StarMaster:
So anyone know what the difference between 1st Edition and 2nd Edition are? Did they just correct spelling errors, or have they expanded skills, equipment, whatever? Was there ever an expanded Advantages list published?
There's a pretty major difference between first and second editions. It's no longer a roll and keep system, for example, but a roll and keep
everything by making sets of ten. It's a complete overhaul in many ways, and while it will share some of the same mechanics, it's
truly a new edition of the game, not just a bunch of errata. And it's going to be a very expansive system based on the numbers reached (so many pdfs... just so many).
You can find a lot of the information about some of the changes at the Kickstarter in both the updates and comments sections if you're willing to dig, and eventually the core rules (or, rather, a basic version of them) will be made free for everyone forever, so that's awesome.
I also cannot answer that last one, but my gut says "No."
Starmaster:
How about the d20 Swashbuckling Adventures. No one seemed to have mentioned that. I liked it, but then I was already familiar with the d20 system, so it was easier to 'pick up'. I liked some of the details, though.
As far as I know, no one's mentioned it in the context of this conversation because it's not
really 7th Sea, in the same way
Oriental Adventures isn't
really L5R. They're set in the same places (last I checked), but the mechanical differences make them
very different experiences and therefore provide very different looks on the same world.
Or it could be that everyone's just focused on things revolving around the official title "7th Sea" rather than "7th Sea spinoffs" up until this point.
OR it could be opossums. Those
kiwi opossums...
