A note on Game Time

7th Sea has a particular terminology for dividing up time. From highest to lowest, these divisions are:

  • Story - one complete "adventure", usually over several sessions, but not necessarily so. In this log, each Story has a separate page.
  • Chapter - in-house term. The part of a Story composed of one complete evening's gameplay.
  • Act - the loosest term. A "section" of a Story, roughly defined by being in the same area geographically or about the same goals. Used for keeping track of game time. Mostly, I shall be ignoring this.
  • Scene - a single continuous chunk of gameplay with no skipping ahead, such as a given battle, conversation etc.
  • Round - you know what this is, gamer-dork. A slice of time during which fightin' happens.
