Savage Mondays – November 1, 2011

Each week we update you regarding everything Savage Worlds, including news from Pinnacle, the licensees, and the community, as well as the Forum Top Five.

Halloween Freebies

Halloween is the best time for free things. Candy, entertainment, and beer are some of the best things to get for free. While we unfortunately can’t deliver free beer on the Internet (though, we have research trolls on it!), we can give you some free entertainment, no costume required.

Deadlands Devil’s Night

Devil’s Night is a 12-page adventure for use with Deadlands and the new Horror Companion. As the hooves of doom beat down upon your posse, it will be up to you to decide if the tale is one of bitter vengeance or just retribution, assuming you survive. After all, Devil’s Night was written by Savage Worlds creator Shane Lacy Hensley himself and one of the system’s bloodiest GMs.

The Black Coach

The Black CoachThe Black Coach is a papercraft model of a black stagecoach complete with horses and optional boot made by Jordan Peacock. If you’re a Figure Flat fan and plan on running Devil’s Night, this is definitely a must-have!

Bat Swarm Templates

Bat Swarm TemplatesBat Swarm Templates, also by Jordan Peacock, give you some more options for your Small, Medium, and Large Burst Templates just in time for Halloween. Nothing beats trapping your buddies in a big swarm of bats for the holidays, unless it’s using a big swarm of bats to deliver up to 4d6 damage with the right trappings on a well-cast Blast…

Wolves in the Borderland

The story is simple: Fort Vanguard, a small but sturdy fortification, stands on the very border of Black Forest. The lord of the Fort, Commander Voorhess, has a beautiful daughter named Kara, who was captured by Caled raiders three nights ago while on her way to visit her father. Her retinue of three soldiers and a slave girl were also captured. The raiders took their captives back into Black Forest, beyond the Godaxe.

Being short of men, Commander Voorhess has ordered you, the Border Wolves, to pursue the raiders and rescue his daughter. You know the truth: you have been chosen because any other man in the small garrison would have refused such a dangerous mission.

Black Forest is dark and silent and, although you constantly feel you are being watched, nothing hinders your advance. After pursuing them for two days, you have now located the raiders in a small Caled village…

Agents of Oblivion: Mini-Mission #1: The Bad Seed

A Halloween Mini-Mission for Agents of Oblivion, the agents are sent to the wilds of Boise, Idaho to find out why children are disappearing in the midst of The Pumpkin Festival. Can they stop the horrors which await them?

Agents of Oblivion

I will admit this setting intrigues me a bit.  Mostly in the fact that you can swap skills between missions and the sheer amount of tech that is likely to come with it.  I’m planning on listening to Episode 93 of the Game’s The Thing to learn more about it.  Has anyone had a chance to check it out? Let us know in the comments.

 

From RPGNow:

Agents of Oblivion is the highly anticipated Savage Worlds setting book we like to call The Perfect Cocktail of Horror and Espionage. Within these pages grace everything you need to play the style of spy game you want to play from “The Company Line” where every nightmare and conspiracy you can imagine is real and you can wield the powers you need to drive back the darkness to “Spy versus Spy” where you can take things on in a gritty brutal fashion.

Let’s break things down a bit more:
Agent generation is designed with flexibility in mind and expands the Savage Worlds base rules while remaining true to them. Within are options to even modify your agent’s abilities between missions. Add to that resources and you have a setting which truly shines-spytech, special training, SUDs (single use devices), and a multitude of ways to trick out your loadouts and options to grab!
