WELCOME
In cities and ports across the ancient world,
stories are told and retold of great heroes
setting sail, and travelling to the ends of the
Earth, to find and fulfil their destiny. Watched
over by Gods and spirits, whether for good
or ill, these adventurous souls risk all, taking
fate into their own hands.
Teeming with all walks of life, from princes and
paupers, holy men and sorcerers, to merchants selling
exotic goods from east and west, the great ports are
gateways to adventure for anyone brave enough to step
aboard a ship. In these cultural melting pots, stories are
traded as readily as the finest wines, and the ones that
have aged the best often hail from Arabia and Greece.
Overseen by powerful and, at times, capricious Gods,
the heroes and heroines of Greece have seen their
fair share of both triumph and tragedy. Often tasked
with the seemingly impossible, the retrieval of a fabled
gift, such as the Golden Fleece, or the slaying of some
titan, such as Medusa, these fated heroes battle to
succeed, aided by or in spite of the Gods efforts.
In contrast, the stories of the One Thousand and
One Nights tell of the avarice and cruelty of tyrants,
sorcerers and spirits, and the courage, purity and
sacrifice of those who would oppose them. They tell of
heroes, such as Sinbad, earning fortunes through wit
and courageous endeavour, and villains finding their
downfall via greed and unholy bargains.
Within these stories, all manner of legendary beings
and mythical monsters roam. From cyclopean giants
who waylaid Sinbad and Odysseus, to the Minotaur
that stalked Theseus in the Labyrinth, or the Djinn who
aided Aladdin, these creatures are real to the sailors
that trade these tales.
This is a world of myth and legend, the world of
7th Voyage.
ROUGH DIAMOND STUDIOS

AND BARRON PRODUCTIONS
Founded by director Ron Carpenter and special
effects genius William Henry Harrison, Rough
Diamond Studios created some of the finest actionadventure films and stop motion effects of the 60s
and 70s. Together they brought the myths and
legends they adored as children to life for generations
of their fans.
Representing the first foray into Hollywood by Sidney
Barron, the mogul behind the UK based 7TV Studios,
Barron Productions provided the financial backing
for Rough Diamond. Although eight movies were
produced in fourteen years, under the surface creative
tensions and financial pressures eventually tore the
endeavour apart, but not before Barron choose to take
his revenge publicly.
In the pages that follow, movie listings, quotes and
scripts from their filmic voyage are presented for your
viewing pleasure.

Theseus must defeat the Minotaur, a

hideous half-man, half-bull, if he is to end
the sacrifice of his people to the monster
by the tyrannical King Minos. Aided by
Ariadne, the Kings daughter, he and his
companions must negotiate the Labyrinth of
Daedalus and trap the Minotaur before they,
the hunters, become the hunted (1961).

WHAT IS 7TH VOYAGE? | 5
what is 7th voyage?

7th Voyage brings the world of stop motion
movies and action-adventure programmes to
life as a tabletop miniatures game.
Based upon the myths of Ancient Greece, and
the fables and stories of the Arabian Nights, you
take command of the heroes or villains of legend.
Whether you want to quest for the Golden Fleece or
raid the nests of the fabled Rocs, 7th Voyage enables
you to play out your favourite on-screen action as the
story unfolds.
what is the action:engine?
The action:engine uses models, six-sided dice, tape

measures, tokens and a turn-based rules system to
simulate the action sequences you might find in film
and television. Models have a numerical profile, plus
added special abilities, allowing all kinds of actions to
be attempted.
One of the most significant features of the
action:engine is the ability to customise models from
a variety of archetypes and build different casts to fit
almost any genre.
What awaits on the

Forbidden Isle?
What is different in 7th Voyage?

If youve played the 7TV tabletop miniatures
game, then youll be familiar with the core of the
action:engine already. These rules use those same
mechanics, but they differ in some areas to better
reflect the setting of 7th Voyage.
Greater emphasis has been placed on melee rather

than ranged combat, a magic system has been
included, and some rules have been altered or
omitted to capture the spirit of stop motion movies and
action-adventure programmes.
In addition, it should be noted that the action:engine
itself is an evolving system. As such, these rules have
been written to be stand-alone, but there is nothing
stopping you incorporating elements from other
action:engine rule and sourcebooks as you see fit.
6 | WHAT IS 7TH VOYAGE?
On the Seventh Sea

by GIBSON MATTHEWS, Cult Zone Magazine, May 1992
No Sunday afternoon seems complete without a family action-fantasy movie.

Thoughts of a return to the classroom were banished for a couple of hours on the
sofa, as legendary heroes clashed with stop motion monsters thanks to larger-thanlife producer Sidney Barron and his collaboration with Rough Diamond Studios.
idney Barrons first taste

of Hollywood came through
his collaboration with Ron
Carpenter, his stepson from his first
marriage, to the American actress
Claudia Carpenter, better known as
Claudia Cadence. Although their
marriage was fleeting, with the
venomous lovebirds flying their
separate ways within two years,
Barron's relationship with Ron
Carpenter lasted longer, but was
destined to be far bitterer in the end.
A creative mind, Carpenter had
grown up on film sets as part of
his mothers entourage, and was
heavily influenced by the world
around him. At the age of fifteen,
he wrote and directed his first
short film, a tale inspired by the
One Thousand and One Nights
and entitled The Hand of Destiny,
which used sets and props from his
mothers latest movie, Mata Hari.
However, it was not until university,
where he formed a lifelong
friendship with his film partner,
William Henry Harrison, that his
star truly began to rise.
Harrison was a gifted model maker

and animator, particularly interested
in making stop motion films, and
as equally obsessed with myths
and legends as Carpenter. Together
they went on to produce a series of
student films, exploring the themes
that so delighted them, combining
stop motion monsters and special
effects with footage of actors
from the campus society. These
short films focused on American
and European folklore, in which
all manner of goblins, spirits and
sprites would come to life.
After university, the pairs first
professional break came in 1957.
Working as second unit director,
Carpenter worked with Harrison
developing all of the magical
sequences in the epic The Rogue
of Baghdad, including the living
shadow and walking tree fights. A
critical and commercial triumph,
the film earned them much praise
and was followed by their equally
acclaimed second unit work on
The Odyssey.

Harrison at work

In the wake of their success,

they set up their own production
company, Rough Diamond
Studios, and embarked on their
first feature. It was at this point
that Carpenter approached Barron
for finance. Although triumphs,
many in Hollywood saw the films
as passing fads and, with the nature
of the animation process, time
consuming ones to produce at that.
True to form, Sidney Barron had
problems with only one of those
issues. It all hinged on whether the
films could be made cheaply and
quickly enough to capitalise on and
sustain the current interest.
Over the next fourteen years,
Rough Diamond Studios and the
newly formed Barron Productions
worked at a frenetic pace. Eight
movies were produced, a testament
to the passion of Carpenter and
Harrison, and the tenacity of
Sidney Barron.
Their first endeavour, Minotaur!,
built on the success of The
Odyssey, with Carpenter and
WHAT IS 7TH VOYAGE? | 7
Harrison squeezing every cent out

of their humble budget to make
a big screen epic, which stood
horns, head and shoulders above
the B movie creature flicks of the
previous two decades.
Three more epics inspired by
Greek myth followed, The
Golden Fleece, Herakles!, and the
terrifying Gorgon!, but it was the
duos love of Arabian stories that
earned them their first box office
smash and award nominations.
Sinbad and the Forbidden Isle,
starring Doug Maclure as the
roguish sailor, captivated audiences
from the outset with its exotic
locations and creatures.
After the success of Forbidden
Isle, Sinbad became a reoccurring
theme of the later films and with
the introduction of Jean Collins,
as Scheherazade in Sinbad and
the Eye of the Idol, an on-screen
romance between The Sailor and
The Storyteller became threaded
throughout their subsequent voyages.
Romance or not, it was the
monsters, Harrisons wondrous
creations, that delighted the fans
most, as they flocked to the release
of each new epic. Medusa, the
Minotaur, Pegasus and the Roc,
these were always the true stars of
this golden period.
In stark contrast however, under the
surface, things had become far from
happy or harmonious. Spiralling
costs and overrunning schedules, in
no small part due to Carpenter and
Harrisons insistence on perfection,
were eating into the Barrons slim
profits. Coupled with diminishing
box office figures, as 70s audiences
flocked to see the glut of horror
films swamping the market, the
golden formula of the duo was
starting to lose its lustre.
Refusing to pander to Barrons cost
cutting demands, the companies
went their separate ways in 1975,

with Sinbad and the Sleeping

Army, their fourth Sinbad film,
being their final collaboration. The
split, far from amicable, proved the
end for Rough Diamond.
Even with audience numbers
declining, the duo decided that
one last outing, one that would be
a fitting end to the epic love story
they had charted for Sinbad and
Scheherazade, was both appropriate
and feasible. Scraping together the
finance, they began work on The
Last Voyage of Sinbad.
Two weeks before their
masterpiece was scheduled to be
released, Sinbads Lost Voyage, a
Barron Productions presentation,
opened across the States.
Using stop motion footage lifted
directly from the previous films
and technically owned by Barrons
company, it shamelessly sought
to recreate the magic without
Carpenter and Harrison at the helm.
Tom Dalton was cast in the role of
Sinbad, and was poorly inserted
into battle scenes with Harrisons
iconic creatures. The film even
opened with the trademark framing
story, with Scheherazade played by
Sara Douglas, who bore a passing
resemblance to Jean Collins.
Ruthlessly marketed, in a whirlwind
promotional tour, Lost Voyage
topped the box office on its opening

weekend, despite the universally
poor reviews from critics.
But as word of mouth spread among
the fans, attendance plummeted and
within a week the film was gone.
In the shadow cast by its passing,
The Last Voyage of Sinbad fared
little better, and was pulled from
many theatres before its scheduled
release. In the end it received only
a limited run and the numbers were
poor. Barron had had the last word.
Carpenter and Harrison continued
to work together, bringing their
creativity, experience and design
skills to a number of smaller, low
budget movies and programmes,
and the development of later
animation and film techniques. As
for telling their own stories, the
tide never proved quite right for
them again, but the influence of
their films is still felt today.
Barron, having comprehensively
scuttled the pair, now turned his
full attention to the growing horror
market and supporting a new
production company headed by
his son. From the ashes of Barron
Productions rose Barron Pictures,
spearheaded by the shambling
undead.
8 | THE RULES
the rules
All of the basic mechanics of 7th Voyage are
explained in this chapter, including profiles,
movement, actions, combat and morale.
common terms
As a set of rules based on movies and TV programmes,

7th Voyage renames several commonly used game
terms to better reflect the setting, for example:
l The models that compose your side are called a cast.
l Your cast is made up of Stars, Co-Stars, Guest
Stars and Extras.

l Special abilities they may possess are defined as
special effects.
l Some models have their own abilities, defined as
either star qualities or unique effects.

l The value of models and your cast are expressed
in ratings.
l And finally, the game scenarios you play are
called scenes.
Basic principals
Its a Game
First and foremost 7th Voyage is intended to be a

game that is enjoyable for all involved. The rules
that follow are guidelines to enable balanced and
fair play, but should not be adhered to strictly at the
expense of having fun. If a situation arises where
you feel something should be possible or it will add
to the drama of a scene, you should use your own
judgement to resolve it fairly for everyone playing. This
could be as simple as making a statistic or opposed
test to resolve an action, to developing your own
house rules to cover the unfolding drama.
Dice Modifiers
All dice modifiers, whether bonuses or penalties,

are applied to the result of the die rolled and not the
statistics governing them, i.e. a +1 to hit bonus or 1
penalty to a Morale test is applied to the result of the
dice. All such modifiers are cumulative, with bonuses
reducing penalties and vice versa. However, a die roll of
1 will always fail, regardless of any modifiers, including
Audience Appreciation tokens and Event cards.
Statistic Modifiers
3.20 Film
starring Salvatore Mineo & Kim Novack

With her father magically enslaved by the
Vizier, the Caliphs Daughter finds herself
fleeing from the palace guards and seeking
refuge on the streets. There she meets an
unlikely hero, an urchin and honourable thief,
and together they embark on a journey to stop
the Vizier from rewriting history (1957).

The Djinn ................................... TOR JONSON
The Caliph ....................... CHARLES LAWTON
The Shadow Prince .............. VINCENT PRYCE
The Apothecary .................. JOSEPH SWEENIE
Producer Terrence Marter
Director William Powell
All Statistic Modifiers, whether they raise or lower the

value, are applied to the statistic itself, i.e. a model
that must count their Def as 1 less to a minimum of 1,
would go from Def 3 to Def 2. All such modifiers are
cumulative, but a model can never raise a stat above
10 or lower it to less than 1. Statistic values of 0 are
special and can never be raised or lowered under any
circumstances.
Re-rolls
A dice can be re-rolled only once. No matter how

many sources or special effects may provide a re-roll,
a dice can only benefit from one of them. When two
or more dice are rolled and the best result is chosen,
only one of the dice can be re-rolled.
Line of Sight
To charge, shoot or target another model with a

special effect or Spell, the model performing the
action must be able to see part of the model or
models theyre targeting. For the purposes of line of
sight, a model is assumed to be able to see in a 360
arc for charging, using special effects and Spells, but
may only shoot at models in their front 180 arc.
THE RULES | 9
Profiles Explained
There are a wide variety of models in the game, each
with different strengths and weaknesses. Youd expect
a Greek warrior to handle differently to a winged
Harpy, and the rules are designed to reflect this. Each
model has a profile, a set of statistics that lets you
see how fast, strong or intelligent they are, as well as
what special effects, star qualities or unique effects,
or weapons they may have. Each statistic can range
from 0 (not applicable) or 1 (barely capable) up to 10
(godlike). The statistics used in 7th Voyage are:
Movement (Move)
A model can move this distance in inches each time

they take a move action. A model with a Move of 0
cannot move at all. There is no maximum Move value.
Defence (Def)
The higher a models Def the less likely they are to

come to harm. Factors determining Def include armour
worn, natural toughness, thick skin or hide. Models
with a Def of 0 cannot be harmed by physical attacks
because of their invulnerability or lack of substance.
Hits
A model can take a number of wounds equal to their

Hits before they are removed from play. There is no
maximum Hits value, but most models have between
1 and 3 Hits.
Strength (Str)
Str is used in melee or when performing other feats of

brute force. Models with a Str of 0 are non-corporeal
and cannot interact with the physical world.
Agility (Agi)
Agi represents both bodily manoeuvrability and

manual dexterity. High Agi allows a model to avoid
falls and other perilous situations where less agile
models would suffer.
Intelligence (Int)
Int represents both knowledge and wisdom, and is

key to performing Spells. Models with an Int of 0 are
considered to be mindless and cant perform Spells.
Morale
Morale indicates either bravery or sheer recklessness.

High Morale allows a model to keep fighting against the
odds or stand firm in the face of fearsome monsters.
Special Effects, Star Qualities

& Unique Effects
Any special abilities or rules the model might use are

listed here. Most models in 7th Voyage use special
effects, but some Stars, Co-Stars, Guest Stars and
Monsters may have their own star qualities or unique
effects.
Attacks
This section lists any weapons, both melee and

ranged, that the model might possess. A gauge
of their prowess, a model's to Hit value is always
associated with their skill in a weapon or attack,
and not the weapon or attack itself, which will vary
between models.
10 | THE RULES
Minotaur!
INT. LABYRINTH CORRIDOR - NIGHT
Theseus, torch held high, moves through the dim candlelit
corridors of the Labyrinth, his light casting eerie shadows on
the rough stone and root entangled walls.
Carefully unwinding the ball of thread behind him, he pauses
briefly to pay his respects - skeletal remains, wearing Athenian
dress, lie huddled in a crack in the wall.
INT. LABYRINTH ENTRANCE - NIGHT
A cup rolls from the fingers of a Guard, slumped against the
great stone doorpost of the entrance.
Both Guards have been drugged, and the great stone door stands
unbarred and slightly ajar.
A great bell begins to ring out, shattering the silence, and
the far off shouts and cries of angry men can be heard.
INT. LABYRINTH JUNCTION - NIGHT
Reaching a left-hand junction, Theseus holds the torch out. A
slight wind is coming from this new corridor.
THESEUS
Always forwards, never left or right.
He presses on, ignoring the left-hand path.
INT. LABYRINTH CORRIDOR - NIGHT
POV. In the dim light from the candles of the wall sconces, a
looming shadow moves.
It falls across the thread. Appears to be following it.
Within the crack, the dead Athenian's vacant eye sockets watch
the shadow pass with a skeletal smile.
THE RULES | 11
Game turn
Action Phase
A game of 7th Voyage comprises of a number of

turns, and each turn is made up of four phases:

1. Determine Initiative & Audience Appreciation

2. First Players Action Phase
3. Second Players Action Phase
4. End Phase
Initiative
Both players roll 1D6 and whoever rolls the highest

becomes the first player. On a tie the person who was
the second player last turn becomes the first player
this turn. If you tie for the first turn, roll again.
Audience Appreciation
7th Voyage audiences enjoy moments

of high drama and action, filled with
incredible adventure and improbable
deeds, and Audience Appreciation
reflects this in game.
AUDIENCE
APPRECIATION
Determine the difference between the

two Initiative rolls. The first player is given a number
of Audience Appreciation tokens equal to half this
amount, rounding up, and the second player gains the
remainder. AA tokens can be used to do the following:
l 1 token can be spent to add a +1 bonus to a die
roll, even after the die is rolled.

l 2 tokens can be spent to purchase an additional
Activation token, see Action Phase below.

Audience Appreciation tokens can only be used on
a players own rolls, but more than one token can be
used to make a greater adjustment to the same roll.
Any AA tokens not used in the same turn in which
they are gained are lost.
At the start of their Action Phase, a

player gains a number of Activation
tokens equal to half of the total
number of models they have in play,
rounding up, plus any purchased
ACTIVATED
with Audience Appreciation. Do not
count models that are suffering from
any type of status towards determining this total.
Place a token next to each model you wish to activate
this turn. Once you have placed all of the tokens you
want to use, you may begin activating models. One at a
time, choose a model, activate it and remove its token.
Activation
Each model gets to make up to two actions when

activated. The available actions are:
l
l
l
l
Movement up to the models Move value

Shoot with a ranged weapon
Aim prior to shooting a ranged weapon
Make a melee attack if in base contact with an
enemy
l Perform a special action
Models can make multiple move, melee attack or
special actions in the same turn, but cannot shoot or
aim more than once in a turn.
Free Actions
In addition to the normal limit of two actions, all

models may make any number of free actions during
their activation or the turn. Free actions represent
quick or opportune activities, effects and situations
such as going prone, escaping capture, or making a
wish for example.
The End Phase
In the End Phase, the first player and then the second
player should:
l Remove from play all of their models that have no
Hits remaining.
l Check to see if their cast is Shaken or Wiped Out,
see page 17.

l Attempt to remove any statuses that models in
their cast are suffering from, see page 18.

l Discard any unused Audience Appreciation tokens.
"there he found a diamond as big as an elephant

i admit, he often embellished the tale
but it was bigger than your fist."
Haroun, Son of Sinbad
12 | THE RULES
Movement
For each action spent on movement, a model may
move up to its Move value in inches. Models can turn
in any direction during this movement, changing the
direction in which they face as many times as they
like, but their final facing is important for the purposes
of shooting and melee. Models can move through
friendly models, but cannot move through the bases
of enemy models.
Models moving through or out of rough ground, such
as in woods, across a sand dune or in shallow water,
can only move 1D6 per move action.
Models moving over an obstacle less than 1 high,
such as a wall, can only move 1D6 per move action.
Place the model past the intervening obstacle if the
die roll allows sufficient movement to reach the other
side. Otherwise, place the model up to the distance
rolled, but no farther than the nearest edge or part of
the obstacle.
Models jumping over a gap, such as the space
between buildings or over a chasm, can only jump
1D6 per move action. Place the model on the other
side if the die roll allows sufficient movement to
cross the gap. Otherwise, move the model up to the
distance rolled, if this would take them over an edge,
the model has fallen.
Going Prone
Models may drop to the ground as a free action and

go prone. Place prone models on their side, but face
up. Movement while prone is at half their normal rate.
Models can stand up by making a move action and can
also move up to half their normal rate when doing so.
Optional rule
Moving out of base contact
When a model attempts to move out of base

contact with one or more opposing models, they
must make an opposed Agi test. If successful
the model may move as normal. If failed, one
opposing enemy model may make a free melee
attack, after which the model may move as
normal. Other models, both friends and enemies
in base contact, can contribute to the opposed
Agi test. Add +1 to each sides roll for each
additional model they have in base contact with
the moving out of base contact model.
Charging
Models ending a move action in base contact with

an opposing model that was 3 or more from them
at the start of their activation are considered to have
charged. Models can only charge once in a turn, no
matter how many move actions they may make. A
charging model can make an immediate, free melee
attack and gains both of the following benefits:
l +1 bonus to their to hit roll
l +1 bonus to their to damage roll
Climbing
When in base contact with a climbable surface or piece

of terrain, models can climb up or down one or more
levels (count each level as being 2 in height), as part
of their move action if they successfully pass an Agi
test. If the test is failed they dont climb, but remain
where they were. If a 1 is rolled while attempting to
climb, the model has fallen from the highest level they
could potentially have reached in their move.
Falls
Models who fall, drop or jump down one or more

levels (count each level as being 2 in height), must
make an immediate Agi test, with a 1 penalty for
each level beyond the first fallen. If the Agi test is
passed the model is not harmed, but can do nothing
further this turn. If the test is failed the model has
fallen badly and gains the Stunned status.
Swimming
When in or in base contact with deep water, such as

a lake, a river or the sea, models can swim 1D6 as
a move action if they successfully pass a Str test. If
the test is failed, they either remain in place or move
1d3 in the direction of the current. If a 1 is rolled while
attempting to swim, the model has floundered and is
potentially in real trouble, and will suffer a Str 4 hit as
they struggle for breath.
At the start of a scene, it is a good idea to agree the
direction of current for all relevant pieces of terrain. If
this is not obvious, you can determine direction with a
scatter die.
Dragging Another Model
A Captured or Stunned model can be dragged by

other models in base contact. A single model can drag
another up to half of their movement, while two or
more models can drag them up to their full movement.
In the case of the latter, all of the dragging models
must have Activation tokens and any move actions
taken as a group count towards their actions when
theyre individually activated.
Models with the Large or Massive special effects
cannot be dragged except by other Large or Massive
models. In addition, Large or Massive models can
drag smaller sized models up to their full movement.
THE RULES | 13
Shooting
Melee
Models armed with a ranged weapon can take one

shooting action per turn, as long as:
Models in base contact with one or more enemy

models can make one melee attack for each melee
action they take. Charging models gain an immediate,
free melee attack. Only the activating model gets to
make an attack, but other models may strike back on
their own activation in that turn.
l They have not already used a shooting action of
any kind this turn

l They are not in base contact with any opposing
models
l Distance to the target is equal to or less than the
weapons range
l Target is not hidden, blocked by terrain or another
model, or in melee
l Target is in view of the front 180 arc of the
shooting models base
Roll to Hit
Roll 1D6, a hit will be scored if the result is equal

to or greater than the Hit value of the attack being
used. This is normally written as Bow (5+) and, in this
example, a hit would be scored on a 1D6 roll of 5 or
6. In addition there are modifiers to this die roll, see
the Ranged Attack Modifiers table. A die roll of 1 will
always miss, regardless of any modifiers.

14 | THE RULES
Using different melee weapons

If a model is equipped with different melee
weapons they may choose to use only one of
them in a turn, but are free to switch between
them each turn. Decide when the model uses a
weapon for the first time that turn. Brawl attacks
and Special attacks are an exception, as they
are instinctive, natural attacks that a model can
always make during their activation or the turn.
Attacking Across Levels
Models that would be roughly in base contact, if not

separated by their difference in elevation, may make
melee attacks normally if part of their bases or bodies
(legs, arms, torso and head) overlap vertically. If 1 or
less vertically separates the two models from each
other then they can still make melee attacks, but suffer
a -1 to hit penalty while doing so and cannot gain
any benefits from charging. If more than 1 vertically
separates the two models then they cannot make
melee attacks against each other. Models with the
Flyer special effect can attack models up to 1 higher
or lower than themselves without the -1 to hit penalty,
but still do not gain any benefits from charging while
doing so.
All or Nothing Attack
Attacking models can choose to make an All or

Nothing attack, trading an efficient defence for a
greater chance to land a blow. The decision whether
to do so or not must be taken before the to hit roll
is made. When making an All or Nothing attack, the
model rolls an additional D6 and will roll to damage
with all of the dice that score a hit. However, a model
surviving such an attack can make an immediate, free
melee attack in retaliation.
Example: Parrying with a sword
If a model equipped with a sword and a dagger

attempts to Parry an attack with a sword in a
turn, they can only make a Sword or Brawl
attack during their later activation.
Example: Two-handed axe and sword

If a model equipped with a two-handed axe and
sword charges, they cannot use the sword for
the free attack gained from charging and then
switch to using the two-handed axe. In addition,
they could not use the two-handed axe in their
own activation and then attempt to Parry an
attack later that turn with their sword.
Successful Hits
If a hit is scored, the melee attack has been

successful. What happens next is dependent on the
type of attack or weapon being used. Models may
either Pushback, Knockdown, or attempt to cause
damage to their opponent.
Pushback or Knockdown
Successful melee attacks do not have to inflict

damage. An attacking model can instead choose to
have the losing model suffer one of the two following
penalties:
l Pushback - Move the hit model 1 back from
the attacking model. For each point by which the

attacking models Str exceeds that of the pushed
model add 1 to the distance moved. The attacking
model can choose to move with the pushed model,
remaining in base contact with them.
l Knockdown - The hit model is knocked Prone.
Place prone models on their side, but face up.
Large models can only be affected by Pushback or
Knockdown caused by other models with the Large
or Massive special effects, while Massive models can
only be affected by other Massive models.

can knock down forests, so will likely

When a model is hit or suffers potential damage from

any source, make a damage roll by comparing the
attacking Str with the models Def and rolling 1D6 on
the Damage table above. A wound is caused if the
result is equal to or greater than the target number
listed. In addition there are modifiers to this damage
roll, see the Melee Attack Modifiers table. A die roll
of 1 will always fail, regardless of any modifiers.
Models that have suffered wounds,

but are not incapacitated should
have the wounds theyve taken
recorded, either on the players
cast list or by using wound tokens
placed next to the model. During
the End Phase remove from play any
models that have no Hits remaining.
When two numbers are given, such as 6 then 5+, two

rolls must be made. The first roll, plus any modifiers,
must be equal to or greater than 6 and the second roll,
plus any modifiers, must be equal to or greater than
the second target number listed to cause a wound.
Capturing Models
Wound or Stun
Most attacks cause serious damage. Unless noted

otherwise, a successful damage roll will always cause
a wound. Unarmed melee attacks, such as Brawl, can
normally only Stun a model. However, if the attacking
models Str is greater than the model's Def they may
choose to cause a wound instead.
Multiple Wounds
Normally only one wound is caused, but some

Monsters, weapons or circumstances may cause
more. When multiple wounds may be caused, make
damage rolls for each potential wound separately.
Wounds and Hits
Models keep functioning normally until they lose their

last Hit. Once a model sustains a number of wounds
equal to their Hit statistic they are incapacitated. Place
incapacitated models on their side, but face down.
Unless healed in some way, incapacitated models
cannot be activated. If one or more Hits are restored
an incapacitated model becomes Prone, turn the
model face up, and they can be activated as normal.
WOUNDED
strength higher
Instead of removing a models last remaining Hit with

a melee attack, an attacking model may choose to
capture them instead. Discount any wounds the model
would normally have received from the attack, instead
the model gains the Captured status. As long as they
remain in base contact the attacking model can now
choose to relocate themselves and the model just
captured to:
l Anywhere in their deployment area
l Within 4 of a friendly member of their cast
16 | THE RULES
None shall pass!
Special Actions
AND TESTS
to or higher than the target number, the model has

successfully passed the test. Models that have a
statistic value of 0 automatically fail any statistic test
theyre required to take. The only exception to this are
Morale tests, see page 17.
Where two numbers are given, such as 2+/5+, if the
first roll of 2+ is failed, another roll needing the second
target number can be attempted. A die roll of 1 will
always fail, regardless of any modifiers.
Special Actions
Opposed Tests
Special actions cover all the miscellaneous things

models can get up to, such as opening or closing
a door or chest, pulling a lever, etc. Performing
Spells and using some special effects also require a
special action. In addition, a model may use a special
action to assist another model before they make an
opposed test as long as they are in base contact and,
in the case of special effects, possess the relevant
one themselves.
When two models are directly competing over the

outcome of an action, whether it is a battle of strength or
wills, make an opposed test. Opposed tests are always
made using the same statistic, Str vs Str, Int vs Int, etc.
To make an opposed test, roll 1D6 for each model
and add their relevant statistic value to the result. The
highest total wins. Where multiple models are involved
in an opposed test, use the highest statistic value from
that side, but add +1 for each additional model helping.
Statistic Tests
Models are sometimes required to test against one

of their statistics, either because theyre attempting
a difficult action or the action theyre attempting is
opposed by an enemy model.
Models that have a statistic value of 0 automatically win

any opposed test theyre forced to take. They cant be
beaten either because they are immune, insubstantial,
invulnerable, mindless or too powerful to overcome.
To make a statistic test, roll 1D6 and look up the

models statistic value and target number needed on
the Statistic Test table below. If the result is equal

THE RULES | 17
Morale Tests
Morale determines which models will stand and
fight, battle against the odds, and remain calm in the
face of fearsome and terrible foes. Morale tests are
made in the same way as statistic tests, using the
Statistic Test table. However, models with a Morale
of 0 automatically succeed at all Morale tests theyre
required to take.
Alone
Many models do not operate well far from help. If an

Extra that doesnt already have the Scared status is
within 6 of three or more enemy models and there
are no friendly models within 6 of them when they are
activated, then that model must make a Morale test.
If this test is passed the model will stand firm, but if it
is failed they suffer the Scared status. Models in base
contact with one or more enemy models, or models
possessing the Fearsome special effect, are not
required to make Alone tests.
Shaken
If your cast has lost half or more of its models (include

Captured, Dominated and Stunned models as being
lost), in the End Phase you must make a single
Morale test, with a 1 penalty, using the highest
Morale value of any active Star, Co-Star or Guest Star.
If this test is passed your cast will fight on, sensing
victory might still be possible. If the test is failed
immediately remove 1D3 of your models from play. If
you do not have any active Stars, Co-Stars or Guest
Stars remaining to make the test, remove 1D6 of your
models from play instead.
Example
Shaken Morale test
Your cast has lost half of its models and your

only active Star is Circe, a Vile Tyrant with
Morale 4. During the End Phase she must
make a Morale test with a 1 penalty and
needs to roll a 3+ to be successful. She rolls a 5
and passes the test (5-1 = 4), and everything is
fine. If she had rolled a 3 she would have failed
(3-1 = 2), and you would have to choose 1D3
models from your cast to be removed from play.
Fear
If a model that doesnt already have the Scared

status is activated or finishes any move action they
take within 6 of an enemy model with the Fearsome
special effect, they must make an immediate Morale
test. If this test is passed, the model may continue
as normal. If the test is failed, the model suffers the
Scared status. Models in base contact with one or
more enemy models, or models possessing the
Fearsome special effect themselves, are not required
to make Fear tests.
Wiped Out
If your cast has lost three quarters or more of its

models (include Captured, Dominated and Stunned
models as being lost), you must make a single Morale
test like you would for being Shaken, but with a 2
penalty instead. If the test is failed your opponent
may choose 1D3 of your models to be immediately
removed from play. If you do not have any active
Stars, Co-Stars or Guest Stars remaining to make the
test, your opponent may choose to remove 1D6 of
your models from play instead.
Example
Wiped Out Morale test
Things have gone from bad to worse, your cast

has lost three quarters of its models. Your only
active Star is Circe, a Vile Tyrant with Morale 4.
During the End Phase she must make a Morale
test with a 2 penalty and needs to roll a 3+ to
be successful. She rolls a 4 and fails the test
(4-2 = 2), and your opponent now chooses 1D3
models from your cast to be removed from play.
If Circe had not been active, had been Stunned
for instance, there would be no Star, Co-Star or
Guest Star to make the Morale test and instead
your opponent would choose 1D6 models from
your cast to be removed from play.
18 | THE RULES
Statuses
Confused
CONFUSED
Confused models can only take

one action when activated. As a
special action, a model can try to
snap out of their confusion, remove
the Confused status on a 1D6 roll of
4+. Confused models suffer a 2 to hit
penalty on all attacks, count both their Def and Int as
1 less to a minimum of 1, and are unable to perform
Spells.
Dominated
DOMINATED
Dominated models leave their

original cast and become part
of the dominating models cast
instead, effectively changing sides.
They become like any other model
in their new cast, counting towards
Activation tokens and Morale tests, and can be
activated as normal. While dominated, the models
original owner does not count them as part of their
cast and cannot activate them. If they attack or target
their original cast they must make an Int test before
doing so. If the test is passed they immediately
remove their Dominated status and may take no
further actions. In addition, the models original owner
can roll to remove this status as normal during the
End Phase. A Dominated model counts as being lost
for Shaken and Wiped Out Morale tests.
Scared
Scared models cannot use move

actions to move closer to enemy
models with the Fearsome special
effect, but are free to move away
as normal. Scared models suffer a
2 to hit penalty on all attacks, count
both their Def and Morale as 1 less to a
minimum of 1, and are unable to perform Spells.
SCARED
CAPTURED
Captured models cannot activate
and take no further part in the
game, apart from rolling to remove
statuses affecting them. However,
a model cannot attempt to remove
the Captured status while affected by
other statuses, as a Scared or Stunned
model is unlikely to want or be able to escape for
example. A model may remove other statuses first
and then the Captured status in the same End Phase.
If the Captured status is removed then the model
has managed to escape and is allowed to make an
immediate free action. A Captured model counts as
being lost for Shaken and Wiped Out Morale tests.
At the start of their activation

models On Fire must make a
Morale test. If the test is passed
they have controlled their fear and
may use special actions to try and
put themselves out. If the Morale test
is failed they move 1D6 in a random direction and
can take no further actions this turn. At the end of
their casts Action Phase if theyre still On Fire, they
suffer a Str 4 hit. As a special action, the model or a
friendly model in base contact may attempt to put out
the flames, remove the On Fire status on a 1D6 roll
of 4+. On Fire models suffer a 2 to hit penalty on all
attacks, count both their Def and Agi as 1 less to a
minimum of 1, and are unable to perform Spells.
Stunned
Only models with 1 Hit or less

remaining can become stunned,
they immediately fall Prone and
cannot activate until this status is
removed. Models with more than
1 Hit remaining do not become
stunned, but suffer a wound instead
that cannot be prevented by any means. A Stunned
model counts as being lost for Shaken and Wiped Out
Morale tests.
STUNNED
Captured
On Fire
ON FIRE
Models can be affected by conditions that can carry

over from turn to turn, these conditions are known as
statuses. There are six statuses used in 7th Voyage,
each one is represented by a token that should be
placed next to any model suffering from that status.
Removing Statuses
In the End Phase, every model can attempt to recover

from the statuses that are affecting them. Choose a
model and choose a status affecting it, roll 1D6 for
each Hit the model has remaining on its profile. You
may remove the chosen status and its token if any
dice rolled comes up 6. Otherwise, the model will
continue to suffer the effects of that status. Repeat
this for each status affecting that model. Audience
Appreciation tokens may be spent to modify the die
roll as normal.
THE RULES | 19
Events
Victory
At the start of a scene, before the Initiative for the first

turn is determined, each player should draw three
Event cards from the deck. Event cards can be kept
hidden until used, and once played are discarded to
the bottom of the deck. There are two ways to use an
Event card:
Whether a cast has won or lost at the end of a scene can

be determined in two ways, but both players must agree
before a scene begins which method is being used.
Major Events
These are written on the cards themselves and

represent major twists, not just in the plot, but the
filming of a scene itself. Most Event cards can be
played only at certain points in a turn, such as while
determining Initiative and Audience Appreciation,
before a roll to hit, or during the End Phase, where
this is the case, it will be defined on the card when
it can be played and what effect it will have on the
scene.
Minor Events
Any Event card can also be discarded to gain a +2

bonus to a single die roll. This must be declared
before the roll is made and, whatever the outcome,
the card is then discarded. Only one Event card can
be used per die roll, and when multiple dice are rolled
and the best result is chosen, the +2 bonus is added
to the chosen result.
Last Model Standing
This is a quick and easy way to play and determine the

winning cast. In Last Model Standing, play continues
until either one cast has no active models left in play
or one player concedes. Models with the Captured,
Dominated or Stunned statuses do not count as
active models for this purpose. The losing cast is the
one which has no active models left in play and the
opposing players cast is declared the winner.
Victory Points (VPs)
This is a goal orientated way of playing and

determining the winning cast. Like Last Model
Standing, play continues until either one cast has no
active models left in play or one player concedes, but
it can also end after a set or variable number of turns
depending on the scene being played. Models with
the Captured, Dominated or Stunned statuses do not
count as active models.
Each cast receives Victory Points (VPs) for achieving
various conditions, and the winning cast is the one
with the highest score at the end of the scene. Victory
Points are cumulative, so a cast that has Shaken
and Wiped Out their opponents receive +3 VPs for
example. Conditions will be determined by the scene
being played, but the following conditions in the
Victory Point table below always apply.
Conceding
If one player concedes, the opposing players cast is

automatically declared the winner.

20 | MAGIC
MAGIC
What is Magic in 7th Voyage?
Gifts of the Gods
It is governed by three special effects, Gifts of the

Gods (x), Luck (x) and Magic (x). Gifts of the Gods (x)
governs how much the Gods or your own endeavour
furnishes your cast with wondrous items. Luck (x) is
more elusive, a blend of divine favour, fate and bravura.
Magic (x) not only represents prayers to the Gods,
Spells of a white nature, but the crueller side of the
divine, such as black magic.
This uniqueness extends to the scenes theyre used

in too. At the start of a scene each player must reveal
what Gifts they have purchased, as the power of such
wondrous items is difficult to conceal. If the same Gift
has been chosen by more than one player, no player
receives that Gift in this scene.
Magic in 7th Voyage lies somewhere between the

whim of the Gods and the willpower of mortals. It
represents the Gods granting gifts and powers to
favoured followers, but also knowledgable practitioners
forging magical items and making pacts with great
and terrible forces.
Example
Choosing Gifts
The hero player has two models with the Gift

of the Gods (x) special effect, a Favoured
Champion with Gift of the Gods (2) and an
Enchanting Beauty with Gift of the Gods (1)
for a total of three Gifts. The villain player only
has one model, a Twisted Outcast with Gift of
the Gods (2) for a total of two Gifts. The hero
player chooses the All Seeing Eye, Blade of
Destiny and Mantle of the Lion at a cost of
30 ratings. The villain player chooses Lash
of Flame and Mantle of the Lion at a cost of
18 ratings.
At the start of the scene both players reveal
their chosen Gifts. Because both players have
chosen Mantle of the Lion for their cast and
all Gifts are unique, neither cast receives it.
The hero player gives the Blade of Destiny to
the Favoured Champion and the All Seeing
Eye to the Enchanting Beauty, while the
villain player gives the Lash of Flame to the
Twisted Outcast.
What Gifts youre able to use are determined by your

ranks in Gifts of the Gods (x). Each rank enables you
to purchase one Gift at the rating cost listed for your
cast. You may only choose one of each Gift available
as these magic items, forged by the Gods or the
artifice of mortals, are unique.
Once you have determined which cast has which

Gifts, you may give them to any of your Stars, CoStars or Guest Stars to use, not just the ones with the
Gifts of the Gods (x) special effect.
Performing Spells
Models with Magic (x) can attempt to perform Spells

during their turn. When activated they receive a number
of D6 equal to their rank in Magic (x), which becomes
their Magic Pool for that activation. Any dice in the
pool not used by the end of their activation are lost.
To attempt a Spell a model must take a special action.
This enables a model to attempt more than one Spell
per turn, but they cannot attempt the same Spell twice
in the same turn. When attempting a Spell choose
how many D6 from the models Magic Pool you are
going to use. You can use any or all of the D6 in the
pool, but you must use at least one. Roll the chosen
amount of D6 and add the models Int value to the
result. If the total of this roll is equal to or greater than
the Difficulty of the Spell then it has been performed
successfully and the effects are resolved immediately.
MAGIC | 21
If any of the D6 used to attempt a Spell result in a

natural 1 being rolled before any modifiers, such as
AA tokens and Event cards, the model may take no
further actions that turn. If the Spell was performed
successfully its effects are resolved first, but after
that the model cannot take any further actions in that
turn. This represents the taxing nature of harnessing
magic, the more power you draw upon, the more likely
it will leave you drained.
Chanting
A model may spend a special action Chanting prior to

attempting a Spell. Chanting adds a +2 bonus to the
result of any Spells they attempt to perform in that turn.
One Use Only
Most Spells can be attempted multiple times in a

game, but the most powerful acts of magic can only
be successfully preformed once. Spells that are
One use only are clearly described as such in their
description, they may be attempted multiple times, but
are discarded after the first time they are successfully
performed.
Animation and Summoning
Some Spells enable guardian statues to be animated

or shadowy undead to be summoned. These models
must be purchased as normal as part of their
cast, but can only be activated or enter play if a
member of their cast with the Magic (x) special effect
successfully performs the relevant Spell.
Animation
A model with an Animation Spell can use it to bring an

extra with the Animated special effect to life. Animated
models may be placed anywhere on the table during
set up for a scene, but may not be activated until
brought to life by a member of their cast. Until brought
to life an Animated model may not be harmed by any
means, nor can they affect or hinder any other model.
However, even though they cant activate until brought
to life, Animated models do count towards determining
Activation tokens each turn and the number of active
models in play for Shaken and Wiped Out tests.
Examples
Attempting a Spell
Circe, a Vile Tyrant, has Int 5 and

Magic (3). On her activation her Magic
Pool consists of three D6. Attempting
to perform Cage the Soul, which
is Difficulty 12, she chooses to roll
two D6 from the pool, and rolls a 1
and a 6. Cage the Soul is performed
successfully, as the total (7 + Int 5) is
equal to Difficulty 12, but having rolled
a 1 she cant take any further actions
this turn. Cage the Soul is resolved and
Circes activation ends.
In addition, Cage the Soul is One use
only, so Circe cannot perform it again in
this scene. If she had failed to perform
the Spell successfully, regardless of
whether she rolled a 1 or not, she could
attempt to perform Cage the Soul again
in her following turns.
Animation
The villainous cast includes a Living

Idol of Clay, purchased at the cost
of 45 ratings, which the villain player
chooses to place in the centre of the
table. Until animated, the Idol cannot
be activated, but does
count towards determining
Activation tokens. Jafar,
a Vile Tyrant in the Idols
cast, successfully performs
Animate the Idol during the
second turn. The Idol
can now activate and
be harmed by other
models as normal.
22 | MAGIC
Summoning
Summoning
The villainous cast includes three Skeleton

Warriors, purchased at the cost of 15 ratings
each, which are placed in the Reserve
area. Jafar, a Vile Tyrant in their cast, has
successfully performed the Awaken the Dead
Spell. He rolls 1D3, and rolls a 1, so one
Skeleton Warrior is removed from the Reserve
area and put into play within 6 of Jafar.
Next turn he successfully performs Awaken
the Dead again. This time his 1D3 roll is a 3.
However, as there are two Skeleton Warriors
left in the Reserve area, only the last two
Skeleton Warriors are put into play.
Choosing Spells
Circe, a Vile Tyrant, has Magic (3). She can

choose three Spells, which include those
marked as Villain only. She decides to choose
Aspect of Terror, which is Villain only, Cage the
Soul and Unweave Fate. She could not choose
Beacon of Hope or Return the Fallen, as these
two Spells are Hero only.
Calculating and using the Luck Pool
The hero player starts with three models with

the Luck (x) special effect: a Dashing Rogue
with Luck (2), plus an Enchanting Beauty and
Wise Elder who each have Luck (1). Between
them they have four ranks in Luck, so they
start the scene with four tokens in their Luck
Pool. Each of them can use one Luck token
per turn from the pool.
During a turn, the Dashing Rogue tries to use
his Dodge special effect to avoid a melee
attack, but fails his Agi test. Expending a token
from the Luck Pool, he re-rolls the die for his
Agi test and succeeds. He dances out the way
of the blow, but cant use a Luck token again
this turn.
Banishing
A model with a Banishing Spell can use it to return a

Summoned model back to the original casts Reserve
area. A model banished in this way does not count as
either active or lost for Shaken and Wiped Out tests,
but may be returned to play again with the relevant
Summoning Spell.
Choosing Spells
A model can learn a number of Spells equal to their

rank in Magic (x). These Spells can be chosen freely
from those available and the same Spell can be
known by more than one model. Certain Guest Stars
may have their own unique Spells and are assumed to
learn these before choosing any additional Spells for
having left over ranks in Magic (x). In addition, Spells
should be selected when Choosing and Customising
Your Cast, before casts are revealed to opponents.
Some Spells are so evil that only a true villain would
ever consider using them. A Spell marked Villain only
cannot be used by a heroic cast member. Equally,
the more compassionate side of the magical coin
is impossible for a twisted soul to master. A Spell
marked Hero only cannot be used by a villainous cast
member.
Luck
Whether Luck is the whim of the

Gods, a form of magic or something
you make yourself, certain models
seem able to sway the Fates in their
favour. At the start of the game, add
a token for each rank of Luck (x) in
your cast to your Luck Pool.
LUCK
Examples
A model with a Summoning Spell can use it to bring

extras with the Summoned special effect into play.
Summoned models are not placed on the table
as normal at the start of a scene, but are held in a
Reserve area for their cast. Models in a Reserve area
do not count as in play, and therefore do not count
towards determining Activation tokens or active and
lost models for Shaken and Wiped Out tests. They
can only enter play when successfully summoned, at
which point they become part of their cast as normal.
A model with the Luck (x) special effect can remove

a token from the Luck Pool to re-roll any single D6
directly affecting them or another model from their
cast within 6. Each model with Luck (x) can only do
this once per turn. This could be a hit or damage roll,
statistic or Morale test, or roll to remove a status.

In the ancient world, sharpened steel and a sturdy shield were
essential to defend against the bandits blade or the Minotaurs horns.
WEAPONS
Weapons and the attacks you can make with them fall
into two broad categories: melee and ranged, which
also includes thrown weapons. Weapons are further
subdivided into four types: Basic, Trained, Advanced
and Special.
The ratings cost listed in the Weapons table is

the basic cost for an Extra to be equipped with the
weapon, see Extras page 44 for their various options.
Stars and Co-Stars pay double the rating cost listed,
see Customising Your Cast page 35.
Different Stars, Co-Stars and Extras have access to

different weapon types, often limiting their choice of
attacks. For example a model that has only a Basic
attack can never use Trained, Advanced or Special
weapons. Almost all models are able to make a Basic
attack of some sort and many can also make Trained
attacks, but only a very few possess the knowledge to
employ Advanced attacks. Finally, Special attacks are
limited to Animals and Monsters.
The Anatomy of a Weapon
l Description - the name of the weapon.

shot.
l Strength - the power of the weapon, used to
determine to damage rolls.

Weapon Effects
Blast
The weapon uses a blast template of the size indicated.
Centre the template on a target point, which does not
necessarily need to be an enemy model. If the blast
hits its target all models whose bases are touched by
the template are hit and must roll for damage.
Brutal
This weapon is deadly in combat. Models electing to
use this weapon in melee combat roll an extra die when
making to damage rolls and count the highest roll.
Scatter
A missed blast or shot will land the designated
distance away from its target point in a random
direction. Resolve the blast or shot as if it hit this point
or model instead.
Set On Fire
A model hit with this weapon gains the On Fire status.
Stuns
This attack Stuns rather than wounds, see Wound or
Stun on page 15.
Cumbersome
This weapon is difficult to use. Models deciding to use
this weapon in melee combat do not get the to hit and
to damage benefits associated with charging, but can
still make the free attack as part of their move action.
Thrown
This weapon has a range of the wielders (Str +1) x2
in inches. In addition, Thrown weapons do not suffer
the 1 to hit penalty for long range shots.
Dangerous
Difficult and dangerous to use, this weapon can be
somewhat unpredictable. On a to hit roll of 1 the
weapon explodes, causing a Str 4 hit to the user. The
weapon or supply of ammunition is now useless and
cant be used again in this scene.
Thrust
The reach of this weapon is a distinct advantage
against certain foes. Models electing to use this
weapon in melee combat against models with the
Flyer, Large or Massive special effects roll an extra
die when making to hit rolls and count the highest roll.
Entangle
On a successful hit the model may choose to entangle
the victim instead of rolling to damage. An entangled
model is knocked Prone. Entangled models with the
Flyer special effect cannot take to the air during their
next activation, but may stand up and move on the
ground as normal.
Two-handed
This weapon requires the use of both hands. Models
that are equipped with this weapon, regardless of
whether theyre using it or not, cannot benefit from the
Shield special effect.
Move or Fire
The weapon is slow or clumsy to use. It cannot be
fired if the model using it has moved this turn. A model
that has turned, even slightly, counts as moving.
Parry
Models electing to use this weapon can attempt to
parry the first successful melee attack against them
each turn, but only if their Str is equal to or greater
than the Str of the attack. Roll 1D6 and compare it to
the attacking models highest roll to hit, if it is greater
than their roll to hit the attack has been parried and is
discounted.
Two Shots
This weapon can be fired twice with a single shooting
action. If two shots are taken, each suffers a 1 to hit
penalty. Both shots can be taken against the same
target or two separate targets within 4 of each other.
Unwieldy
This weapon is not only Cumbersome, but is very
difficult to use. Models deciding to use this weapon
in melee combat do not get the to hit and to damage
benefits or the free attack immediately after charging,
but can make an attack by using an action as normal.

SPECIAL EFFECTS
On screen, your cast can perform incredible
feats and daring exploits, and demonstrate
uncanny powers. Your choice of special
effects can mean the difference between a
blockbuster and a box office flop.
What are special effects?
Special effects represent abilities and powers a

model may possess. They include everything from
the mundane, such as Armour and Swimming, to
the incredible, such as Herculean Strength and
Regeneration. Most Extras will only have one or two
special effects, but Stars, Co-Stars, Guest Stars and
Monsters may have many more.
Multiple Special Effects
If a model receives the same special effect from

multiple sources, i.e. from their own special effects,
from a Gift of the Gods, or from a Spell, they do not
gain multiple uses of that special effect, but count
as having the special effect only once. In the case of
special effects with an (x) value, such as Invulnerable:
Melee (x), the special effects values do not stack and
only the best value is used.
Examples
Shield of Force
Having the special effect Shield of Force
twice, via a models own special effects and
a Gift such as Shield of Darkness, does not
enable the model to make two Shield of Force
rolls, instead they count as having Shield of
Force only once.
Invulnerable: Melee (x)

Having the special effect Invulnerable: Melee
(1) and Invulnerable: Melee (2), via a models
own special effects and a Gift such as Armour
of the Leviathan, does not grant the model
Invulnerable: Melee (3), instead they use the
best value, which in this case is Invulnerable:
Melee (2).

Combat
Knowledge
A Good Offence
Healer
This model can re-roll one unsuccessful to hit roll

per turn.
Armour
This model wears protective armour that will negate

a hit of Str 3 or less on a 1D6 roll of 5+ and a Str 4
hit on a 6. Hits of Str 5 or more cannot be negated
by Armour alone. Armour can be combined with the
Shield special effect, see below.
Disarm
Models in melee may attempt to disarm an opponent

who is using a weapon. The disarm attempt must be
stated before the to hit roll is made. On a successful
hit the attack causes no damage, but the opponents
weapon can no longer be used for the remainder of
this melee. If the disarmed model survives, they may
collect their weapon as a free action.
Eagle Eyes
Models taking an aimed shot can choose to ignore the

1 to hit penalty for long range shots.
Rage
Make an opposed Morale test with the defending

model when this model charges. If the raging model
wins they can make an additional, free melee attack
this turn.
Shield
This model is equipped with a shield that improves

the 1D6 roll for Armour by 1, so a hit of Str 3 or less
is negated on a 4+ and a Str 4 hit on a 5+. In addition
and for models without the Armour special effect,
Hits of any Str are negated on a 1D6 roll of 6. Models
equipped with a Two-handed weapon cannot use or
gain any benefits from the Shield special effect.
Sixth Sense
The model is acutely aware of danger and is hard to

surprise. If attacking from the rear, an enemy gains
none of the usual benefits, nor does the model with
Sixth Sense suffer any of the penalties.
Titanic Blow
This model hits with the force of a Titan. They count all
of their unarmed, Brawl attacks as being at +1 Str.
Unarmed Adept
When making unarmed, Brawl attacks, secret fighting

techniques allow this model to roll an extra die when
making to hit rolls and count the highest roll.
The model has some knowledge of healing and

herbs. Wounded models not reduced to 0 Hits can
be treated, as can models reduced to 0 Hits in this
turn. While in base contact with a wounded model, as
a special action, the Healer can attempt an Int test.
If the Int test is passed one lost Hit is restored. If an
incapacitated model is healed, turn the model face up
so that it is Prone.
Hypnotise
As a special action, this model can attempt to

hypnotise an Extra within 2. If the target fails an
opposed Int test it will receive the Dominated status.
A dominating model can only control one hypnotised
model at a time.
Infiltrator
The model specialises in feigning allegiance and

spying. They may set up with the opposing casts
models at the start of the scene. The opposing cast
cannot attack or target them until the infiltrating model
is activated, but equally the infiltrator cannot attack,
target or hinder them in their movement. Once they
have been activated their true allegiance is discovered
and they are recognised as the enemy, at which point
all of the normal rules apply.
At the start of the End Phase, if the infiltrating model
has not yet been activated, they must make a Morale
test. If passed they hold their nerve and the charade
continues, but if the test is failed they are discovered
to be the enemy.
Magic (x)
This model is able to perform Spells. On their

activation they receive a number of D6 equal to their
rank in Magic (x), which becomes their Magic Pool for
that activation. This ability can be chosen more than
once, each additional time it is chosen adds +1 to the
rank in brackets. See Magic on page 20 and Spells on
page 80.
Martial Training
The model has been trained in the art of war and

can remain cool-headed in the midst of battle. The
model may re-roll a single failed Morale test per turn.
They may also use Trained weapons instead of Basic
weapons when choosing their attacks.
Otherworldly
are invulnerable only to specific attacks, where

this is the case, this is clearly listed in their profile.
Spell or Otherworldly attacks are never reduced by
Invulnerable (x). This ability can be chosen more than
once, and each additional time it is chosen adds +1 to
the rank in brackets, up to a maximum of 2.
Models able to choose Otherworldly special effects

may also choose Herculean Strength, Hypnotise and
Sixth Sense as if they were included in this category.
Arcane Bolt
The model can hurl sorcerous bolts or channel divine

wrath. This model is able to make the following attack
as a shooting action:
Range
Hit
Str
12
4+
Notes

Hit
Str
Notes

4+
N/A
If the target fails an opposed

Int test it will receive the
Confused status.
Incorporeal
The model can become insubstantial and ghost-like.

This model begins play as solid as any other model, but
can become or cease to be incorporeal at the start of
their activation. Incorporeal models have Def 0, cannot
be physically attacked, make attacks of any kind, attempt
Spells, or interact with another model or object in
anyway. Otherworldly special effects and Spells continue
to affect them as normal. Incorporeal models can walk
through other models and items of scenery, but cannot
end their activation inside another model or solid object.
Psychic
Psychic models can see beyond the mortal plane.

Models with this special effect can re-roll one die
per turn that directly affects them. Psychic models
can clearly see, attack and target models using the
Invisible special effect, ignoring any penalties.
Regeneration
The model can heal extremely rapidly. At the start of each

End Phase, before models with no Hits remaining are
removed, roll 1D6 for each Hit they have lost. If any of
the dice rolled are a 6, the model recovers one lost Hit.
Shield of Force
The model is surrounded by a mystical shield or

possesses incredibly tough armour or skin. Roll 1D6
every time the model is about to suffer a wound. On
the roll of a 5 or 6, the wound is discounted.
Telekinesis
The model can move objects by the power of their

mind alone. As a special action, they can perform the
following actions and attacks:
Power
Range
Hit
Str
Notes

N/A Target must pass an

Agi test or fall Prone.
Invisible
The model can vanish, even in the middle of combat.

This model begins play as visible as any other model,
but can become or cease to be invisible at the start of
their activation. Invisible models may ignore the Blocker
special effect, cannot be targeted by ranged attacks of
any kind, and any model attempting to attack them in
melee suffers a 2 to hit penalty. Furthermore, melee
attacks by an invisible model gain a +1 bonus to hit. An
invisible model loses their invisibility immediately after
making an attack of any kind, attempting a Spell or
interacting with another model or object in anyway.
Invulnerable: Melee (x) and

Invulnerable: Ranged (x)
Choose either melee or ranged attacks. The model

reduces the Str of the chosen attack by their rank
in Invulnerable (x). Certain Extras and Guest Stars
Telepathy
The model can communicate with others using their

mental energy. At the start of this models activation,
you may choose any other single model on the table.
For this turn, the chosen model may benefit from the
telepathic models Leader (x), Psychic and Sixth Sense
special effects as if they possessed them instead.
Teleportation
The model can instantly move from one point to

another. At the start of this models activation, they
may move to any spot on the table that is not adjacent
to another model. If they do so, they cannot perform
any further actions this turn, of any kind, and cannot
teleport again in the following turn.
Physical
Blocker
Opposing models moving to within 2 of this

model must either move into base contact or stop
immediately. Models within this distance can only
move away or into base contact with the Blocker.
Models in melee or suffering the Stunned status lose
their Blocker special effect.
Climbing
The model can climb without requiring an Agi test.
Concealment
Herculean Strength
The model can concentrate and bring their vast

reserves of physical might to bear. If they spend a
special action girding themselves, they can count their
Str as being one higher for the remainder of the turn.
Roar
The model can emit a terrifying bellow, freezing the

hearts of weak-willed opponents. If they spend a
special action roaring, opposing models within 6 must
pass a Fear test, see Morale Tests on page 17.
If a model with this special effect is in cover or behind

an obstacle, an attacker cannot target them with any
ranged attacks if the distance to the target is more
than the attacking models Int x2 in inches.
Swimming
Daring Leap
If this model passes an Agi test when falling one or

more levels they are not harmed and can continue
their activation as normal.
If the model needs to cross an obstacle or a gap, they

can roll an additional 1D6 and use the highest die to
determine the distance moved.
This model can swim through deep water without

requiring a Str test.
Tumbling
Dodge
Models can attempt to dodge the first successful

melee hit made against them each turn. The attack
is counted as a miss if the model can succeed at an
Agi test.
Shopping in

Traits
Courageous
Leader (x)
The model is an outcast, shunned by mortals. This

model causes Fear in Civilian Extras. Stars and CoStars who are Damned may choose to spend one of
their special effect points purchasing an Otherworldly
effect if this is not already an option.
When this model is activated,

you receive a number of Leader
Activation tokens for each rank in
this special effect. These additional
LEADER
Activation tokens can only be placed
ACTIVATION
on friendly models within 6 of the
Leader, who have not activated already
this turn and do not already have a token. This ability
can be chosen more than once, each additional time it
is chosen adds +1 to the rank in brackets.
Follower
Luck (x)
Damned
This model is never far from the side of their master,

making sure their orders are carried out. Choose one
model in their cast (Stars can only choose another
Star, Co-Stars can choose either a Star or another
Co-Star, and Extras can choose any model). If the
chosen model activates, the Follower gains an
Activation token if they are within 6, have not activated
already this turn and do not already have a token.
Gifts of the Gods (x)
The Gods favour, mystical knowledge or acquiring

fingers of this model enables their cast to purchase
one Gift for each rank in this special effect. This ability
can be chosen more than once, each additional time it
is chosen adds +1 to the rank in brackets. See Gifts of
the Gods, page 78.
Honour Bound
This model has a strict code of honour. They will not

attack Prone models nor do they gain the usual +1 to
hit bonus when making rear attacks. You receive +1
VP if this model is still active at the end of any scene.
If you have any Honour Bound models in your cast
you must declare them at the start of a scene.
Inspirational
This model adds a number of tokens

to your Luck Pool for each rank in
this special effect. This ability can
be chosen more than once, each
additional time it is chosen adds +1
to the rank in brackets. A model with
the Luck (x) special effect can remove
a token from your Luck Pool to re-roll any single D6
directly effecting them or another model from your
cast within 6. Each model with Luck (x) can only do
this once per turn. This could be a hit or damage roll,
statistic or Morale test, or roll to remove a status. See
Luck, page 22.
LUCK
This model can re-roll one failed Morale test per turn
if they are more than 6 away from any other friendly
model.
Obey Me!
Once per turn, when an enemy model is activated, but

before they take any actions, a model with Obey Me!
may immediately command a friendly model within 6
to take a free move action, which may be a charge.
Seduce
The model can captivate an opponent with their

charms! As a special action, this model can attempt to
seduce an Extra within 2. If the target fails an opposed
Morale test it will receive the Confused status.
Models within 6 of a friendly Inspirational model may

re-roll a single failed Morale test per turn.
I Will Return!
Models with this ability always manage to escape. If

this model has the Captured status at the end of a
scene, the capturing cast do not gain any benefits or
VPs for having done so.
"You must remove the nail, there at his

ankle, and Talos will bleed to death."
Medea, Daughter of Aetes
Disadvantages
Cameo
This model only makes a fleeting appearance in the

scene. At the start of the scene, roll 1D3 to determine
the turn in which this model will enter play. When they
enter play, place this model in your set up area before
determining Initiative for the turn.
Clumsy
The model is ham-fisted and uncoordinated in their

actions. Whenever they attempt an Agi test, they must
roll an additional die and choose the worst result.
Cowardly
This model is easily frightened. Whenever they

attempt a Fear based Morale test, they must roll an
additional die and choose the worst result.
Cursed
The model has a natural air of misfortune. Whenever

they attempt a re-roll, they must roll an additional die
and choose the worst result. In addition, Audience
Appreciation tokens cannot be used on this model.
Loner
This model does not work well with others. They

cannot have or gain any benefit from the Leader (x)
special effect.
Love To Hate
This character is particularly loathed by the

audience. Each turn, their cast receives one less
Audience Appreciation token for every model with
this special effect.
Peaceful
This model tends to avoid combat on moral grounds.

They can never claim any beneficial modifiers for their
attacks, and if they cause another model to lose their
last Hit they must pass an immediate Morale test or
gain the Confused status.
Slow
The model is so slow, clumsy or shambling that

it cannot take two move actions in the same turn.
However, so deliberate are their steps that Slow
models suffer no movement penalties for travelling
over difficult ground.
Victim
Enemy models attempting to damage this model

with a melee attack must roll 5+ on 1D6 to do so.
Otherwise, theyre oddly compelled to attempt to
Capture them instead. If this model has the Captured
status at the end of the game, they are worth an
additional +1 VP to the capturing cast.

If this model has the Captured status at the end of the

game, they are worth an additional +2 VP. If you have
any Wanted models in your cast you must declare
them at the start of a scene.
Weak Willed
Any failed attempt to Hypnotise or Seduce a Weak

Willed Extra can be re-rolled. In addition, Hypnotise
and Seduce can be used on Weak Willed Stars, CoStars and Guest Stars. Furthermore, no Weak Willed
models can use the Leader (x) special effect.
Monstrous
Animal
If this model is activated and is not in base contact

with an enemy model, roll 1D6. On a roll of 1, the
opposing player may decide their actions this turn, on
a 2, they wait, watching their potential prey, and may
not take any actions this turn, on a 3, they move 1D6
towards the nearest enemy model, but stop 1 away,
and on a 4, 5 or 6, they activate as normal this turn.
Animated
This model may set up anywhere on the table at the

start of a scene, but may not activate until the relevant
Animating Spell is successfully performed by a
member of their cast. Until then they cant be harmed
by any means, nor can they affect or hinder any other
model. See Animation & Summoning on page 21.
Aquatic
This model can breathe underwater and move through

deep water without requiring a Str test. They may also
move up to their full Move value in all water.
Fanatic
The model fears almost nothing. It never needs to

make Alone or Fear based Morale tests. This model
cannot be removed from play due to a failed Shaken
or Wiped Out Morale test if there are other nonFanatic models still in play.
Fearsome
This model emits a terrifying aura that causes Fear

tests in other models, see Morale Tests on page 17.
Flyer
FLYING
The model can take to the air via

wings or magic as part of its move
action, if it does so place a Flying
token next to it. While flying, it can
move up to its normal rate, ignores all
movement penalties, can move over
friendly and enemy models, and cannot be engaged
in melee combat. Shots at or by a flying model suffer
a 1 to hit penalty and the range is increased by
6 to account for the models extra height. A flying
model can choose to land again at the end of any
subsequent move action, if it does so remove the
Flying token.
Hurl
The model is incredibly powerful in its attacks. On a

successful damage roll, they may choose to knock
the damaged model 2 directly away and knock them
Prone in addition to the wounds caused.
Large
The model is so huge that any attacks against it receive

a +1 to hit bonus. Large models suffer no movement
penalties for travelling over difficult ground or obstacles.
Large models can only be affected by Entangle,
Pushback or Knockdown caused by other models with
the Large or Massive special effects. Large models
cannot be dragged except by other Large or Massive
models. In addition, Large models can drag smaller
sized models up to their full movement.
Massive
This model is truly gigantic, any attacks against it

receive a +1 to hit bonus. Massive models suffer no
movement penalties for travelling over difficult ground
or obstacles, and can attack any model within 2 as if
they were in base contact. Massive models can only
be affected by Entangle, Pushback or Knockdown
caused by other models with the Massive special
effect. Massive models cannot be dragged except
by other Massive models. In addition, Massive
models can drag smaller sized models up to their full
movement.
Mount
Models with the Mount special effect may be ridden

by other non-mount, humanoid models in their cast.
As a special action a model may mount or dismount
a model with the Mount special effect. When doing
so the models must be in base contact. While being
ridden, a model with the Mount special effect cannot
be activated. When the riding model takes a move
action, use the mounts Move and any special effects,
such as Daring Leap or Flyer, to determine their
combined movement. A riding model may also use
their mounts attacks in place of their own.
Small
Shooting at this model incurs a 1 to hit penalty due

to its small size.
Summoned
This models is not set up as normal at the start of a

scene, but is held in their casts Reserve area. They
can only enter play when the relevant Summoning
Spell is successfully performed by a member of their

Swarm
This model is a teeming mass of smaller creatures,

such as scarabs or snakes, moving en masse. If
they gain the On Fire status, this model is instantly
removed. Swarms make one attack against each
opposing model in base contact when they attack.

Casting Couch
Will your cast be a crew of seafaring
swashbucklers charting lost islands? A
demigod and his companions on an endless
quest? Or will you play a sinister sorcerer
trying to harness the power of dark gods?
Extras
The unnamed bodies in the background. Extras are

useful as backup or to send in when you dont want to
risk your leading men and ladies.
All Extras are listed in the Central Casting chapter on
pages 44 to 53.
Choosing Your Cast
Ratings
A film will contain models with a mixture of profiles,

special effects and weapons, which will offer both
variety and different strategies to your games. There will
usually be three different types of models in your cast.
Guest Stars
When creating a cast, your biggest choice is whether

to play as the heroic or villainous side. A cast is made
up of a number of models, usually a Star, Co-Stars
and Extras, chosen up to an agreed ratings value for
the scene being played.
Star
These are the principle actors, the prime agents of

action and drama in a scene. 7th Voyage has four
available Stars:
Hero
Villain
Favoured Champion
Twisted Outcast
Dashing Rogue
Vile Tyrant
Co-Star
Supporting the Star, although they may get less

screen time, Co-Stars are normally more numerous,
and offer useful special effects to your cast.
Hero
Villain
Brother in Arms
Brutish Bodyguard
Enchanting Beauty
Deadly Assassin
Wise Elder
Their Right Hand
Each model has an individual ratings cost. When

two costs are given, the first is the ratings cost for a
heroic cast and the second is the cost for a villainous
cast. When there is no cost and only a dash, that
model may not be purchased by that type of cast, for
example: Harpy -/20 ratings, can only be chosen by a
villainous cast.
In addition to Stars, Co-Stars and Extras, if all players
agree beforehand, you can also choose to include
Guest Stars in your cast. Guest Stars are powerful
models, true heroes, villains and monsters of legend.
Summoned and Animated Models
Models with the Summoned or Animated special

effects must also be purchased at this stage and
count toward your total ratings.
Final Ratings
Your final cast rating equals the cost of all of your

chosen models, customisation of Stars, Co-Stars and
Extras, plus any Gifts of the Gods youve chosen.

Customising Your Cast
Once you have picked the models that form your cast,
you can begin to tailor them to create your own unique
heroes or villains. Stars and Co-Stars are the most
customisable, but certain Extras can also be tailored
to have a greater role.
Adjust Statistics
Each Star and Co-Star has a number of points that

can be used to purchase increases to the statistics
of their profile. All statistics, apart from Hits, can
be increased in this way up to a maximum of +3.
Additional points may be purchased at the cost of +5
ratings each, and a Star or Co-Star may reduce one
statistic by 1 (2 for Move) to gain one additional
point to spend.
Statistic Increase table

Points required

Choose Special Effects
Stars and Co-Stars receive all of the Basic special

effects listed on their profiles. In addition, they
can freely choose from amongst the Additional
special effects available up to the amount listed.
Disadvantages may be taken and an Additional
special effect can be gained for each one chosen up
to the amount listed. One adjustment may also be
made, a Basic special effect can be removed to gain
one Additional special effect.
Attacks and Weapons
Stars and Co-Stars receive all of the attacks listed on

their profiles, but must choose which Weapon each
attack relates to. A new attack can be purchased
for +5 ratings and the Hit roll of any attack can be
improved by 1 for +5 ratings. No attack can have a Hit
roll of better than 2+. Stars and Co-Stars do not come
with any weapons, but must purchase them at double
the cost listed on the Weapons table, see page 24.
Choose Spells and Gifts
Models with the Magic (x) and Gift of the Gods (x)
special effects, should choose their Spells and select
Gifts at this point, and in the case of the latter the
ratings cost should be added to the casts rating.
Extras
Extras come with the special effects, attacks and

weapons listed in their profiles and may take any of
the options at the ratings cost listed.
Also Starring
One Extra in your cast can be given a greater role in a

scene. This can be any Extra model apart from those
possessing the Animal or Fearsome special effect.
These Animal or Fearsome Extras already have a
starring role, being monsters or beasts that often steal
the scene.
For +15 ratings the Also Starring Extra can either
increase two statistics by +1 each and gain one
special effect, or increase one statistic by +1 and gain
two special effects. They may choose special effects
from Leader (x), Luck (x), or from any of the special
effects listed under Also Starring on their profile.
Unlike Stars or Co-Stars, Also Starring Extras may
choose to increase their Hits by +1.

Central Casting
As Stars and Co-Stars are notoriously
expensive, it is the Extras who will make up
the majority of your cast, allowing you to stage
the climactic scenes that sand-and-sorcery
epics are known for.
Mortals
Extras come with the special effects, attacks and

weapons listed in their profiles and may take any of
the options at the ratings cost listed.
Civilian
Extras are divided into three categories:

l Mortals Seasoned warriors, noble senators,
and sinister cultists are gathered here to form your

ship's crew or loyal worshippers.
l Stop Motion models Springing from the pages
of legend, these mythical beings and creatures are
a wonder to behold, and a terror to face.
l Animals From mundane beasts of burden to
giant predators lurking in the dark corners of the
world, animals can be unpredictable companions
or foes.
4/3 ratings
Citizens, nobles, slaves

Civilians represent all levels of society, from artisans
and farmers to merchants and philosophers, but they
are more or less equal in every respect when facing
the monsters of myth and legend.

Three Wishes
As the owner of the lamp, a model can make up to
three wishes. Each wish is a free action, which the
owner of the lamp can perform during their activation.
The wishes that can be made are:
l Summon the Djinn to attack one model chosen by
the owner of the lamp, see As Commanded.

l Grant the owner of the lamp the use of any one
Otherworldly special effect until the end of the turn.

l Heal any model, anywhere on the table, as if the
Healer special effect had just been successfully

used on them.
l Grant the Djinn their freedom.
As Commanded
When summoned, a Djinn will attack one model
chosen by the owner of the lamp. They wont attack
any other model, unless that model is already in base
contact with them or is preventing them from reaching
the chosen model. The Djinn will appear within 6
of the owner of the lamp and vanish, returning to its
Reserve area, once they have killed, Captured or
Stunned the chosen model.
Bound to the Lamp
A summoned Djinn that loses their last Hit returns to
their Reserve area. If summoned again they reappear
fully healed.
Freedom Denied
If the final wish is not to grant the Djinn their freedom
or the owner of the lamp is removed from play by the
opposing cast, the lamp will immediately betray its
current owner and become the possession of the
nearest Star, Co-Star or Guest Star in the opposing

Gorgon!
To fulfil his vow, Perseus must claim the head
of Medusa.
Tricked by one of the suitors pursuing his mother,
Perseus must return with the head of Medusa, a
hideous Gorgon who can turn any mortal that meets
her gaze to stone. Undeterred by his impossible task,
Perseus must embark on a long journey to find and
outwit the Graeae crones and, aided by the gorgeous
Andromeda, enter the sanctum of Medusa.
Heroes
Perseus is often aided in his quest by both
supernatural and powerful women, including the
Hesperides nymphs, Queen Cassiopeia (Also Starring
Civilian) and her daughter, the beautiful Andromeda
(Enchanting Beauty).
Villains
Medusa is one of the Gorgons, a trio of dreadful and
horrific female creatures cursed by the Gods. Her
immortal sisters, Stheno and Euryale, are arguably

In protecting his mother, Dana, from the advances

of Polydectes, Perseus was tricked into delivering the
head of Medusa, the only mortal Gorgon, as a gift for
the cunning suitor.

Some claim that Medusa is the daughter of primordial

sea gods, while others attest that she was once a
beautiful priestess who offended her patron goddess,
Athena, and was transformed as punishment.
Whatever her origin, Medusa is one of the Gorgons,
and the only one of the three sisters that is mortal.
Terrible to behold, her hair is a mass of living snakes,
and one look can turn any creature to stone.
The Graeae
Sharing a single, magical eye, and only one tooth,

these three sister-crones have the power of prophesy
and are known as Deino Dread, Enyo Horror, and
Pemphredo Alarm.
Like their names, their prophesies are suitably dire
and foreboding. Even so, their cursed portents have
attracted a cult of degenerates to serve them.

The VOYAGES OF SINBAD

Adventurer, rogue and sailor, Sinbads
voyages have become legend.
Whether battling the fabled Rocs, journeying
to uncharted islands, or thwarting the plans of
Shahryar, the adventures of Sinbad and his crew
have been immortalised by Scheherazade in the One
Thousand and One Nights. In the tapestry of these
stories, where fiction ends and reality begins is a
mystery to all except her, but in the voyages yet to be
told her fate and that of Sinbad are forever entwined.
Heroes
Sinbads voyages bring him into contact with many
of the characters in Scheherazades stories, but his
most stalwart companions are members of his crew,
including Reis his first mate (Brother in Arms) and
Haroun his cabin boy (Also Starring Sea Dog).
Villains
Shahryar can rely on his hot-headed younger brother
Shhzamn (Brutish Bodyguard) to lead his forces,
and secretly makes extensive use of the order of the
Assassins (Deadly Assassins).
11.00 Film
Sinbad and the Valley of the Rocs
Scheherazade tells of Sinbads voyage to

the fabled Valley of the Rocs and his race
to beat Shhzamn to the Heart of the
World, a diamond so large that it rivals in
size the eggs of the giant birds that dwell
there (1970).
Merchant King .............. GEORGE SAUNDERS
Extras
Heroes
Unsurprisingly, Sinbads crew is mostly formed of Sea
Dogs, but occasionally a few Warrior, Palace Guard or
Civilian Extras can be found onboard, depending on
who is travelling with Sinbad at the time.
Villains
Shahryar commonly employs Mercenary, Palace
Guard and Civilian Extras. In addition, he can make
use of the fabled menagerie of his palace and include
Guardian Beast, Giant Scorpion, Giant Snake, Great
Ape and Sabre-tooth Cat Extras, as well as the prize
of his collection, a tamed Roc.
"and there i found

myself, on that desolate
shore, where ships were
wrecked beyond number."
Sinbad, The Sailor
62 | FILM GUIDES
SINBAD
Scheherazade
His many voyages are legendary, but whether facing

the gigantic Rocs or Polyphemus-like Cyclops, it is
Sinbads cunning, bravery and trust in fate that sees
him through.
Widely read of the classics, philosophers and poetics,

Scheherazade's stories become the epic that is the
One Thousand and One Nights, but the truths hidden
within her tales are more real than many know.
An adventurer and sailor, Sinbads true origins are a

mystery known only to him, but when pressed he calls
the city of Al Basrah home. Pressed further, he admits
he squandered the wealth of his mother and father,
and now seeks new fortune and fame too.
Using her gift of storytelling, Scheherazade is able to

escape the fate Shahryar has decreed for his wives.
With the threat of execution at dawn hanging over her,
she ends and begins a new story each night, and thus
enchanted he spares her until she can finish.

Roc
Scheherazade breaks this bitter cycle by entertaining

Territorial in nature, stealing a Rocs egg is a

herculean task, but a bird hatched from such a marvel
can be taught and trained to obey.
Ruler of the Persian Sassanid Empire, Shahryar

is a cruel and ruthless tyrant, most dramatically
exemplified by ordering the execution of each of his
wives for the morning after their wedding.
An enormous, predatory bird, the Roc is known of

in many cultures and in many stories. Even small

Protected from the outside world, life in the Caliphs

palace is all she has ever known, but with The Vizier

marriage, it has also become her prison.

THE VIzIER
THE SHADOW PRINCE
But that is not the end, he now needs the Caliphs

Daughter to realise his full obsession and rewrite
time, making his potential self, the Shadow Prince,
ruler of Baghdad.
Formed of shadow, straddling past, present and

future, the Shadow Prince can never be truly slain, not
while the Vizier lives and seeks to alter the past.
Through years of study and preparation, and the

application of dark arts, the Vizier has gained control
of Baghdad, turning the Caliph into little more than his
unthinking puppet.
Neither alive, nor dead, but a potential that might

yet be, the Shadow Prince is what the Vizier could
have been if the river of time had followed a different
course.

SCENE GUIDE
This chapter deals with the types of scenes,
often called scenarios in other games, that you
can play with 7th Voyage, offering a number
of options to capture that epic celluloid action.
Which
Scene to Play?
It is possible to play a straight up fight between casts,
but it is more fun and recommended that you use one
of the following six scenes to add diversity and an
element of story to the game.
You can either choose one of the six scenes that best
fits the story youd like to play or randomly determine
which one youll use on the table below.

Attacking or Defending cast?
Decide between you which casts will be the Attacking

and which will be the Defending, although in some
scenes, the difference between attacking and
defending may be negligible. If you cant decide, each
cast should roll a dice and the highest gets to make
the choice.
What size of table you should play on is a matter
of personal preference, but 7th Voyage works well
on anything between 2x2 and 4x4. Its suggested
you take into account the Scene rating and size
of the casts youre playing when determining table
dimensions, but for a rough guide, see the Scene
Size table below.

Location
The table could represent any location

appropriate to the casts involved.
Set Up
Both sides roll 1D6 and whoever rolls the

highest chooses a table half and sets up their
models first, anywhere in their chosen half.
The other side sets up their models second,
anywhere in the opposing table half, but no
closer than 8 to any enemy model.
And Action!
Determine Initiative as normal.

There are no additional VPs awarded for this

scene.
68 | SCENE GUIDE
Battle
Synopsis
An out-and-out fight between the heroic and villainous

forces, normally the major turning point in or the
climax of a film. Whether it is the conflict that begins it
all or the final scene in which the palace is stormed,
nothing will be the same after this battle.
Cast
Decide which cast will be Attacking and which will be

Defending, and agree a ratings value for the scene up
to a maximum of 300, both casts receive this amount.
Location
The table could represent any location, from a

battlefield between opposing encampments to two
ships locked together in a boarding action.
Set Up
The Defending cast chooses a table half and sets up

their models first, anywhere in their chosen half and
places their banner. The Attacking cast sets up their
models second, anywhere in the opposing table half,
but no closer than 8 to any enemy model, and places
their banner.
The Last Voyage of Sinbad

With the black ship gaining behind them
and, even at this distance, the challenging
screech of the Roc ringing in their ears,
they knew it was hopeless. Realising that
Shahryar would never cease hounding
them, would chase Scheherazade to the
edge of the world and use every means
at his disposal to recapture her, Sinbad
turned his ship to face their pursuer.
Whatever the outcome, this would be his
final voyage.
Heroes (Defending)
And Action!
Sinbad (Guest Star, 60R), Scheherazade

(Guest Star, 45R), Reis (Also Starring Sea
Dog, 25R), five Palace Guard (three armed
with swords and two armed with bows,
45R), ten Sea Dogs (two armed with axes,
three armed with swords, including a Mate,
and five armed with clubs and throwing
knives, 126R).
Special Rules
Villains (Attacking)

Each side must place a banner in their table half, the
symbol of their belief and strength. An enemy model
that is in base contact with the banner can pull it down
and remove it from play as a special action. Models
within 6 of a friendly banner may re-roll a single
failed Morale test per turn. In addition, models may
not use their Infiltrator special effect and must set up
as normal in this scene, as by now the battle lines
have been clearly drawn and it is too late for such
subterfuge.
Cut
The scene ends when one cast has no active models

in play, or if during the End Phase has lost both their
banner and has to take either a Shaken or Wiped
Out test.
Victory Points
In addition to the normal VPs awarded, a cast receives

+2 VP for pulling down the opposing casts banner.
Shahryar (Guest Star with the Heartstring

Bow and Shield of Darkness, 81R), Roc
(Guest Star, 100R), Guard Commander
(Also Starring Palace Guard, 21R), three
Palace Guard (armed with two-handed
swords, 21R), twelve Palace Guard (six
armed with spears, including a Captain,
and six armed with bows, 65R).
Additional rule: To the last
With nowhere to run the crew of both ships

are determined to fight until the bitter end,
all failed Shaken and Wiped Out tests
can be re-rolled, but the scene still ends if
during the End Phase a cast has lost both
their banner and has to take either test.
SCENE GUIDE | 69
Escape
Synopsis
One cast, usually the heroes, have been caught in

the territory of the opposing cast. Whether theyre
discovered while trying to slip through a market
unseen or attempting to infiltrate a palace or temple,
the original plan has failed and the only course of
action left is to fight and evade capture.
Cast
Decide whether the heroes or the villains will be the

Escaping cast, that cast has a maximum rating of
100. The other becomes the Chasing cast and has a
maximum rating of 150.
Location
The table should represent a busy public space,

ideally a market, temple or the outer precinct of a
palace that the Escaping cast were trying to negotiate.
Plenty of obstacles, such as barrels, crates and stalls,
statues or ornamental gardens, and buildings to climb
and jump between are ideal.
Set Up
The Escaping cast chooses a table edge to be their

escape route. The Chasing cast sets up first, they may
place up to a third of their models, rounding up, in the
table half that is adjacent to the escape route, the rest
of their models must be placed within 6 of the opposite
table edge. The Escaping cast sets up second, they
must place their models in the table half opposite to the
escape route, but no closer than 2 to an enemy model.
And Action!
The Escaping cast gains the Initiative in the first

turn as they make a run for it, but roll for Initiative as
normal in the following turns.
Special Rules
A model in the Escaping cast can move off the table

edge of their chosen escape route. Models doing so
are considered to have escaped, and do not count as
lost when determining Shaken or Wiped Out tests.
Cut

in play.
Victory Points
In addition to the normal VPs awarded, the Escaping

cast receives +1 VP per starting Hit for each model that
has escaped, while the Chasing cast receives +1 VP
per starting Hit for each enemy model with the Captured
status at the end of the scene (this is cumulative with
the usual award for enemy Stars, Co-Stars and Guest
Stars being affected by one or more statuses).
The Rogue of Baghdad and the Caliphs

Daughter are escaping through the citys
busy marketplace and are being chased by
the Viziers guards and the Shadow Prince.
With the Caliph under The Viziers Spell
their only hope is to find a way to break his
mind control, but first they must escape.
Thankfully, the Caliphs Daughter was able
to steal the Viziers treasured Magic Lamp
while fleeing from the palace.
Heroes (Escaping)
The Rogue of Baghdad (Guest Star 50R)

and the Caliphs Daughter (Guest Star with
the Magic Lamp, 46R).
Villains (Chasing)
The Shadow Prince (Guest Star, 50R),

ten Palace Guard (six armed with spears
and four armed with bows, 60R) and two
Shadows (40R).
Additional rule:
Power to the People
The bustling marketplace is filled with

a host of Civilian Extras and, although
none of them will openly oppose the
Viziers guard, they may occasionally
delay, distract or trip up a Palace Guard
Extra. At the start of each End Phase, the
hero player can move up to 1D6 Civilian
Extras up to 6 in any direction. If a Palace
Guard model is activated while in base
contact with a Civilian, they lose their first
action on a 1D6 roll of 5 or 6. Otherwise,
Civilians do not impede movement in any
way and can be moved through as if they
were a member of the same cast. Should
the villain player attack a Civilian then all
hell breaks loose, and the hero player can
move up to 2D6 Civilians at the start of
each End Phase.
70 | SCENE GUIDE
Race
Synopsis
Both casts are attempting to reach the prize, a fabled

and wondrous item, one of the Gifts of the Gods,
before the other cast can claim it. To compound
matters, the location is highly unstable, either the roof
is threatening to collapse or the whole area is about to
disappear beneath the waves at any moment.
Cast

Location
The table should represent a long forgotten and ruined

palace or temple.
Set Up
The Attacking cast chooses a table quarter in the

centre of which the prize should be set up. The
Defending cast then chooses any of the remaining
three table quarters and sets up their models first. The
Attacking cast then chooses any of the remaining two
table quarters and sets up their models second, but
no closer than 8 to any enemy model.
Sinbad and The Eye of the Idol
Some say, that at an appointed time

Poseidon releases Atlantis from its watery
tomb. Those same storytellers tell of Sinbad
and Shahryar racing to claim the ultimate
prize from the cursed city, a diamond,
reputedly as big as an ostrich egg, with the
power of the Sun at its heart. It is a terrible
Gift, not meant for mortals to possess, and
was the cause of Atlantis downfall.
Heroes (Defending)
Sinbad (Guest Star, 60R), Scheherazade

(Guest Star, 45R), eight Sea Dogs (five
armed with swords, including a Mate,
and three armed with clubs and throwing
knives, 93R).
Villains (Attacking)
And Action!
Shahryar (Guest Star with the Horn of the

Hunt and Shield of Darkness, 80R), three
Palace Guard (armed with two-handed
swords, 21R), eight Palace Guard (four
armed with spears and four armed with
bows, 48R) and a Guardian Beast (50R).
Special Rules
Additional rule: The Eye of the Idol
The Attacking cast gains the Initiative in the first

turn as they make a run for it, but roll for Initiative as
normal in the following turns.
Either decide on a suitable Gift or choose one at
random from the Gifts of the Gods deck. This will be
the Gift that is the prize and a suitable representation
should be placed on the table during set up. A model
that is in base contact with the Gift can take it as a
special action. Stars, Co-Stars and Guest Stars may
use the Gift as normal. Should a model carrying the
Gift lose their last Hit, be removed from play, or be
Captured, Dominated or Stunned, then they drop the
Gift where they are.
Cut

in play, or from the End Phase of the third turn
onwards on a 1D6 roll of 4+.
Victory Points
In addition to the normal VPs awarded, the cast with

a model carrying the prized Gift receives +3 VP at the
end of the scene.
Instead of choosing a Gift at random, use

the Eye of the Idol for this scene.
Additional rule: Falling Stones
With the city sinking and breaking apart,

neither cast is safe. At the start of each
End Phase both players roll 1D6. AA
tokens cannot be used on this roll. Whoever
rolls the highest gets to assign where a
number of falling stones will land equal
to the difference between the two rolls.
On a tie, both sides escape unscathed
this turn. Falling stones must be assigned
alternately between casts, so if they first
strike a villainous cast member, they must
then strike a heroic cast member before
another villainous model can be chosen.
Each cascade of stones causes a Str 4 hit
on the model struck.
SCENE GUIDE | 71
Skirmish
Synopsis
Whether it is a planned ambush or a chance

encounter, this minor skirmish takes either one or
both casts by complete surprise.
Cast

Location
The table could represent any location, from a ruined

acropolis to a wild region of countryside, but should
include a variety of terrain from which an ambush
could conceivably be sprung.
Set Up
The Defending cast chooses a table quarter and sets

up their models first, anywhere in their chosen area.
The Attacking cast sets up their models second, in
any two of the three remaining table quarters, but no
closer than 8 to any enemy model.
And Action!
Determine Initiative as normal, but the Attacking cast

may roll an extra die and choose which one to use
when determining Initiative in the first turn.
Special Rules
During the first turn only, at the start of the Action

Phase each cast must make a single Morale test
using the highest Morale value of any active Star,
Co-Star or Guest Star. If this test is passed your cast
are not surprised or hesitant in carrying out the plan
as instructed, and will activate normally. If the test is
failed models in your cast may only take one action
when activated instead of two during the first turn.
Cut

in play.
Victory Points
There are no additional VPs awarded for this scene.
Phineus and the Harpies
Plagued by the Harpies for forsaking the

Gods, Phineus price for aiding Jason
is deliverance from his tormentors. In
exchange for their capture, he promises to
reveal the location of the Fleece and how
to navigate safely through the Clashing
Rocks to obtain it.
Heroes (Attacking)
Jason (Guest Star, 60R), Phineus (Also

Starring Civilian, 19R), six Veterans (three
armed with spears, three armed with
swords, including a Companion, 82R) and
six Psiloi (armed with javelins, 36R).
Villains (Defending)
Podarge (Also Starring Harpy, armed with

an axe, 37R), 7 Harpies (two armed with
axes, two armed with spears, three armed
with bows, 154R).
Additional rule: Cowardly Birds
As Podarge is only an Also Starring Extra,

she cant be used for taking Shaken or
Wiped Out Morale tests, nor any other
Morale test requiring an active Star, CoStar or Guest Star.
Additional rule: Its A Trap!
In addition to their javelins, all of Jasons

Psiloi Extras are armed with Nets (5+).
72 | SCENE GUIDE
SLAY
Synopsis
One cast is seeking to assassinate or defeat a mortal

or monster in the opposing cast. Whether it is a
personal vendetta or the culmination of a quest, they
mean to confront and defeat their enemy at all costs.
Cast

to a maximum of 300. Both casts receive this amount.
Location
The table could represent any location, from a long

forgotten and ruined temple to a bustling and well
guarded palace, but there should be a focal point near
the centre that can be defended.
Set Up
The Defending cast chooses a table quarter. The

Attacking cast sets up their models first, in the
opposite table quarter, but no closer than 8 to the
centre of the table. The Defending cast sets up their
models second, in their chosen table quarter.
And Action!
Special Rules
The Attacking cast must nominate a model in the

Defending cast, either a Star, Co-Star, Guest Star
or an Extra with 3 Hits or more and the Fearsome
special effect, to be the focus of their attack.
Cut

in play.
Victory Points
In addition to the normal VPs awarded, the Attacking

cast receives +3 VP if their nominated model is
eliminated, while the Defending cast receives +3 VP
if the nominated model is still active at the end of the
scene.
GORGON!
Having reached the gates of Medusas

sanctum, accompanied by his
companions and their attendants,
Perseus now faces one last test to satisfy
Polydectes - claiming the Gorgons head.
Entering the ruined acropolis, Perseus
and his men must steel themselves
against the horrors within.
Heroes (Attacking)
Perseus (Guest Star, 70R), Pegasus

(Guest Star, 30R), five Veterans (armed
with swords and including a Commander,
70R) and five Psiloi (30R).
Medusa (Guest Star, 100R), two Giant

Snakes (40R) and four Swarms (60R).
Additional rule:
A Garden of Statues
Medusas sanctum is littered with statues, in

various states of repair, unfortunate victims
that have fallen foul of her charms. The
villainous player can place 1D6 complete
statues as the scene is being set up.
These statues must not be placed within 6
of another, but can be placed anywhere on
the table. A heroic cast member within 2
of one of these statues cannot re-roll failed
Morale tests under any circumstances, so
disturbed are they by the horrific reminder
of the fate that awaits them.
"was my punishment just and well earned?

you are as much their plaything as i, perseus."
Medusa, The Gorgon
SCENE GUIDE | 73
STEAL
Synopsis
One cast is attempting to steal a fabled and wondrous

item, one of the Gifts of the Gods, that is being
guarded by the opposing cast.
Cast

to a maximum of 300. Both casts receive this amount.
Location
The table could represent any location, from a long

forgotten and ruined temple to a bustling and well
guarded palace, but there should be a focal point near
the centre in which to place the Gift.
Set Up
The Defending cast sets up first, anywhere on the

table, but no closer than 8 to any table edge, and
places the Gift theyre guarding in the centre of this
area. The Attacking cast sets up second, anywhere
within 4 of any table edge.
And Action!
Special Rules
Either decide on a suitable Gift or choose one at

random from the Gifts of the Gods deck. This will be
the Gift being guarded by the Defending cast and a
suitable representation should be placed in the centre
of the table. A model in the Attacking cast that is in base
contact with the Gift can take it as a special action.
Stars, Co-Stars and Guest Stars may use the Gift as
normal. Should a model carrying the Gift lose their last
Hit, be removed from play, or be Captured, Dominated
or Stunned, then they drop the Gift where they are. If
the Gift is dropped, any model in base contact from
either cast may take it as a special action.
Cut

in play.
Victory Points

model carrying the guarded Gift receives +3 VP at the
end of the scene.

74 | SCENE GUIDE
LOCATION manager
Games of 7th Voyage can take place in all
manner of locations dusty ruins, grand
palaces, lost islands, jungles or deserts.
Our published scenes will sometimes dictate the terrain
to be set out before play. But if youre setting up a
quick game, you can use the following table to allocate
suitable scenery before you start playing. Use the basic
overall terrain type to determine which column to roll
on, then roll 2D6 on the Random Terrain table for
each square foot of table space you have.
Each item of terrain generated should be placed in its
own 12 square, although you can join similar items
of terrain together with neighbouring items to create
larger scenic items.
Random Terrain table
Each item of terrain should be about 6 square,

although you can amend to what you have so 4 x
8 is also fine. Linear items such as walls, ditches and
hedges can be up to 12 x 2. The terrain descriptions
will specify if an item of terrain should have other
dimensions.
If you dont have a particular item of terrain, either
agree with your opponent on another piece or roll
again. Feel free to amend the table below to suit the
terrain you can get your hands on. And dont forget
you can always fill spaces with small items of scatter
terrain trees, rocks, barrels or crates depending on
your location.
If you know what kind of location you want to battle
over then you can use the following rules and tables
to generate a table full of scenery to play on.

Terrain Descriptions
Arena
Bloody entertainment can be found here. Arenas are

open areas enclosed by high walls with little or no
cover. You may include Animals of up to 30 ratings,
which will activate and charge and/or attack the nearest
model within 6 before the first players Action Phase.
Back Alleys
Narrow and winding back streets provide short cuts

and escape routes for those with local knowledge.
Alleys should be no more than 2 wide. If you include
a Back Alley section on the table, each player must
roll 1D6 in each End Phase. If they roll a 1, remove
one Luck token from their pool as they fall foul of a
cutpurse.
Broken Ground
Crevasse
A crevasse is a deep narrow crack in the ground.

Crevasses run the length of the section, and will
usually be 3 across and 3 levels (6 down) if they
are unable to be modelled on the table. They can be
jumped or models can climb down and then back up
the other side. Use the rules for Climbing on page 12,
but if any model rolls a 1 when attempting their Agi
test, the model either falls to their death, or becomes
stuck, and is removed from the game.
Forest
Areas of either stunted or verdant trees, forests are best

realised by delineating the area on the table surface with
either a felt or board base, or an outline of lichen. Place
enough trees within this area to give the impression
of a decent woodland. Areas of forest are counted as
rough ground for movement purposes and provide
cover (-1 to hit cover penalty) to models within them.
Grove
This is a scattered area of boulders and outcropping

rocks the bones of the earth are barely below the
surface in this part of the world. Broken ground is
counted as rough ground for movement purposes.
Olive gardens, fig trees and public gardens provide

some seclusion and shade for residents. Groves are
counted as rough ground for movement purposes
and provide cover (-1 to hit cover penalty) to models
within them.
City Gate/Wall
Harbour
Clearing
Hill
City entrances awe visitors with their impregnable

defences or towering statues, testament to the power
of their rulers. They are impassable to those on
the outside, but also provide cover (1 to hit cover
penalty) and highpoints for the citys protectors to
watch over all those who pass through them.
This area is naturally or artificially clear of the
undergrowth prevalent on the rest of the table. Roll 1D6;
on the roll of 5+ you can place a single item of scenery
in the centre of this area, such as an idol, ruin, pile of
bones etc. There should be no other items of scenery
in this area except at the very edges of this section.
Cliff/Glacier
A sheer face of rock at least 2 levels (4) high. You

can either decide to have the cliff as the edge of the
table, or as part of a large hill. In any case the cliff
should extend for at least the entire 12 section. Cliffs
count as impassable to models on foot, although they
can be ascended or descended by Climbing (see
page 12).
Ocean trade routes are the lifeblood of the ancient

world. Docks are alive with merchants, sailors and
travellers ready to ply their wares. The water within 2
of the edge of the harbour counts as rough ground.
Beyond this point will require models to swim (see
page 12).
This rise affords a commanding view, and everyone
knows higher ground is a good place to be. To see
how big your hill is, roll 1D6. On the roll of 5+ you can
have a large hill with two levels, otherwise its a single
level rise. Up to half of the slopes on your hill can
either be rough ground (scree) or impassable (steep
rocky slopes). Depending on the space atop your hill
you might want to roll again to see if it contains any
more terrain.
Lost Temple
This can be an interior or exterior location full of

crumbling columns, gargantuan statues and often
the lair of some stop motion horror. If your opponent
agrees, you can roll 1D6 to see what the temple
contains: 12 nothing; 34 one random Gift of the
Gods card; and 56 as 34, but guarded by Stop
Motion models or Animals of up to 50 ratings, which
will activate and charge and/or attack the nearest
model within 6 before the first players Action Phase.
76 | SCENE GUIDE
Market Square
Markets are busy centres of commerce packed

with traders and shoppers. A busy market may be
considered rough ground in some circumstances.
This table section should include at least 1D6 items of
scatter terrain (pots, crates, stalls and carts).
Native Traps
Dangerous traps to capture or kill animals or

trespassing explorers litter this area. Place 3 suitable
markers face down in this section, no closer than 4
from each other to mark the traps. Roll 1D6 when
models move within 2 of any marker; on 4+ the
trap goes off and they suffer a Str 3 hit remove the
marker.
Open Ground
This area is flat and mainly featureless, although not

entirely devoid of interest. Feel free to scatter some
boulders to allow models to get some cover while
crossing it.
Palace Gardens
Quiet reflecting pools, secluded arbors and manicured

flower beds seem a world away from the dusty city
outside their high, protected walls. These provide
plenty of shade for pampered princesses and lots of
cover for thieves and assassins.
Pool
This standing water can be clear and inviting, or

murky and choked with weeds. The water within 2 of
the edge of the pool counts as rough ground. Beyond
this point will require models to swim (see page 12).
Ridge
A ridge is a long low rise, about 12 x 46. The

long edge rises in a gentle slope before abruptly
ending in a rocky cliff face which counts as rough or
impassable terrain.
River
This water feature is either natural or man-made, but

should be between 2-4 wide. Rivers stretch the entire
length or width of the table. Canals will do the same
on the 1D6 roll of 4+, otherwise they terminate where
rolled, with one of the other ends going off the table
edge. Roll again to see what other scenic features are
adjacent to the river or canal for each 12 of its length,
table space permitting.
Models with the Aquatic special effect can ignore the
movement penalties for being in the water.
Ruins
The crumbling remains of a previous dwelling await

the reclamation of nature. These ruins comprise
1D3+1 sections of wall and possibly parts of a second
storey and roof, along with scattered rubble. Add a
tree and some bushes, or have it half buried beneath
the sand a perfect hideout or lair.
Slums
Tightly packed dwellings made from whatever detritus

the poor occupants can muster make for a busy and
ramshackle table. Slums are poorly constructed and
walls can be broken through with a successful Str test.
Shrine
Shrines to deities and ancient heroes are

commonplace in the ancient world. Place 1 Luck
token by a Shrine. The first player to make base
contact may claim this blessing.
Swamp
Dry land gives way to choked and lily-filled water in

the wet swamp of this section. If any adjacent area
contains any water features, the swamp will continue to
that feature. Areas of swamp count as rough ground.
Tangled Undergrowth
This area of terrain contains several wild thickets

of thorny and impassable bushes. The tangled
undergrowth both blocks line of sight, and prevents
any movement through it.
Temple
Temples are focal points of worship and are often built

on sacred grounds. Models within a temple may add
a further +1 bonus to the result of any Spells they
attempt to perform.
Track
A 24 wide trail traverses through this section,

extending to the table edge or some other relevant
terrain feature. The trail counts as open ground, but
roll for the terrain type(s) the track runs through.
Tunnels and Catacombs
Cities are built upon layers of ancient habitation and

ruins, and are often riddled with ancient sewers and
catacombs. Place two tokens in opposite quarters
of the table within 4 of any table edge. By spending
a special action and passing a successful Int test
the model may move freely between the two points.
Failure means the model remains where they are.
Village
1D3+2 dwellings of the appropriate type stand in the

centre of this section. Any other scenery present in
this area should be placed only at the very edges of
the settlement.

CLOSING CREDITS
Utilising Graeme and Karls action:engine, which
provides a basis to create and play tabletop miniature
skirmishes for almost every genre, 7th Voyage is
intended to streamline the system for games inspired
by stop motion movies, fantasy and action-adventure
programmes.
From the outset, we decided melee should be more
important than shooting in 7th Voyage to reflect the
action and swashbuckling nature of the genre, and
new weapon rules such as Brutal, Parry and Thrust,
and special effects such as Shield reflect this. With
powerful creatures and monsters appearing in most
scenes, rules such as Shield also help to increase
the life expectancy of mortals, giving some models
at least a chance to survive the crushing blows of a
Giant or Minotaur.
In 7TV, models flee from Fearsome opponents and,
if they cant get away, are automatically removed from
the game. This could be devastating in 7th Voyage
with so many frightening models potentially in play. At
worst it could make for one-sided games that would
be over quickly, or bizarre games of Extra pinball,
as models flee back and forth between Fearsome
beasties. Because of this we introduced the Scared
status, which lowers a model's chance to hit and
Morale, and prohibits their movement, at least towards
Fearsome models, but doesnt send them running or
straight off the table.
Magic, both Gifts and Spells, is the greatest addition
to 7th Voyage. In the case of Spells, we have tried
A word from our sponsors...
I love Stop Motion movies. Back in the day, you

got your special effects via beautifully hand-crafted
models and painstaking attention to detail. It's
testament to the artists that created these celluloid
gems, that they look as magical to me today as they
did back on a August afternoon in 1977.
And I suspect it's that love of tiny recreated worlds
that drew me to miniature wargaming. So combining
the two has been any idea I've had for many years.
And it seems I'm not alone, because Mr Gibbs
shared the same passion and seemed to quite like
the challenge of adapting the action:engine for the
mythic fantasy world. I think he's done a cracking job!
to make them distinct from Otherworldly special

effects. In general they are more powerful, but include
limitations such as a difficulty value and in some
cases being one use only, as well as an element of
risk with a model potentially forfeiting its remaining
actions. Gifts on the other hand provide many special
effects and abilities not normally accessible to most
models, as well as improving existing ones. Available
to any cast with Gift of the Gods that pays the ratings
cost, we have tried to balance Gifts by making them
unique, so that if more than one cast selects the same
one, they cancel each other out.
One of the most difficult areas of the new magic rules
was animating and summoning. Being able to breathe
life into statues or cause skeletons to erupt from the
ground is an essential part of the genre, but could
easily unbalance the game by creating models from
nowhere. Hopefully our solution, purchasing models
and then bringing them into play via magic, solves this
while still maintaining both theme and game balance.
Nothing is set in stone though, and these rules are
intended to be a starting point for your own games, a
means to build your own scenes and stories, and we
hope you will enjoy creating, playing and telling them.
Special thanks to Graeme and Karl, for letting me play
in their world, all of the playtesters for their insightful
feedback, Helena for proofreading, and most of all
Vicky, for everything.
