I have this really big desire to convert two of my favorite RPG settings into the FATE system (as manifested in it’s most recent edition in Spirit of the Century). I want to do a SotC version of the Eberron setting and I also want to try a hybrid of SotC and 7th Sea.
The Sons of Kryos‘ play group is already doing a SotC/Eberron arc called “Spirit of Sharn” that you can follow along with on their AP thread at rpg.net. That has me excited about the Eberron side of my personal itch, but in the last couple of days I’ve REALLY started pining for some pulp/swashbuckling/pirates/musketeers/dark conspiracy roleplay. So I think I might try to focus on making that work first, before I try to do it with Eberron. Of course I suppose it also depends on what the other Rolemonkeys are interested in. And besides, I promised them a resolution to their Vegas After Midnight arc, so I need to work on delivering that, probably the next time it’s my turn to run a game.
Anyway, I am meandering. The real reason I started this post was to express my desire to do a 7th Sea/17th-Century version of SotC, and to kick myself in the head for the really stupid act of getting rid of most of my original 7th Sea sourcebooks. I have several of the D20 Swashbuckling Adventures titles, but I really wish I still had my Avalon and Vendel/Vesten books, and I definitely regret not keeping my Daughters of Sophia and a couple of the other secret society books I had. The fact is, I can still do pretty much everything I want to with what I’ve got, so it isn’t so much that not having the books keeps me from doing the game, it’s that I was just plain dumb to get rid of them because 7th Sea is a damn fine game and I should have kept them in my collection.
Anyway, I’m still excited about doing this project, and I’ll keep you posted on its progress.
