Title: New Savage Worlds Edition on Kickstarter
Post by: bbmike on October 17, 2018, 06:17:01 AM: The new edition of Savage Worlds, Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/545820095/savage-worlds-adventure-edition?ref=email), is on Kickstarter. 28 days to go and $184K of $15K needed. I think they might make it!

I don't mind the updated rulebook, but I don't need the gold-foil-edged, alligator-hide-bound, soy-ink, cruelty-free paper archival deluxe limited mega super exclusive ultimate edition book.

Just give me a playable paperback and all the toys to go with it, and I'm good.

Post by: bbmike on December 09, 2018, 10:02:49 AM: The PDF has dropped for Kickstarter backers! Looks like I have 210 pages of goodness to look through.

Post by: Cyrano on December 09, 2018, 12:13:37 PM: Two hundred pages?

Try well over 1,000.

They threw a TON of older stuff into the free .pdf. I have a lot of it, but it's nice to have an electronic version. Particularly pleased to get the "Hell on Earth: Reloaded" stuff.

As for the new rules, the "free" skill package is brilliant. I am angry at myself for not figuring it out as it always bothered me that those who didn't, for example, pay for "Notice" could only try at a 1d4/2 (if memory serves).

Just pointing out its remarkable value-for-dollar...

Oh, yeah, right...

Nevermind.

Uh, yeah, it SUCKS. Really sucks. Probably wouldn't want "Deadlands: Noir" either...

I was never a big fan of Deadlands. Not at mechanics issue, mind you, I just don't enjoy the Wild West as an RPG environment. I played the old Boot Hill, too, so it's not like I didn't try along the way. Just not my cup of tea.
