Savage Worlds

Postby Captain Thark » Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:20 pm

Okay, so my Real RPGs thread is degenerating into 'Whose house are we playing at' and there's a thread called GURPS so I thought I'd dedicate a thread to my favorite game system: Savage Worlds.
See I'm not the biggest GURPS fan in world, it just take too freaking long to make characters for me to like it, so Savge Worlds is my system of choice.
It's character creation takes 30 mins tops for everyone to make charcters. It's combat system is both easy to learn and fun to play. It's powers system is so flexible you can use it for everything from mages to psions to mad scientists.
The settings are great too, they've got one for zombie cowboys (Deadlands), one for pirates (50 Fathoms and even one for irradiated twinkies (Low Life). I've had more fun with the core book than all of my other games combined.
If your interested they've put up the basic rules for free on their site. Check it out here:http://www.peginc.com/Games/Savage%20Worlds/Downloads/SW%20Rev/TestDrive4.pdf

I have posted this hoping to convert a few other posters to it's glorious ways, and I'd really like to hear what you think of the test drive rules. (Oh, and guys? Let's try to keep this from going on about what time we're playing and stuff, although I think all would apriciate any game stories you have.)
This sword calls me it's master, but I feel more like it's slave.

I think that Neccesary Evil is my favorite, I really like the power system, you can do all most anything. For example my characters are: A homicidal, regenerating robot with a katana, an evil doctor with the power to kill things with a touch, and a super-powered ninja.
