The 7th Sea: Khitai Kickstarter is half-done.

7th Sea: Khitai ticking along reasonably well, in fact. It’s not going to hit the original 7th Sea’s Kickstarter numbers, of course, but then the odds of that monster success being replicated were always going to be low. Mind you, if it was a new edition of Legend of the Five Rings we’d be seeing a completely different situation in place*.

I do have to admit: if I had a spare grand or so I’d be kind of tempted to port in my favorite 7th Sea character. Liam O’Lathlann (not O’Toole). Like my wife’s character, he was a Finnegan boxer; unlike my wife’s character, Liam was convinced that he was some kind of bizarre martial artist / monk / bard multi-class character who could jump off of walls and hit you sixteen times before landing.  Mostly because my dice loved that character, and I got inside my GM’s decision loop early, and often**.

Good times, good times.

The 7th Sea: Khitai Kickstarter is live.

Basically, 7th Sea: Khitai is going to be China for 7th Sea  — and not Legend of the Five Rings, which is off doing its own revival somewhere else, I believe.  That was more Japanese, anyway.  This one looks very wuxia:

Which is good, because I like wuxia.  In other 7th Sea news: the proofs for its The New World supplement are out, and it would appear that they didn’t forget that I pledge drived for the ultimate birthday / anniversary / Christmas present for my wife. I can’t wait to see the picture that will be in the final version.
