I've already converted the D&D races, but WotBS also has "seela". They're pretty difficult to convert, but I took my best shot: Seela • Low Light Vision (+1): Seela have exceptional night vision, and ignore penalties for Dim and Dark lighting. • Fae Charm (+1): Although they've lost much of...

Thanks! It's worth noting that WotBS also references other D&D monsters, which aren't explicitly listed in the bestiary. You should be able to find most of them using my Monster Finder - for example the dog and dire weasel from act 1, the lantern archon from act 2, etc. I'll probably copy them...

Something that really hasn't converted very well is the units of 20 troops. In theory they could be treated like swarms, but I think this is one of the situations where a direct conversion isn't going be appropriate. Savage Worlds was originally based on a tabletop wargame, and it's...

Now that I've reached 10 posts, I'm allowed to include links, so here's what I've been working on for the last two days: Savage War of the Burning Sky Bestiary My conversion tool was able to handle the lion's share of the work, with only some minor changes for recognising a new input format...

The conversion is coming along nicely, and my eventual goal is to turn it into a PDF, although I'm still trying to decide how best to handle it - the most likely outcome is that I'll split the content into multiple PDFs. The setting rules, new Edges, races, archetypes and general conversion...

Knowledges In Savage Worlds, the available Knowledge skills are tailored to each individual setting. Only subjects that are important to the setting should have their own Knowledge skill, everything else comes under Common Knowledge (a Smarts roll), with a modifier depending on the character's...

In this post I'll give a quick breakdown of the non-core Edges I'm using in the archetypes mentioned earlier. Natural Weapons is from Savage Armoury, although for the monk you could just use Martial Artist instead. Summon Familiar is an Edge I'm still working on. For now, you could substitute...

In this post I'll elaborate on the setting rules I'm using for my campaign. I also use Savage Armoury for weapons and armour, and Savage Spellbook for spells. Arcane Spell Failure Instead of suffering Backlash when you roll 1 on your arcane skill die, you suffer Backlash whenever your...

The following is my conversion of the mechanics in the War of the Burning Sky Player's Guide. New Edges The Player's Guide contains a number of new Feats and class abilities. I've attempted to keep the general flavour of them with my conversions (please see the original document for the...

One of the more important things the conversion will need to deal with is the Difficulty Class for skill checks and saving throws. In D&D you get a flat bonus, so progression is linear, but Savage Worlds primarily uses different die types. The approach that most Savages would suggest is to...

Savage Worlds doesn't have classes, but it's common for settings to offer archetypes - pregens with the Hindrances (and occasionally a few skills) missing. They're ideal for players who aren't sure what sort of character they want to play, and the available archetypes can also help set the tone...

As I'm going to be using the default setting for War of the Burning Sky, I decided to convert the D&D races. The Savage Worlds Deluxe rulebook (as well as the Fantasy Companion) have a number of fantasy races which could be used instead, but I'd prefer to keep as much of the flavour as possible...

I've already put together some conversion guidelines for the Player's Guide, although I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to post them here? It's pure crunch, none of the actual text has been copied (other than names), so players will still need to download the Player's Guide as well. My...

Someone recently informed me that War of the Burning Sky is now available for $10. I read up on it and it looks great, so I grabbed a copy - and I'm really impressed. It's exactly the sort of campaign I've been wanting to run for years. However there's a catch; I'm a die-hard Savage Worlds fan...
