Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies is a role-playing game published by Evil Hat Productions in 2009. DescriptionSwashbucklers of the 7 Skies is a swashbuckling RPG set in a fantasy world of islands floating in the sky, which offers players the chance to heroically adventure across the heavens.[1]{{rp|425}} Swashbucklers was an homage to the pulp swashbuckling genre, with a full chapter spent on the tropes of the genre.[2]{{rp|265}} Swashbucklers included a fully original setting, of sky pirates in flying ships battling across a world where islands float in the sky.[2]{{rp|265}} The game uses Chad Underkoffler's PDQ system, which shared some characteristics with Fate – such as its use of Fortes (or qualities), which could be freeform occupations, motivations, histories or organizations.[1]{{rp|425}} Although Swashbucklers used PDQ, it was a new variant of the system that Underkoffler called PDQ#; for the first time, Underkoffler dramatically revamped his house mechanics, as PDQ# gave characters foibles and techniques and changed conflict into a more tactical system.[2]{{rp|265}} Because of the specific needs of the setting, Swashbucklers also had a well-received ship combat system.[2]{{rp|265}} Publication historyChad Underkoffler had been working on a game about sky pirates as his first independent RPG for Atomic Sock Monkey Press, but put the game aside to develop Dead Inside (2004) instead.[2]{{rp|261}} As a result of a business arrangement between Atomic Sock Monkey and Evil Hat Productions, Underkoffler was finally able to publish his game as Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies in 2009.[2]{{rp|265}} The joint arrangement to produce the game went smoothly, although there was a disagreement over the size; Evil Hat's Fred Hicks was ultimately able to convince Underkoffler to go with a 7" x 10" format, which was a little smaller than a traditional RPG.[2]{{rp|265}} ReceptionShannon Appelcline, in his 2011 book Designers & Dragons, noted that this was a more traditional RPG for Evil Hat, and commented: "Whereas The Zorcerer of Zo had received some criticism for its rough development of superb ideas, Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies was a more polished game, showing the benefits of indie designers working together in a larger design house."[1]{{rp|425}} After its publication, Swashbucklers received a Silver ENnie,[3] and was runner-up for the Indie Game of the Year.[2]{{rp|265}} References1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons|publisher=Mongoose Publishing|year=2011| isbn= 978-1-907702-58-7}} {{rpg-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons: The '00s|publisher=Evil Hat Productions|year=2014| isbn=978-1-61317-087-8}} 3. ^http://www.ennie-awards.com/blog/about-us/2009-noms-and-winners/ 5 : Evil Hat Productions games|Fantasy role-playing games|Indie role-playing games|Role-playing games introduced in 2009|Swashbuckler role-playing games |
