Adam,

Well, needless to say I would rather have been around with you guys last night than waiting at NEMS on Derby Road.

New campaign.

This sounds like the one you ran at the Big Meet a couple of years ago indeed. Although a Pathfinder aficionado I found 7th Seas refreshing. Sadly I shall not be around to play it.

I intend the adventures to be about brains rather than brawn, to involve people playing interesting characters, talking in character, and generally bringing things to life. I want the game to have a cinematic feel to it, and to be about the drama, not the dice.

Damn! I had in mind a min-maxed idiotic Half-Orc sewer-worker obsessed with things-that-go-boom. cry

No, seriously the plot seems interesting, however I hope that for the sake of realism the game world in indeed actually flat as per the Vaticine understanding. All those spherical worlds: Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Golarion are just silly in their assumptions. smile

Calendar and other things.

You are right in trying to attract new players. Our group did not solidify until one third of the way into the Rise of the Runelords campaign and as experience has always shown, you should aim for "ideal number of players" + 1 as a rule of thumb.

Make sure you post your game on the calendar and use alternatively "7th seas", "Seventh Seas" and other keywords linked to the game systems. Although slightly obscure compared to Pathfinder and D&D, the system could still be looked at by potential players using Bing/Google.

I have taken the liberty to add the reference to Vague Connections, Nottingham in the thread subject header.

Hopefully seeing the gang for one last time next week for Legacy of Fire.

Laurent,
