Early Interest Check: Savage Worlds Fantasy

I'm prepping a new campaign world for a Savage Worlds Fantasy campaign. The first adventure is an homage to (not a duplicate of) the Caves of Chaos. I will be using the SWADE ruleset and the SWADE Fantasy Companion. I've not yet decided which setting rules will be in effect, but it will be high adventure with lots of heroic options. The invitation is still about a month (possibly two) away, but I am thinking on it.

I would be interested. I played a couple one-shots a few years back but loved SWADE.

I think that it would be interesting to try.

In case anyone is interested, here is the campaign area map.

I would love to play another Savage Worlds game.

I am interested in the game, especially with you DMing, but I think I am at my limit of games currently ☹️

I've been looking at learning SWADE, specifically for a fantasy setting. If you're willing to have a novice in your game, I'd be happy to join.

Oh come on, one more won't hurt. It's wafer thin...

Happy to bring new people into the Savage Worlds fold!

Okay, looks like there's interest, so I'll keep working and hope to have it ready in a few weeks. I'll post a proper recruitment when I'm ready.

Woot

Hi, Im New To TTrpg and PbP Thing. Im Interest About This SWADE (which Version?). Im From Malaysia. If You Can, You Can Invite me go your Game.

Well, I'm not ready for players just yet, but when I get there, I will post a recruiting thread. SWADE refers to Savage Worlds ADventure Edition, the latest edition of Savage Worlds. If you are considering playing in this game, I strongly suggest that you get the free Savage Worlds Test Drive rules and get a feel for the mechanics before you join.

😂 Well when you put it that way 🍫💥👍🏻

Sounds like the game prep is going to go ahead, but I'll put in my interest as well!

I love me some swade and your GM'ing WhtKnt, but up to my eyeballs in fantasy based games atm. If you ever run something from the updated horror or scifi companions though, I'm down. Really would like to take those for a spin.

Keep watching. I've been jonesing for some sci-fi, and I may have to give it a spin after the new one is settled. I've been working on a universe with over 25 custom alien species!

Wow. Lots of company. Better purchase extra ammo. :)

Wow. Lots of company. Better purchase extra ammo. :)

Well, We have 8 of us (9 if you count GM) this is Gonna be Tough for GM😅

Im also VERY interested in SCI-FI SWADE, be it a future game -> no problem, I can wait:)

If you suddenly have too much interest, I'll make it easy and let you prioritize the other when the time comes. Already playing and running Savage Worlds, only fair to give someone else a chance.

I'm going to have to narrow the field, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.

Those of you interested in sci-fi, what kind of campaign are you looking for? Intrigue, action, exploration, criminal activities, trade, what? In a fantasy campaign, it's usually pretty straightforward. You are adventurers, so you seek adventure. In sci-fi, things can get murky. So, those of you wanting sci-fi, what kind of campaign are you expecting?

A Sci-fi as rouge traders, the likes of Firefly 🪰

Firefly is classic and always very welcome, add to this some visiting of new, exotic worlds, meeting some alien species or exploring their mysterious artifacts or ruins that works in unexpected way... and -> we have a perfect game for me :D

So something like mix between my favorite shows/movies: Firefly, Interstellar, Expanse with some aspects of Stargate(the movie, as I haven't seen the series yet), Contact (1997), Prometheus (exploring the alien ship and mysteries, not fighting aliens) added to the mix.

Regarding sci-fi, I'll add in Cowboy Bebop as well for inspiration. Seeing as there is a chapter on mechs, something akin to Mechwarrior/Battletech would also be neat (but not required).

Yes! Giant mechs are great! And I always thought that Firefly was an inspiration for Cowboy Bebop? But I may be... hallucinating things ;-D

Firefly is what you get when your players can't agree if you're playing Traveller or a western. Cowboy Bebop is what you get when you tell the creator "it just has to have cool spaceships" and he played in that campaign.

I think Cowboy Bebop actually predates Firefly.

Cowboy Bebop predates Firefly by about four years. I admit that I'm not at all familiar with Cowboy Bebop, but I have seen every episode of Firefly multiple times. Joss Whedon has confirmed that Firefly was based on a tabletop RPG he played in college. He has not stated which RPG that was, but most people assume it to be Traveller. Since this can lead to some interesting discussion, I have built a new thread dealing with this topic here.

all of the above sound like great sci-fi settings. Ive played a decent amount of Ironsworn Starforged, which is fairly close to Firefly in tone. I like a good mix of narrative, and dice rolling.

Haven't much experience with Savage Worlds, but had a good look at Deadlands, as maybe @ctme2000 can attest.

Savage Worlds has its share of sci-fi settings, depending on your jam (Deadlands: Lost Colony, Flash Gordon, Space 1889, The Last Parsec, Fear Agent, and I'm sure a few others I'm missing). The updated sci-fi companion came with an additional book that has five pre-written adventures, each story using a different subgenre (think Star Trek, neuromancer, the expanse, event horizon, Mechwarrior, etc) to give you an idea of how adaptable the rules can be.
