I got this game recommended to me online while looking for a pirate-based TTRPG system, and was looking into the lore of the game. I saw that there were two editions, and have read conflicting thoughts online on how they are viewed in the community. I was also generally wondering what the difference is between the two?

I could have sworn that in one on the two printings of the first edition player's guide there was a few pre-generated characters. Not the three to a page sample characters on pages 168-171, but full one page spread pre-gens.

I remember choosing one of them for my first character, a Vestenmannavnjar pirate, the picture was of a guy swinging on a ship from a rope with a knife in one hand and one between his teeth.

Am I experiencing some sort of Mandela effect or did these pre-gens really exist?

Hi one of my players choose to play a Navajo character but none of the classic backgrounds seems to work for what she wanted to play. I know there is the New World manual but I don't really feel to spend all that money only to get the chance of a fitting background. Should I go with a homebrew one (if so, what should I choose?) or should I find another way to get the New World manual? I don't really like the second choice to be honest, but I really need just the background part of it

I am learning the 1st edition rules to run for our group. I can’t find an answer to the question, and there is some conflicting information.

Non-dracheneisen armor isn’t used because it is heavy and can be pierced by modern Thean weapons, but Eisenfaust requires an armored gauntlet.

It doesn’t seem fair that an Eisen hero would have to buy both the dracheneisen and swordsman school advantages.

It also doesn’t seem realistic that the official Eisen swordsman school would require this special armor that is only available to nobles.

Thank you in advance.

I started following a campaign called Navigavia, it is a setting of some Italian youtubers. In this setting there are described 3 new monstrous qualities, but among the monsters there are some that have two monstrous qualities that I can not find either in the 7th sea manual or in the Navigavia manual. These two monstrous qualities are: Destructive and Colossal. For those who have the manual the Kraken has both qualities. submitted by /u/GreenChicken4349

Hi everyone! I'm looking for 3 to 6 players for an online campaign inspired by the world and tone of One Piece, using the 7th Sea system (with some light homebrew adjustments). We'll be playing on Roll20, and voice chat will be through Discord.

About the Game This is a swashbuckling adventure full of strange islands, larger-than-life powers, ancient secrets, and a lot of heart. While it's heavily inspired by One Piece, no prior knowledge of the series is required—just a desire to dive into an epic world of pirates, marines, wild science, and dreams that change the world.

Important Notes:

I'm not a native English speaker, so I may occasionally fumble words or take a moment to describe things. I ask for your patience and understanding. -I'm not a professional or veteran DM, but I’m here to make sure everyone has fun and feels involved. -You don’t need to be an expert in 7th Sea or tabletop RPGs—if you’re new, I’ll help you learn as we go! -The tone is narrative-focused, with big emotional arcs, cinematic fights, and room for character development.

Interested? If you’re excited about creating a unique pirate (or marine!) and going on a grand adventure, feel free to DM me here on Reddit, or message me on Discord: dinotrax500

Let’s make something unforgettable togethe

Tomorrow for the first time in decades but I'm finally running a 7th Sea game again.

Going to do this old school (except for going to the library to photocopy character sheets, going to print them off). No computers, no distractions.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the game and I desperately need your help for some homebrew crafting, since I couldn't find nothing about special items in-game. I'm running a campaign where monsters represent an actual challenge, so I would like to set a big reward for my players by crafting useful items with their skin, teeth ecc. The fact is that I don't know what could be balanced or broken, so I'm asking for your help. An exemple could be a sea monster with a hard skin which if wore by a PG prevents some damage. Thank you

For the life of me, I cannot find the timeline anywhere. Does anyone have a copy of know where I can find the full one? There used to be a website that listed everything from prehistory to 1672 or so, but I can't locate that either.

Greetings all, I am brand new to 7th Sea, but a veteran TTRPG player. Making a character to play with the Guild of San Marcos at conventions. While looking at the (overwhelming number of) Sword Schools, the following three caught my interest. Which (if any) would be good for only playing a couple times a year at conventions? Which is marginally friendly to new players? Which “comes online” early (in other words, which doesn’t suck as a beginning character)?

Swordsman Schools Ussura Bogatyr

Vendel/Vesten Anders Vodacce Cappuntina

Thanks!

Hello fellow bucklers of swashes. I'm working with my longtime group and getting back into 7th Sea. I've always loved the idea of Riposte but hated how clunky the mechanics are of mentally shifting around ranks. I am good with moving stuff around abstractly in my head but many of my players aren't, so I was wondering if anyone had changed how Riposte behaved.

Idea 1: Make your Parry and Attack, both at -10, and add your ranks in Riposte as a flat bonus to those rolls. Riposte is an extremely powerful ability, so that penalty may need to increase to -15?

Idea 2: Make your Parry and Attack, both at -5, with your ranks in Riposte added back as a flat bonus (thus, 5 ranks means no penalty), but the attack does less damage. A rapier would do 2k1, a knife would do 1k1.

Thanks!

Has anyone noticed that Studio Agate has a new Kickstarter getting ready to launch, promising "A New Journey" for 7th Sea?

I'm guessing this is the big news that Studio Agate and Chaosium keep hinting about. Does anyone have any more info?
