You basically have three approaches to this trash fights. One ditch them entirely. Two combine them into larger fights as individually none of trash fights are significant on their own but combined they can be. Third you can use the Quick Encounter and Dramatic Task systems to get through them...

Sometimes. Also used for meta-currency, tracking rounds, makeshift clocks and any other ad-doc thing I need them for. Also gives me something tactile to fidget with.

Last time I looked at it I was going to use as a follow on from LMoP. I had plans to seed some of the areas around Phandelver and along the roads the signs of elemental cult activities. @Staffan suggestion of breaking the dungeon into smaller, more discrete chunks is a great idea.

In the 3.x/PF1 play I use a lot of tactics to help with the combat speed issue. Busy people only have so much time to play. Once we get to the mop up phase or we know the outcome of a fight we’ll truncate it. Monsters only has as many hit pints as they need to make a combat interesting or...

SWADE Supers is firmly grounded in mechancal effects. You might define the trappings but there’s a number attached to them that means something. From my very limited knowledge and experience the feeling I get from most Supers systems is the higher the degree of power or the more you are...

I’m not really a comic book guy so I don’t run Supers. I just don’t feel like I have enough of a handle in the genre tropes. If I did it would probably be something closer to street level heroes and I think the SWADE Super Powers Companion would handle that just fine. Even something like...

After think about this for a couple of days I think can get things down to: Savage Worlds to handle anything action/pulp oriented regardless of genre. GURPS to handle anything needing realism/simulationism regardless of genre. I might be convinced to swap this for EABA or BRP/Mythras though...

We play over Foundry and it can handle card draws and Bennie’s. Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds both also handle card draws organically.

I’m starting an online Savage Pathfinder game myself. Waiting for my players to decide what AP they want to play (of the five choices sent them).

Before his passing the creator made arrangements with Pinnacle for them to take over savaged.us.

They reference Call of Cthulhu both in the Cosmic Horror section on page 50 where they talk about ways to run Cosmic Horror games in SWADE utilizing various setting rules including Difficult Healing, Gritty Damage and various new Setting Rules introduced in the Horror Companion. They are...

I was just pointing there was some guidance available to build encounters.

Page 234 of Savage Pathfinder has a chart with ideas for combat encounter balance. For instance a ‘weaker’ encounter is a Wild Card leader plus 3-4 extra per hero.

About two months ago one of my irl players (and creator of savaged.us) died of cancer. I was talking to his widow and she had no idea what to do with his 40 years of rpg and tabletop wargaming stuff. I told her when she’s ready to give me a call and I’d help her out with it. I do not want my...

I’ve been contemplating another purge for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to figure think in terms of what I will actually run (SWADE, GURPS 4e, PF1, WHFRP/IM) vs. things I’ve bought for reference or because they are pretty (Free Leagues stuff, Numenera etc). Ideally I’d like to get...
