heavy and combat-light than the ones I've seen, such a character ended up as not really worth playing. I haven't decided yet if that's true in 2nd edition also; I have a Glamour mage in one campaign, and a none-of-the-above sailor in the other, and we spend enough time sailing around in hazardous waters and and in ship combat that the sailor is worth having, so far.

Cygnia Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 One of my Origins' GMs talked to Wick in the hotel bar about 2e. Now, our tables are 8-10 each for these games and said GM had questions about running for large groups. It never occurred to John Wick that such a large group would play the game at the same time. He had in his mind 4 at max -- including the GM. Cancer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
