I had to think about my response here quite a bit. So far, you've mostly received feedback about you, the risks, etc. I'm going to tell you about the rewards. To put it in perspective, I have 2 daughters, 7 and 10. I just turned 41. Unconditional love. There is nothing better than walking...

When we switched over to SW, we also dropped the grid and play combat faster and looser than we ever thought we could. These guys went from hardcore tactical 4E players, to give us more story and RP. It's really a very different feel....if you engage in combat with the 4E mindset, it will take...

The sci-fi companion is supposed to be released, as a PDF to start, on Jan 14. Can't wait.

Time and effort do seem to be big contributors. My group all grew up on D&D. It took a fair bit of effort to get them to try Savage Worlds and we've been hooked for a while now. A new system was intimidating to them, but once they got the hang of SW, they were sold since the complexity of 4E...

There have been several comments to give Savage Worlds a try. After running a 4e group up to epic and taking a tour of it(quick level ups, etc, just to try it), I was burned out as well. One night I got them to try The Great Hunt. It's a free Savage World adventure with horror...

Not vital. Much of SW is reskinning existing stuff to fit your campaign. If you're desperate for extra material look at Gramel's Nemesiz on rpgnow. It's a sci fi SW setting. Savage Worlds really is go with your gut, common sense rules. The companion will certainly offer more...

The official word, back in the summer, was before the end of the year for release of the sci-fi companion. I asked on the peginc forums a week or so ago and they are actively working on it, but no date was given. On the upside, it being a PDF means no waiting for a printer or anything. Once...

I have to chime in as SW has become my group's go to system. A couple quick comments. If you are coming from D&D, DO NOT PLAY Fantasy to start. The rules play very differently. Combat is not a grind like in D&D. People can die...fast. Run the Wild Hunt. It's a great, free, intro...

I think I was in the original thread with Bullgrit. I've been through 4 or 5 rounds of P90x. One round of Insanity One round of P90x2 One round of Asylum vol 1 One round of Asylum vol 2 Two rounds of a P90x/x2 hybird and am a couple weeks away from finishing a second round of Insanity. After...

If you subscribe to roll20, one of the levels includes tablet support. I hooked an old computer up to my TV and the guys spread out on the couch. I setup a small table next to the TV and work from there. Then they can look at me as the GM and see the TV. It works well unless someone eats or...

I don't understand why. We tried so many other ways and that was by far the best/most easiest. We have recently begun posting our Savage Worlds Deadlands:Reloaded game to youtube. If anyone is interested, skip the 2 minute intro and see what running Roll20 through google hangouts looks like...

I did a bunch of research before settling on my ASUS Transformer Prime. I'm really happy with it. At the same time, a couple years ago we picked up a pair of original Kindle Fires for our daughters. They use them constantly(mostly games) but do enjoy them...easily worth the $200...

My group has tried a lot of options for this. We started with a webcam, skype and white board. Moved on to maptools and skype, then google hangouts and maptools. We've recently settled on Roll20 and google hangouts...these provide almost everything we need and a fair amount of integration...

I think you really have to combine both Maptools and Roll20. I use maptools to create the maps, but we use roll20 when we play. With two remote guys, and integration into Google hangouts, we can't lose. It seems that as our group has matured, our style has changed as well. The 1.5+ hour...

GM, 95% of the time. My group's been together 5 years, play every other week, and I've been a player less than 20 times. I enjoy GMing, but my players are always welcome to sit in the big chair and I can usually con someone into running a session or two to give me a little time to recharge the...

Someone already said it, but the Valeyard is, "an amalgamation of the darker side of the Doctor's nature" As I read that, it doesn't even say it's the Doctor. Just part of his darker side. Perhaps something that's split off at some point....or cloned off...

I think the easiest solution is to either open a portal from somewhere else(dimension, hell, plane, etc) or some sort of invasion from somewhere else on the planet. Your time could be spent trying to take back a city and then exploring it to loot it, rather than an ancient dungeon. You can...

The second microphone causes issues. Because I have a GM laptop and the TV has a different computer, adding a second mic causes all kinds of echoing, etc. I just got word that my sometimes remote guy, travels for work, is moving to Florida. That means 2 remote players 95% of the time. I may...
