I can understand the drive to download the rules early and check them out. Truth be told, there was a time not long ago when I might have considered doing the same thing. But as it stands, I voted to not download but definitely read the spoilers. At this point, I'm okay with waiting the two more...

As a thought, the Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition, the most recent version of the Savage Worlds rules, only costs $10 and there's a complete game system in those 160 pages. Just A Thought, Flynn

Good Morning, All: I don't know about you guys, but I like to collect short adventure ideas. I may not always use them as presented, but I do enjoy collecting the better ones, just in case. For example, sometimes when your game has reached the end of an adventure, and you need a little action...

If you want to stick with the D20 System, I would recommend checking out Grim Tales, by Bad Axe Games. It can easily handle the range you are talking about. If you decide to try Gneech's suggestion regarding Star Wars Saga Edition, I'd also recommend you check out Fantasy Concepts to help with...

The Mass Battle rules are great for resolving the big battles that stand in the way of moving your story forward. I agree, I wouldn't use them to end a campaign, but perhaps to get through the big battle to the point where the players can play out that final confrontation, if I needed to. I...

Rel and Neil: Thank you both for posting. I greatly appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you are enjoying the posts. I hope they help you guys with your games, and I'm always open to discussing the details here. With Warm Regards, Flynn

Good Morning, Ragboy: Truth be told, and my players will tell you, I've always been a little behind the curve on treasure. I just don't tend to give it out. With Savage Worlds, being a new system to me, I have erred on the side of even slower treasure rewards. I use a silver standard and tend...

Session Notes - 04/02/08 Good Morning, All: Last night, we had a full table once again. Despite a late start and a somewhat early end, we managed to pack a lot of fun into a 2.5 hour session. The quote that people have made of "4 hours of gaming, 20 minutes of fun" isn't too far off with a...

I'll buy the first three core rulebooks (PHB1, MM1, DMG1) whether 4E is closed or open. My reason is simple: one of my friends will be running a 4E game someday, and I'll want to play. Therefore, I may as well have the basic rules. However, I've already decided that the only books I'll buy...

I suspect that I will not regard any book as core (save the original three books in June) unless the material within it is opened to the OGL/GSL/whatever-L for third party publishers. That has become my definition in regards to what I'm going to pick up for 4E. If it isn't open for third-party...

Another Playtest Run... Good Morning, All: Yesterday I ran the 4E playtest adventure "Raiders of Oakhurst" for the local D&D Meetup group. Five players participated, covering all of the pregens save for the Halfling Paladin. We had a lot of fun, and the players enjoyed the game overall. More...

Cam: I came away with the same feelings myself when I ran "Raiders of Oakhurst" yesterday afternoon. Yeah, the stats are little different, but all in all, it plays more or less like other versions of D&D, at least from the DM's perspective. With Regards, Flynn

Good Morning, All: Has anyone created a one-page summary sheet of all the powers available to the Pregen characters for a DM to use as a reference during the game? I am running a 4E preview adventure tomorrow, and I think a sheet like this would be great for answering questions or making...

I'm a big fan of putting a tattoo or secret mark (maybe a ring or something) on the body of the minion. In the next adventure, the assassin comes, with the same mark upon him. At that point, the PCs know that there's something up, and start looking for the mark. Doing so will lead them to the...

Session Notes - 03/26/08 Good Morning, All: Another week has gone by, and it's time for another update on my Savage Worlds fantasy campaign. Yesterday, we were down one player, as he had been involved in a car accident yesterday afternoon and couldn't make it. (He's okay, just on some pain...

I've been enjoying using Savage Worlds to play a D&D-style fantasy campaign. The flavor is very "old school", and the players are enjoying themselves immensely. I've even been documenting my progress here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=213056 I've also done the same with HERO System...

You can find a list of Official (and some Unofficial) monsters, as well as the products they are detailed in, here at the Savagepedia: http://savagepedia.wikispaces.com/Monsters+and+Mooks I hope it helps with your conversion effort. With Regards, Flynn

Simply put, if I'm running, I'd use Grim Tales. If I'm not, it's whatever the DM is using. However, DM prep issues being the reason I left v3.5, I have to admit it would be a slim chance that I'll be in the position of running, so it would be whatever the DM wants to use. With Regards, Flynn

Through the power of Google Fu, I have found a working link here: http://www.zombienirvana.com/savage/SavageBeasts.pdf Hope That Helps, Flynn

Torillan: The creation of a Savage Worlds Pathfinder conversion seems to be a popular topic lately. While I cannot answer for SavageRobby on this matter, I have offered the following advice to another GM before on the subject. I hope that it helps you as well. As far as the mechanics go, bear...
