The new edition of Savage Worlds, Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, is on Kickstarter. 28 days to go and $184K of $15K needed. I think they might make it!

See, I might have to just pledge the minimum, and then add on the accessories, like the tokens & decks of cards. 

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.

I'm certain I'll end up adding more goodies to this at some point.  :bigthumb:

I really wish I had the spare change to dunk into it.  It's got all the kinds of toys & trinkets I"d want, but let's be honest, don't get near enough time to play them....

The PDF has dropped for Kickstarter backers! Looks like I have 210 pages of goodness to look through.

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).

True, I was shocked at all of the other PDFs that were there.  8)

No, no, no...

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.

Noir is Roaring 20s, but, yeah, in the fiction.
