The Anti-d20 game?

[scarymonkey]

Has anyone here tried out Savage Worlds by PEG yet? It seems to use most every die except for the D20. Apparently it is the d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 system.

Check it out for yourself here-

I understand it uses a d20 for a few rolls.

I'm hoping to pick up my copy on Thursday. Savage Worlds makes lots of claims and if it lives up to half of them it'll be a cool game. I don't know if it'll replace Lejendary Adventure as my game of choice, but there is potential there.

BTW, I wouldn't call it an ANTI-d20 game. Too many people around here are too slavishly devoted to that tiny logo. But if it can pull off a full mass combat scenario in less than 2 game sessions (it took 8 with 3e/Chainmail, average session of 4 hours ) then I'll be impressed.

Define "Mass."

I've run up to 25 combatants on the board at one time in 3E in a four hour time span. (20 of the enemies went in groups of 5 each, making it easier on me, but it was still pretty easy to keep up with.)

when's Savage Worlds hitting the streets?

i want to take a look at it, but for some reason i assumed it was still several months off...

Its filtering into stores right now. I ordered mine straight from the company's website though. My LGS (they aren't really friendly) doesn't carry any PEG stuff at all- only D20, WW, GURPS, Paladium, and a couple of others.

The first campaign setting, Evernight, should be out in a month or so.

cool. i know my FLGS will be getting it in -- i had a conversation about Savage Worlds last week with the store manager. he's been one of the playtesters.

It's adjustable to fit any system...

(..and if you center the image, it gives the illusion of being balanced!)
