Still very interested in the game.  I'm willing to give the prospective GM some time to get a game organised.

Re: 7th Seas

To re post the message I sent to the last prospective GM.

Personally with 7th Sea I like the adventure side, discovery and interaction over deep courtly intrigues and complex machinations, even if the back drop is just in a small provincial town or the like. I'm more interested in the human side of things with the creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night more a back drop occasional encounter, or final destination, rather than the full on focus of the game.  Long distance travel I would rather see in montages of scenes rather than a long drawn out slog, more Indiana Jones that Lord of the Rings. :)

 I've had a fair amount of experience with 7th Sea and enjoy it immensely, but have only ever played it and thus stayed away as much as possible from GM's only sections, because I do like surprises.  I'm also of the school of if the rules get in the way of something then the GM should bend them some for dramatic license as long as it isn't a grinding step away from the feeling of the game (A legion of brutes armed with Syrinth Death Rays defending the only block of cheese that will cure the grey death that all the characters contracted the first scene of the game through drinking water, would be an over exaggerated example).

In reply to hegemon (msg # 11):

i have been an active member of rpol for a couple of years and general update regularly.

I do have to agree with Storm Caller, adventure is higher on my list of preferences over complex machinations.  as much as i like the concept of complex machinations and like them running in the back ground, having them be the forefront of the adventure makes me feel lost half the time (and given rpol pace means alot is forgotten over time as well).

Re: 7th Seas

What I told the prospective GM, preference-wise...

My picks...

1. Swashbuckling
2. Exploration
3. Politics/Intrigue
4. Romance

(way WAY down the list)

5. Pirates
6. War

I like having an actual effect on the story and not just being a baggage caddy for the NPCs.

I'm not a fan of either the DK or the Rilasciare.  I don't think either secret society leans towards heroic characters.  Cathay & the Crescent empire have too much power creep for my tastes.

Re: 7th Seas

Tell you guys what...

I'm busy as heck at the moment, but I love me some good 7th Sea. If by the first of the year (and yeah, I know, that's some time off) there's no one starting up a new game, I'll put something together. Sound good?

Just saw this after a few months hiatus from RPOL.
I would love to play in a game if one is in the works; if one isn't, I can ponder a few possibilities for running.

Re: 7th Seas

Right right. Said I'd do this. Let me roll some ideas off y'all, see what folks want to do:

1) A game centered in the Carleon chapter of the Rose and Cross, largely dealing (in the beginning, at least) with the friendly rivalry between the R&C and Elaine's Knights.

2) A game in Freiburg (post the events that happened in Hammer and Tongs) centered around the swordsmans' guildhouse- the PC's should be either duelists or someone else who has good reason to be spending a lot of time at the 'house.

3) An explorer game centered around a newly-found and partially-colonized island (yes, this would be a reboot of a game of mine that died earlier).

4) A court-and-church based politics game centered on Castille. (This is the one I'm least sold-upon, but if everyone wants it, I'll run it.)

What say you all?

Re: 7th Seas

Well I think I would be most interested in number 2 first, then number 3, followed by number 1.  Number 4 is not of massive interest, but would still play if that's the way things went.

Re: 7th Seas

it looks like the replies on this got lost in the 'not bumping' time period, thanks Storm for bumping this back to the top of the list.  Perhaps shifting this of to GP&I.

anyway, I would pretty much be up for anything but I will rank my interests as:

3, 2, 1, and distantly 4.

I find that to much political intrigue gets lost with the pace that pbp moves and I dont have a head for it.

both 2 and 3 I am interested in but now sure if I would make an R&C character (as long as 'outsiders' can be part of the fun we can move that up to tied with #2).

#2 I dont really have anything against, It has a lot of potential

Of all my 7th Seas characters, I can't recall a swordsman!

Re: 7th Seas

Aright. Looks like #2 inches forward mathematically. I'll leave this open for input for another couple of days, then by the end of the weekend I'll make a decision as to what to run!

2 definitely rules, so that's the way I'll go.
Originally I'd planned on getting a game listing up today, but illness and other pesky 'real life' obligations have me a little sidelined. A framework will be up either later tonight or tomorrow.
