    [UPDATED] Looking At Savage Worlds Rifts

    Really looking forward to this one. I've always felt one of the big advantages of Savage Worlds is the ten dollar core book. You can do almost anything with it, and it's such a tiny buy-in compared to a lot of RP systems. It never bothered me a bit when a setting referred to it rather than...

    Brainstorming for tomorrow's Star Wars session

    Sounds like both sides would be unable to space battle at that point. Is this the climax of the short campaign? I'd be very tempted to have at least one of the ships explode, just for the additional drama and environmental impact on the battle. Or maybe have them explode after some time, to...

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    Maybe I'm weird, but my first thought when I read about this was how much it would benefit TOR. I think this will be a great way for Cubicle 7 to increase their resources as a company, and then put some of those resources into developing Middle Earth, in both rulesets. I honestly think that if...

    BUBBLEGUMSHOE - Not So Hard Boiled Teen Detectives From Evil Hat

    Loved those books, read them over and over! I still have a few, but they're difficult to find.

    BUBBLEGUMSHOE - Not So Hard Boiled Teen Detectives From Evil Hat

    A good idea for a new GUMSHOE angle, and the first (I think) non-Pelgrane GUMSHOE book. Looks great!

    Need a good one off rpg session for a family game

    I've had great time running Savage Worlds Ghostbusters, and it works well as a one shot. There's a fantastic number of resources for a game here: http://greywolf.critter.net/ghostbusters.htm, including a scenario, but of course other scenarios would be pretty easy to come up with. In this...

    Fishing for a new system

    I can help out too if you have any questions, in addition to the above volunteers. I've run 50 Fathoms, Iron Dynasty, Ghostbusters, and other stuff using Savage Worlds (all online with Fantasy Grounds) and had a great time. I don't post a lot, but I'm up here on the Forums almost every day...

    Dark Tower: The Original Fantasy Troop Simulator

    The photo above isn't what I remember the Dark Tower game being. I had one that had a black electronic more Orthanc-like tower in the middle. Fun game, if I remember correctly. Like this: http://www.icheg.org/blog/chegheads/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Dark-Tower-Board-Game.jpg Honestly...

    Which Games Were Most Played On FANTASY GROUNDS In 2015? (Hint: D&D!)

    I'd be tempted to use FG for an in person Savage Worlds game just for the combat tracker, but I could also put together images and maps etc. Nice to see community rulesets like FFG Star Wars getting some good play.

    Why Aren't Designers Using The GUMSHOE System?

    I agree with Umbran for the most part. GUMSHOE does what it does very well, and has covered most of its bases with the released settings. About the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that I'd like to see from GUMSHOE would be a Dresden type Urban Fantasy setting, and I'm not...

    It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like RAVENLOFT

    In the gothic "Accursed" setting for Savage Worlds, the bad monsters have won, and have monsterized the characters against their will. As characters level, along with rebelling against their monstrous overlords (or working for them I suppose), they each will choose whether to embrace their...

    Savage Worlds: Rippers vs. Accursed

    Hmmm. Accursed you actually play a monster: ghost, construct, were, etc. As part of a campaign in Accursed you also choose whether to embrace your monsterness, or move toward becoming human. You're mostly fighting other monsters. In Rippers you play a human, who chooses whether to remain...

    Fantasy AGE & TITANSGRAVE Product Info

    No wonder Project: Dark is ten months overdue. I'm pretty patient, but it's difficult to see Hindmarch doing all sorts of other projects when he took a hefty chunk of Kickstarter money and has, until now, failed to deliver.

    Games you want to play but can't

    TOR is it for me as well. I keep thinking about doing an online game, but my time is so variable that I hesitate to start. I do feel like an online game could really work with TOR; it seems to me that the people that would join would be people that really wanted to be there, and not...

    Looking for some System suggestions.

    My first thought is Savage Worlds as well. And for races there's a pretty hefty number of them available, just not necessarily in the core book. 50 Fathoms, for example, has a great selection of races, ranging from the more general like humans or masaquani to specific (like in the OP) like...

    Feng Shui 2: Kick Butt, Blow Things Up, Save The World!

    Very happy to have backed the Kickstarter! So far the PDF has been a great read, and the game just begs to be played. Kung Fury is coming!

    RIFTS Is Coming To SAVAGE WORLDS!

    Interesting that as darjr said it's intended to be line of books, and not just one. Seems like a good thing to me. Here's what Shane said on RPGNet Also, I thought this was kind of cool. Here's a post from SPF way back in 2009, looking for Savage Worlds/Rifts ideas. He's obviously been...

    Steven Brust's Dragaera

    I've been looking for an RPG treatment for Dragaera for a long time, and now it looks like it could happen. The Blades in the Dark Kickstarter has a stretch goal called "Blades of the Jhereg". The update from the Kickstarter creator (I'm not affiliated, just excited): Sounds official, as...

    Savage Lankhmar!

    Excellent! I hadn't seen a date, that's right around the corner! With this, the Blades in the Dark Kickstarter, and more information for Phoenix: Dawn Command coming up, it's going to be a busy month!
