Buckling a Swash or Two
January 10, 2008
For the next five weeks, I will be GMing a beta playtest of the exciting Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies by Atomic Sock Monkey Press for the CP crew.
I’m still working my way through the text (which is a whopping 311 pages), but there are gobs of interesting bits. I keep finding tidbits that make me say hmn and oh and make mental notes. With such a thick text, I believe once I have PCs to build stories around and with, the text will be even more valuable.
Speaking of PCs, we haven’t started character generation, but after finishing the After Serenity game, we discussed how the PCs will be a party. I listed out the party suggestions straight from the S7S book and the players were interested in all being together for revenge. Perrin said he wants to play a priest who is after the villain because of something that happened to a member of his flock. I’m not sure where Norwood and Josh (of Something Wild) are with their PC concepts.
We’ll hash out PCs and get some details on this villain during the next game session. I’m prepping an intro that should work pretty well regardless of the details, something somewhat generic swashbuckling that I can throw at them, and then flesh things out on the fly.
