Just a slight point of order - the Flair mechanic and gaining a bonus dice for using a skill for the first time in a Risk are the same thing.

Also, when determining your raises could you all please note if you have any or no dice left over? This is important for me as the GM buying any spares (if I do you get an additional Hero Point and I get a point for the Danger Pool) and there are ways to work out raises to either maximize the amount of left over dice or to minimize them if you aren't wanting to risk having any bought from you

For example, Andrezi's last check rolled 4, 3, 4, 6, 10, 8 - that makes 3 raises in a couple of different ways either 10, 8+3, and 6+4 leaving 1 dice remaining to be bought or 10, 8+6, and 4+4+3 leaving no dice to be bought.

For now I will assume you are making your dice pools up in a way to leave the least left over dice as possible unless you specify otherwise on your rolls.

I get an additional HP from Valiant Spirit since we're starting a session. I'm also curious how mechanics off sessions will work. Once monthly or something?

I’ve amended the HP thread accordingly mate, thanks for the heads up. I’m not sure at the moment, this first ‘session’ is following a pre written adventure which is pretty short and would probably only last a session to run it IRL - seemed like a good way for me to get my head around the rules and also so we can see how 7th Sea performs on a PbP platform. Assuming things go well and you all want to keep playing (and I want to keep running it using the 2nd edition rules set) then we can define things like that a bit more clearly.

Just to give everyone a heads up SaucyWaffle is showing as inactive on the forums for 13 days now - I’m thinking to give it another day or so and if they don’t make their presence known then I’ll probably look to see if anyone else is interested is the slot.

One other thing is I recently picked up the ‘Bloody Misadventures’ supplement off of the Explorers Society as I’ve heard it adds a lot more depth onto naval combat so assuming it all looks good then I’ll probably try incorporating the rules from that into any future naval engagements.

I’ve sent messages to both SaucyWaffle and Qralloq, if they don’t respond by tomorrow I’ll move things along

Qralloq should be around. I've seen him in other games.

I'm here. Still missed a key post, I guess, thought you were still waiting for saucywaffle.

Sorry, I’ll try to be clearer in future - I was initially waiting but then I had intended just to move forward and for them to jump in whenever but I can see where the confusion came from on that one. Usual teething issues with a new game (especially when I’m trying to not run it at too brisk a pace!)

I’ve not heard anything from SaucyWaffle and they’re still showing as inactive on the site so I’ve kicked them from the game and we’ll move on without them.

Heh, inactivity is the worst. No way to tell if it's IRL issues or permanent walkabout.

FWIW: I'm considering my post and hope to have it up in the next few hours.

Hi peeps, just wanted to let you know I've not forgotten about this game. I've been wanting to do a bit of reading on one of the naval combat supplements the Explorers Society for the next bit but I've been a bit swamped with work and other life stuff so I've not had chance. I'll try and get things moving again with the rules in the core book in the next day or two. Sorry again for the holdup!

*thumbs up* Just a heads up I'll be at Gen Con starting next Wednesday till that Sunday following.

Gen Con, eh? Lucky bastard.

I'll likely won't be posting until next Monday. Operation Gen Con starts in 20 hours.

About that inactivity... We picking this game up again? ;)

Yes, yes we will! Now in fact!!!!!

Sorry again for the delay peeps, will hopefully not be a regular occurence

A heads up; I'm switching jobs next month, and I'll probably become a bit less active on the forums for a while. I'll be pulling back from some games, but I'm hoping to keep on top of this one, at least through this adventure.

Just letting you know in advance, in case I start getting flaky in October.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm hoping to have this adventure wrapped up by the end of this month so it should all be good.

Just to let everyone know I'm having a few internet issues at home at the moment (damn thing keeps dropping out, have reported it and waiting on a new router which should be some time this week) and I'll be going on holiday at the end of the week so my ability to regularly post will be a tad cut down for the next couple of weeks
