By Carl "CatLord" Rosa II, 28 March 2018 Back in November, a review was done for British vs Pirates. It scored well, with room for improvement. As of this posting, the Kickstarter is coming to a close, but let's take a look at everything being introduced in this edition. Reviewer’s Note: It should be noted that... Continue Reading →
A few months back, I was talking to a few friends about a hairbrained idea I had for a Fate hack that would take the off-the-wall nature of "It's Not My Fault" and add another totally off-the-rails element to it. Namely, players would literally build a sci-fantasy universe as they create their characters (Mutant Gallifreyan... Continue Reading →
Like many tabletop gamers, the film version of The Princess Bride holds a special place in the gaming table of my heart. “Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...” What’s not to love?

While the meat of the action of 7th Sea has traditionally taken place in mainland Théah and the open seas, the second edition offered the promise of fleshing out the rest of Terra (Earth), beginning with the Crescent Empire. In the first edition, we only saw information for the Crescent Empire in one book before... Continue Reading →
One of the biggest perks for backing the 7th Sea 2nd Edition Kickstarter at the Pirate level was all of the extras that were included in addition to the leatherbound rulebook, namely in the form of the "Pirate Booty", including poster-sized maps, GM screen, dice, tokens, a Sorte/tarot deck, and the two decks for the...
