So tonight I finished my second "demo" session.  First time around, two weeks ago, I think I had...7 players.  Tonight I had 9.  All teens, most between the ages of 12 and 15.  We finished after a single action round against the giant crabstrosity guarding the treasure on the L'll du Bete.  Good times but DAMN.  Tracking raises with a big group will melt your brain.

The Good News: the kids LOVE the game.  I don't really know if its the pirate angle or just the change of pace from dungeoncrawling but they are all ready to jump ship and switch to 7th Sea.

So far, I love everything about 7th Sea 2nd Edition, but I'm very confused about the core mechanic as it applies to how often you roll.  Some of the examples in the core rulebook imply that you roll only once for an entire scene, yet some examples seem to imply that you roll each turn.  Let's say for example a group of PC musketeers have just found themselves in a village courtyard surrounded by ne'er-do-wells.
