Here are a few more sites that relate to background and colour in our game:
7th Sea Sites
(See also the Webrings on the front page for more
sites.)
In Avalonian:
- Used to be AEG's official 7th Sea site – Can you believe they are no longer using it, since they switched to "Swashbuckling Adventures"??? The domain name is on sale for $20,000. Dicebags.
- Revenant's 7th Sea Site – for a long time (in Web terms) the most comprehensive and stable 7th Sea page on the 'Net, this was the quasi-official fan site. It disappeared in the spring of 2004, but here is the most recent snapshot (June 2003) from the Wayback Machine.
- Temple
of the Rose + Cross – another quasi-official page, the last survivor
of the Society pages. Full of information and nicely laid out. (New location!)
- The Brilliant Victory
– a lot of 7th Sea news and tidbits, although much of it is for the card
game.
- The Jon's
7th Sea Ideas – lots of interesting ideas to customize 7th Sea a bit "out
of the box."
- The Times
of the Charbourg Marines – another campaign site, which seems to have
better cohesion and coherence that average.
- Borstenn's
7th Sea Site – a campaign page with a comprehensive chronicle
- Ian's
Eclectic 7th Sea Site – interesting house rules and clarifications
- Crystal Keep - 7th Sea
RPG – useful summaries in PDF format
- HMS Emerald Dragon
– a lot of interesting tidbits in this interesting and attractive campaign
site, with the best written 7th Sea chronicle I have found to date.
- Uncommon Valor
– one of the oldest and most stable 7th Sea campaign pages, with lots of
material contributed by the players (chronicle, songs, etc.)
- Fiddler's Green - 7th Sea Resources – Formerly called the Amaranth page, pretty and with original articles and excellent links.
- Eternal Legend of the 7th Sea – Anime 7th Sea. Yep.
- Kestrel's 7th Sea – Master Index, noble titles, characters, and links.
- Old Ways Strange Ways – page for an Australian group
- Psyberwolfe's Page – brand new page, in development, with the chronicles for three 7th Sea campaigns some friends are running in Austin, Texas: Tales of the Red Avenger, Los Casablanqueños, and Die Männer Auf Schwarz
- The Lady's Chosen – a site dedicated to Sophia's Daughters
- Stephen McIlvenna's Swashbuckling Adventures – It's a d20 campaign site, but maybe Stephen and his fellow players will see the light and leave the Dark Side. ^_^ The site is quite pretty and well designed.
- The Gate: 7th Sea – includes a character generator in Excel format, and up-to-date
In Montaginois:
- S7M - Les
Secrets de la 7eme mer – the official site of the French publishing house
- 7ème Mer - Le Cardinal – contains a character generator utility (both in French and in English); unfortunately, the site hasn't been updated since June 2000.
- Elfe Noir - 7th Sea
– a very pretty resource site, unfortunately infrequently updated.
- Encyclopédie Pittoresque
de Théah – has maps, rules, characters, and scenarios
- + Captain Boone's fellows
+ – lots of Flash animations and javascript features that make it eye-catching
- Cenotaphe.net – large
number of scanned pictures
- Théah Prime
– a reliable campaign site, still active. Offers several scenarios, a detailed description of Insel, a new secret society, and "historical fiction" explaining certain past events.
- Songes de Lames - GN les
Secrets de la Septième Mer – site for a live-action 7th Sea game
- Le Trésor du Pirate – Another campaign site
- S7M Amelian – Another Theah, with some additional nations.
- Les Grouillots – with a really neat character generator
- Le Journal du Pirate – Another campaign site
- Jeu D'Rôle - 7th Sea – Fairly recent, and pretty enough
- Les Secrets de la Septième Mer – sur le Site Web de Stéphane Marcilloux
- Le Capharnaüm de Grolf
In Castillan:
In Eisenländer:
In... an Ussuran Dialect? (Hungarian)
- 7 Tenger – nice looking, still being updated as of March 2004. Seems to be mostly for the CCG.

7th Sea Mailing Lists
On Yahoo! Groups
Other Forums
Official AEG Lists
I am happy to note that since their server transition at the end of February 2003, AEG no longer stamps every post with the mention "Contents Copyright (C) 1998-2002 by ALDERAC
ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC." In the past, well-intended posters cited
some material that was original to our site, and it was branded with AEG's
claim to a copyright. Edmund and I don't wish to challenge anything that is legitimately AEG's,
namely, the material they publish in paper or on their Web site, but we do
maintain a copyright claim to everything we write and post,
be it on our own site (as was this original material), or in e-mail.

Miniatures
In addition to AEG's own 7th Sea minis, check out the following:
- Pirates!
by Flagship Games:
Another game about pirates, a miniatures combat system this time. We're
thinking of switching to that system for the ship-to-ship combat because,
frankly, the 7th Sea system is great for role-playing but sucks for
ships and boarding actions. They also sell the ship models.
- Foundry Miniatures has
wonderful Cutthroats, and their Eldorado Adventurers line is also very nice,
if a tad early for 7th Sea. Their Cossacks will do fine for Ussuran
characters.
- Redoubt Enterprises
also sells attractive pirate miniatures, and has a neat Three Musketeers
line, as well as an English Civil War line that works well for 7th Sea.
Click on the "Main" button, then look at the Gallery.
- Old Glory/Merrimack Miniatures has some 15 mm (1/135) and 25 mm (1/80) scale ships that look good, and would work with Pirates! rules. They also recently started casting figures for the game "Savage World 50 Fathoms", some of which might work as pirates.
- Langton Miniatures
offers a wide choice of naval models, in the 1/300 (1 = 25') and 1/1200 (1'
= 100') scales
- Mirliton Home Page has nice medieval minis that might fit in certain circumstances.
- Amazon Miniatures has
some 25 mm Renaissance, English Civil War, and Seven Year War minis.
Not great, but OK.
- Warrior Miniatures
has 25 mm English Civil War, Landsknechts, and Jacobites that work.
