Pages: 39
Price: Free (RPGNow/DriveThruRPG)

Savage Insider Issue 7: End of Days is all about survival after the apocalypse. The pillar article Technology Lost discusses what conveniences and technology would be lost depending on how the apocalypse affected the world while Religion in a Post-Apocalyptic Age presents information about how the faithful are able to practice their religion in a world without some of our modern conveniences.

End of Days is a post-apocalyptic issue with content placed in an age where life on the new Earth is much different than that which we know today. This issue concentrates more on options and content for post-apocalyptic game play while offering a short adventure and fictional piece that can be interpreted onto your tabletop.

End of Days includes:

• Post-Apocalyptic Gear to equip your characters
• 2 flagship articles about life in a post-apocalyptic world
• A fictional piece set in a post-apocalyptic environment
• A one-sheet adventure module
• And more!

The download includes two different versions: a full-color version and a printer-friendly, version without the background.

[TAG] Hellfrost - Land of Fire: New Races

Mac schrieb:

Back when the kickstarter for land of fire was going I made a deal with you that if we got Land of Fire to be a "go", that you would provide a brief description of the new races so I could start integrating them into the ports and what not.

I've been anxiously awaiting this for almost a month now. Figured this could serve as my "poke" on the topic.

Here ya go, Mac!

Cakali -- bipedal jackals; nomadic race. See free preview for full details.

Element-Touched -- broad name. Devoted call them jinn blooded, while Faithful call them god touched. Admired, respected, feared, and hated in equal measure. Humans with very basic innate elemental control. Not a true race, as they must still be Bedu or Hadaree in origin.

Human (Bedu) -- nomads.

Human (Hadaree) -- generic title meaning "person of the town." Basically covers any non-nomad. This is not a unique culture, but rather an umbrella term for all settled people.

Hyaenidae -- bipedal hyenas. Family-oriented nomadic scavengers with a bad reputation among other races.

Sand Goblins -- short, hairy, splayed feet, have a hump like a camel. Lazy, thievish race considered untrustworthy by others.

And that's your lot.

Werecorpse schrieb:

Why 2 anthropomorphic canines ( not others ie snake, lizard, crocodile, birds of prey etc) and no demihuman variants?
Not many human variants either?

( not criticizing just wondering about the thought/ design process)

Zum Vergrößern anklicken....

That's just what came to mind when I was writing. There are lizardmen, gatormen, ophidae (snakemen), and minotaurs, but they're bad guys.

(Anmerkung: Hyänen sind trotz ihres Aussehens Katzenartige. Demnach gibt es genau genommen nur die hundeartigen Cakali)

[...]

Probably worth adding something about religion, since it effectively doubles the amount of races (as major viewpoints change depending on one's beliefs).

• Faithful worship the 13 gods (and lots of minor ones) and disdain magic.
• Devoted follow a philosophy rather than gods, and openly acknowledge magic as a spiritual (but not Spirit-based) path.
• You cannot follow both creeds.
• You cannot follow neither creed.
• You cannot be a Faithful mage.
• You cannot be a Devoted cleric.
• Both creeds honor Suleiman as the father of their belief system.

These are immutable facts in canonical Al-Shirkuh.

What happens in your game is up to you.

McCurmudgeon schrieb:

So are the Bedu, Hadaree, and Element-Touched all different races with different race abilities, or are the Bedu and Hadaree more like cultural differences like Saxa and Anari

Zum Vergrößern anklicken....

Bedu and Hadaree are humans with cultural differences, like Anari and Saxa. Element-touched are essentially human, but come with a few tweaks, and have their own specific entry rather than being listed under Humans.

Greentongue schrieb:

Minotaurs? as in Camel-Men or Bovine-men?

Bovine (hence "taurs"). Desert centaurs are camel-related, rather than horse-related.

Woohooo! High-Space just became a Platinum best-seller on www.RPGNow.com. A huge THANK YOU to the Savage Worlds community for the support. You all rock!

I'd like to give a little something back to you all... so here it is. Our very first Savage Worlds adventure, Blood of the Innocent, set in the jungles of Vietnam. Bloody, sweaty, gaming goodness that still holds a special place in my heart for being one of the more DEADLY adventures I've ever run.

Ich finde "Blood of the Innocent" wirklich gelungen - auch wenn ALLE SC-Spielwerte leider komplett nachgerechnet und überarbeitet werden müssen (Storyweaver schludert schon mächtig, was Regelkenntnis anbetrifft). Das Abenteuer paßt bestens in eine Tour-of-Darkness-Kampagne rein.

In der Dezemberausgabe der Mephisto (Nr. 55) ist neben der ein oder anderen Rezi unserer Produkte auch ordentlich Spielmaterial für Savage Worlds vertreten. Gleich zwei OneSheets haben es ins Heft geschafft. Glühen in der Nacht entführt die Helden in das viktorianische Zeitalter der Rippers und in Gestrandet dürft ihr die gnadenlose Weite der Sundered Skies erkunden. Beide Abenteuer sind übrigens exklusives deutsches Material und keine Übersetzungen. Neben den beiden Abenteuern enthält das Magazin natürlich noch viel Lesenswertes und vor allen Dingen viel Spielmaterial, bspw. für Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Spherechild, Arkham Horror etc.
Kaufen könnt ihr das Magazin übrigens direkt hier.
Viele Grüsse

[Deadlands] Trail Guides Vol.1
Authors: Matthew Cutter
Page Count: 320 pages. Explorer’s Edition sized PDF (6.5″ x 9″). Full-color.
Price: €15.30 (DriveThruRPG)

Take a tour of the less-traveled Weird West with your Epitaph correspondent Phineas P. Gage for the first three Deadlands Trail Guides, now compiled into one volume for ease of reference.

In Trail Guide: South o’ the Border, visit beautiful Mexico. Bask in the sun as centuries-old hatred festers in the midst of a three-sided civil war.

In Trail Guide: Great Northwest, you’ll see the snow has its own beauty. But in this land gripped by Famine, you might give your left arm for some jerky, and that might be what it’s used for! When a war between the unnatural beasts in the woods threatens to wipe humanity from the region, will your posse be up to the challenge?

Finally, the Trail Guide: Weird White North takes you to the tundra of Alaska and British Columbia, a land locked in ice north of the amazing Winterline, a fence made by Hellstromme Industries to hold back the cold itself! But something more sinister, more malevolent than mere winter is being held in check…for now!

EachTrail Guide offers you a closer look at the people, places, and—perhaps most important—things you’ll see in each region. And don’t forget the mini-Plot Point Campaigns and Savage Tales in each, as well. You’re bound to have fun or die tryin’!

Deadlands Trail Guides, Volume 1 is not a complete game. It’s a supplement for the Deadlands Reloaded setting for the Savage Worlds game system.

Please note that this gathers three previously released Trail Guides--South o' the Border, the Great Northwest, and the Weird White North.

[MTE] Ultimate Roman Legions Guide (Savage Worlds)
Author: Christopher J. N. Banks
Artists: BVA, Butskykh Roman, LPJ Design Image Portfolio, Public Domain
Pages: 48
Price: €2.96 (DriveThruRPG)

Few words conjure up as much grandeur and splendor as the Roman Legions. For 900 years they marched across Europe, Africa, and Asia, laying low any opposition set before them and adding vast swaths of new lands to the Republic and later the Empire. They performed this miraculous chore through superior arms and armor, remarkable training and discipline, and a tradition of unparalleled organization and pedigree.

Ultimate Roman Legions Guide is a catalog of tools of the trade utilized by the Roman Army. The legions underwent drastic changes over the years moving from seasonal, offensive citizen soldiers, to professional, garrisoned warriors; from infantry based cores to cavalry-heavy mobile units. As the scope of all the drastic changes are quite abundant, this guide focuses on the armies of the Late Republic and Early Empire, roughly from 27 BCE to 284 CE, commonly known as the Principate.

Ultimate Roman Legions Guide includes:

• Historical equipment utilized by the Roman Legions
• A look at the structure of the Roman Legions
• A listing of Roman Emperors
• A comprehensive timeline of Roman battles during the Principate
• New Character Options for making a Legionary
• Savage Tales
• … and more!

Ultimate Roman Legions Guide is your source for building Legionaries like those of history, or building the foundations of a historical or alternate history game set during the Principate.

Bei Sphärenmeisterspiele kann man nun die ToterBaum-Version von Hell on Earth Reloaded bestellen.
Ich habe das mal eben gemacht, da ich es mir zum Geburtstag wünsche und werde es dann umverteilen.

Seit gut einem Jahr arbeiten wir mit einem kleinen und hoch motivierten Demoteam daran unsere Spiele auf Messen, Conventions, in Läden, Buchhandlungen, Jugenzentren etc. bekannter zu machen aber so langsam übersteigen die Anfragen unsere Kapazitäten. Sind wir auf einer Messe vor Ort, haben wir regelmässig mehr potentielle Spieler am Stand als Spielleiter zur Hand und auch die Anfragen von Cons und Läden nach Spielleitern übersteigen derzeit unsere titanischen Kräfte. Wir brauchen also ganz dringend ein grösseres Demoteam und damit deine Hilfe!
Wenn du mit Leib und Seele Rollenspieler bist, dabei unsere Produkte genauso innig liebst wie wir und darüber hinaus auch noch gerne Spielrunden auf Messen und Cons etc. anbietest, schau dir einfach mal unseren Demoteam-Bereich an. Wir haben die Seite und das Regelsystem für Demogeber gründlich überarbeitet und vereinfacht. Eine Neuerung ist bspw. das spezielle Kontaktformular, mit dem du dich ganz bequem für das Demoteam bewerben kannst. Leg los! Wir warten auf dich!
Viele Grüsse

[Smiling Jack’s Bar & Grill] Episode 17: Hello Goodbye

[Obatron Productions] Tunse'al Setting Guide *Savage Worlds*
Authors: Vickey A. Beaver, Robert L. Beaver
Artists: Alessandro Alia, Svenja Liv, Lucas Pandolfelli, Joshua Pinkas, Joe Shawcross
Pages: 102
Price: €14.79 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


This is Tunse'al Setting Guide for Savage Worlds. There is a second version (Systemless) with tables to help you translate the setting information to whatever system you choose. Systemless and Savage Worlds versions of Tunse'al Setting Guide and supplemental materials will be released simultaneously.

Play in a world where technology is slow to advance, tribes are divided by great geographical expanses, trade is fraught with peril, dinosuar-like beasts co-exist with people, and the very environment poses danger to your party. Tunse'al is a tribal, fantasy setting with four playable races that are outside the norm.

The swamp-dwelling Kresh are an amphibious, genderless race committed to ensuring their sacred land, The Wetlands, and as much of Tunse'al as they can protect is safe from greedy destruction. The cold-enduring Gelid use their pathfinding ways throughout the long stretches of the Baarek Mountains to explore and make peace wherever possible. The towering, red-skinned, two-horned Korrin pursue all things with passion in their free-form society of The Footlands where families don't conform to any set parameters. The thick-skinned, nomadic Gales with eyes resembling a snake's wander The Drylands in search of desert gems, tar, and other commodities no one else would have any hope obtaining.

The Skin Eaters of The Dreamlands round out the dominant races, although they are only at the GM's disposal. They are the treacherous, twisted cousins to the Kresh. In her madness, their creator, Sa'ra, decided to pay back her brothers for an earlier wrong, making the Skin Eaters dependent upon others' skins in order to live. They are not mindless, but no tribe trusts them as historical attempts to have a respectable relationship have always ended in bloodshed. Then there is the prophecy that they will one day convert the Kresh to their cause to conquer the other Tunse'als in honor of Sa'ra's predicted awakening. That hasn't helped anyone want to sign-up to be there best friends.

This PDF contains a wide array of world information, Racial Background Edges, new Hindrances specific to Tunse'al, a guide to beasts and fae, ten pre-generated characters, a map, and a blank character sheet. The character sheet may be printed as needed for your table's use. There is no plot point campaign. There are supplements scheduled if you enjoy the advantages of just grabbing pre-made adventures.

Die Arbeiten an den für Sommer geplanten Hellfrostbänden gehen gut voran. Das Spielerhandbuch ist seit Kurzem im Layout, das Weltenbuch befindet sich im Lektorat und der Monsterband wartet auch schon auf uns.
Nebenbei vergessen wir natürlich weder die angekündigten Abenteuer noch die Freebies. Daher gibt es heute das nächste kostenlose One Sheet in unserem Downloadbereich. In Stein der Erinnerungen erforschen die Helden auf der Suche nach einem mysteriösen Artefakt die dunklen Geheimnisse einer uralten Tempelruine.
Das Abenteuer findet ihr hier.
Falls jemand Hellfrost noch nicht kennt, findet ihr auf unserer Produktseite mehr Informationen dazu.

Bleibt savage!
