[QUOTE="Alaxk Knight of Galt, post: 5515711, member: 4129"] Bonus Post! Here are some sites and house rules I use when I run 7th Sea [url=http://www.behindthename.com/]Behind the Name: the Meaning, Etymology and History of First Names[/url] - A great site for names. You can sort by nationality and gender [url=http://www.tlucretius.net/7thSea/HouseRules.htm]Aldana Steel: House Rules[/url] - An interesting collection of house rules. My House Rules [LIST] [*]Everybody has an Arcana. A Player who takes a Hubris gets 10 extra points. A player who doesn't take a Hubris gets a Virtue for free. [*]When you earn a drama dice a bonus drama die, you get an XP. You get no bonus XP from unspent drama dice. [*]Pyeryem Sorcerers gain a number of "phantom" Drama Dice each day equal to the lowest of their Brawn or Resolve; these Drama Dice can only be used to activate their Sorcery, and they may not be "stored" from one day to the next. [*]Players may award a drama die by universal acclaim or if they suggest a particularlly vile idea for the GM to use. [*]Fear is a 5+(5*Fear Rating) check (instead of 5* Fear Rating) [*]Active Defenses get a free raise to be in line with the free raise of passive defenses [*]Carring Capacity rules - Each point of brawn allows you to carry [INDENT][*]One Musket [*]Two Pistols [*]Four throwing daggers[/INDENT][*]Dramatis Personae (see the Aldana Steel site) [*]A character can aid another character if they have the Knack being used. One character performs the action rolling his/her Trait+Knack. Each player assisting can roll one unkept die to assist. The character who rolled Trait+Knack decides which dice he/she uses for calculating the check. [*]XP Menu [/LIST] I am playing with a new system called the XP Menu. Basically, you give some bonus XP at the start of the game to charactes who are built with your story in mind. This is a sample XP Menu from a game (players could only earn 7 XP off this chart): I'm still looking for a good rule that makes traits and skills balance out a bit better. If you've got one, I'd love to hear it :D [/QUOTE]
