[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 1043106, member: 8447"] I rather like the 7th Sea system, but I cannot STAND Theah. The world makes no sense whatsoever and converting it to D20 didn't change matters. With no North Africa, with no New World, with no Spice Islands (or equivalents thereof) there is no reason for a Golden Age of Piracy, as there is nothing new, exotic, and expensive to assualt. Individually each of the countries makes a modicum of sense (but only a modicum); the world does not hang together as an organic whole, however -- the tech and cultural levels range all over the board, from the Long-V-Named-Pseudo-Vikings (8th century) to Montaigne's Court of Louis the Sun King (early 18th century). There is no way that any of the states in Eisen would be viable political or social units and none of them could support the number of troops they proportedly have on call. And I could get into the whole currency-thing, but that's enough for right now ;) The D20 conversion lost the charm of the AEG system, but kept the horror of the world -- sort of a "worst of both worlds" package. Most of the PrCs in SA are a joke -- Morale Officer?? Personally I trust Green Ronin to do a much better job -- [I]Testament[/I] is a fantastic supplement and if they put half the care into S&B it will be a huge hit! [/QUOTE]
