[Pinnacle] Rifts is Coming for Savage Worlds!

We’re pleased to announce that we will be developing Rifts for Savage Worlds! We’re early in the process now, but Shane says we anticipate a core setting book in time for Christmas.

Rifts is a classic muti-genre post-apocalypse game with elements of everything from fantasy and mythology on through cyberpunk and mecha, the realization of Kevin Siembieda’s vision of a game with everything for everyone.

“I’m really excited to see what Rifts will look like in the Savage Worlds system,” said Siembieda. “The Savage fans are great folks, and I think Rifts is going to be an amazing amount of fun for them, letting them explore all the possibilities of both the system and the setting.”

Be sure to keep up with the Pinnacle news for more information as it becomes available!

Das könnte SO COOL sein, wäre nicht der "Big Irish" sogar an maßgeblicher Stelle daran beteiligt. - Daher dürfte es sowas von UNSAVAGE werden, wie es nur geht.

The Templars offer him a small force of men for his small initial donation and the Earl pays for additional mercenary support. But will it be enough to get into the Sultan’s Palace and rescue their wives?

[TAG] UK Games Expo Exclusive New Games – King of Thieves & Halfling Feast



Welcome to King of Thieves, a non-collectible bluffing card game of tomb robbing in which competing thieves gamble their reputation to steal treasure from heavily guarded tombs!

Evading Traps & Creatures that protect treasure laden tombs is just the first hurdle in securing your title! You must also vanquish your fellow thieves by defeating them at a series of duels. With the use of swords, shields, keys or the magic of the lamp you must defeat all to become King of Thieves!

TAG fans may already recognize the feel of the artwork as Land of Fire. Indeed this is the background to King of Thieves!

Designed by Robin Elliott from a concept by Paul ‘Wiggy’ Wade-WIlliams, King of Thieves is a fun and quick card game in which you must bluff your way to victory!



Welcome to Halfling Feast, a non-collectible card game of competitive feasting for 2-4 players. Take your place at the table and let the feast begin!
Players take on the role of a halfling champion eater! They must consume an exotic array of fantasy dishes to win! However you must avoid the underhand tactics of your competitors as their actions can allow your victory to slip away like a halfling trifle!

Designed by Naomi Styles and developed by Robin Elliott, Halfling Feast is a quick, fun and tasty card game in which you must bluff your way to victory!

Initially these games will only be available at UK Games Expo and we have some pre-release copies on sale. We have a very limited supply so make sure you arrive at our stand early to avoid disappointment!

Drip by Bloody Drip

The group is hired to grab some medical research files from an abandoned naval base on the Puget Sound. Seems simple enough, except nobody thought to deactivate the base’s security systems. Can the group survive military-grade security robots and drones long enough to retrieve the data? And why is another recovery team on the base?

Drip by Bloody Drip is an adventure for 3 to 5 characters of Seasoned rank or higher.

Jericho Rose

Managers and producers know the secret. It isn't what's hot now, it's what's next. That's the key. Not what they're listening to now, but what they're going to listen to tomorrow.
Lorna Jericho could be next.
A hot look, a new sound and lyrics that turn fans into fanatics. She's dangerous. She has no fear. She asks all the wrong questions, shouting them out loud to her loyal followers.
Shadows in tall buildings say, "She has to be stopped." They say, "She has to be silenced."
And perhaps, they've gotten her wish. Because like a ghost, she's gone. Vanished. And it's up to you to find out who stole the Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes.

Written by critically acclaimed author John Wick, Jericho Rose is a cyber-noir adventure for 4 to 5 characters of Seasoned rank or Higher.

[Kyoudai Games] Savage Thunderscape *KICKSTARTER*

The world of post-apocalyptic, industrial fantasy and horror comes to Savage Worlds at last! Defend Aden against the Darkfall!

The World of Aden is struggling for survival against a foe that seems invincible. Not so long ago, the world was in the throes of an industrial revolution, with the discovering of gunpowder and steam power giving rise to the incredible power of mechamagic, the union of magic and technology. Each passing year brought incredible new advancements, and war had been absent for so long that it was virtually forgotten. But ten years ago, the sun went black during an unexplained eclipse, and in that moment of darkness, every horror imaginable crawled from the shadows to prey upon the people of the Known Lands. This event became known as the Darkfall, and it changed the face of the world forever.

Ten years later, the world of Aden still fights for survival. The creatures created by the Darkfall, known as Nocturnals, have destroyed countless hundreds of settlements, tens of thousands of lives, and brought entire nations to ruin. Every day brings a sigh of relief that the world has survived, and every nightfall brings another threat that it may end. And yet, there is hope.

Those who fight against the Darkfall are not necessarily heroes, for there are many who seek to preserve Aden for their own purposes. Regardless, however, the common folk look upon them as leaders and inspiration, because the struggle for their survival is a desperate one. Foremost among the warriors who take the field against the evil plaguing the land are those who possess the power of mechamagic, either in the form of a mechamage, who commands a powerful golem to do his bidding, or a golemoid warrior, whose body has been modified to possess steam-powered weapons built right into their flesh. Others, including the technology-creating steamwright and the survivors of the divinatory Seer order, are only a few of those who hope to save Aden from an evil that no one yet understands.

In Thunderscape, your character can fight against the hordes of nocturnals spawned by the Darkfall in a desperate attempt to win back the vast stretches of wasteland lost over the course of years. Or you can defend the few remaining settlements from your enemies, both nocturnals and mortal. You can take up the banner of Urbana and forge new trade routes across the Known Lands, or you can fight against the oppressive regime of Lord Urbane in hopes of liberating the people from his brand of 'necessary tyranny.' You can plumb the depths of the Burning Coast in hopes of retrieving lost treasures, or search for the mysteries of the lost creators of Le'Ciel. Hunt giants in the deep jungles of the Misland Republics, or fight off necromantic incursions from the Gray Isles as part of Arasteen's Radiant Order.

The possibilities are limitless!
