7th Sea (Alderac Entertainment)

7th Sea © 1998 Alderac Entertainment Group		A recent release that originally saw light as a Collectable Card Game . It`s a mixture of pirates , musketeers and general 17th Century derring-do . The setting is fictional , but don`t let that put you off as it has its roots firmly in European history . The system is simple and the emphasis is on roleplaying rather than rules , which is good . The two initial rules books are the Games Masters Guide & The Players Guide/Core Rules book . Both are currently supplied as hardbacked books with high quality artwork on both the covers and inside . They are truly lovely things to own . As a bonus ,from March 2000 ,if you log onto the alderac web site ( www.alderac.com ) you will be able to download the Companion Rulesbook from it free of charge . The sourcebooks and adventure material are all high quality again , if a bit linear . The Pirate Nations , Screen (Fantastic Artwork) & Montaigne Sourcebook deserve a mention . Rather good all round , and this type of game hasn't been properly available since Lace & Steel or Privateers & Gentlemen. www.alderac.com   www.7thsea.com
