Just started a campaign of this. It puts other Swashbuckling games to shame.
-
@TheConfessor Mechanics that actually support the genre. Fewer rolls, more narrative control, and magic that works.
-
Kurt is German? :)

I find it interesting that there was no comparison to other swashbuckling rpgs, like 7th Sea.
I would be interested to know what S7S brings to the table that these games do not. I can already do swashbuckling at my table - in fact, its my preffered genre. Does S7S do anything for me that say 7th Sea or Savage Worlds cannot accomplish?
-
Interesting review, Kurt, as usual! Two questions, though: Firstly, is this just a setting book or is the engine included? Secondly, the setting sounds like Sundered Skies - how does it compare? Uh... thirdly, how does the engine compare to other swashbuckling games, like Pirates of the Spanish Main?
-
@spiffnolee You're just saying that because you're a prominent NPC in the book. ;)
-
@azirk83 Thanks!
-
BTW, Kurt -- it's spelled "underkoffler" but is pronounced "throatwobbler mangrove".
;)
(Nah, "UNDERkoffler" is fine.)

Chad is one of the best writers in the business, don't let anybody tell you different.
