Apologizes to our loyal readers who follow our Savage Mondays. I had a 11 lb 5 oz “problem” by the name of Jack Hayes that came up around the end of November that’s had me rather distracted. Who has been rather demanding on our schedule.
I found this intriguing, I look over many Kickstarter projects and rarely find ones that I’m willing to shell out some cash for. This setting not only looked interesting but offered some great bonuses for chipping in. At the $25 you get a print copy of the book, a PDF, and at least two archtypes. If the project hits $8k then the first of four adventures will be released to the backers. Not a bad deal.
Streets of Bedlam: A Savage World of Crime + Corruption is equal parts neo-noir, pulp detective fiction, and a bit of the ol’ ultraviolence thrown into a cement mixer and poured on top a heap of nameless bodies no one will ever miss.
It’s a modern urban setting full of despicable people doing awful things in the name of God, money, politics, or to pay off old debts. The stories shine light on the dark places of the human heart but it’s about finding diamonds in the rough, about good people in bad situations. The heroes may have questionable means but they have good intentions.
Of course, you know what they say about good intentions.

What will surely become the most feared book in the high seas Pinnacle has released the Explorer’s Edition of 50 Fathoms. This has been our stable of settings to try for some time now, we keep eye balling it in a way one does when they have a stack of other games to try. As we’ve been cycling in more games and it is… On sale…
The world is drowning. The natives say three witches in Ograpog were sentenced to death by King Amemnus and drowned by the rising tide. With their dying breath, they cursed Caribdus to drown as they were, to drown in fifty fathoms of cold dark sea.
Crab-like scurillians, massive grael, lonely doreen, mysterious kraken, cruel kehana, and the nigh-human masaquani now sail the seas beside the new visitors—humans from the age of piracy, dashing corsairs, bloodthirsty bucaneers, and savage sea dogs drawn from earth. Many believe these visitors to be destined to defeat the Sea Hags and save Caribdus from a watery grave, but most seem interested only in the plunder of forgotten treasures in a drowning world.
Be the hero you were meant to be. Sail the seas. Buckle your swashes. Fight the good fight. Save the world. Come to Caribdus.

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.
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 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, 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…
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…
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?

Support JourneyQuest, Support Savage Worlds
Pinnacle announced this week that they’d be supporting the JourneyQuest Season 2 kickstarter. What’s more, if they raise enough money, Zombie Orepheus Entertainment will video themselves playing Savage Worlds, which would be a great tool for introducing people into our favorite system. So make a contribution and leave a note in the comments saying you were referred by Pinnacle.
Additionally, our awesome friends at Zombie Orpheus Entertainment have agreed that if the total tallied contributions from all the Pinnacle fans reach $5,000, they’ll shoot a video of themselves playing Savage Worlds!

Having never experience a flood myself I can only assume the horrible tragedy of coming home to all of your worldly possessions being ruined and having to start all over again. Savage Mojo obviously feels the same as the helped put together this bundle to raise support for SCCAP’s relief effort. So help a charity and get loads of Savage Worlds stuff to boot.
Hurricane Irene Flood Relief is a charity bundle created in support of upstate New York victims of flooding from Hurricane Irene. All revenue generated by the sale of this bundle will be donated to the Schoharie County Community Action Program to help in their work. If you are not interested in this product, please consider contributing directly to the SCCAP’s relief efforts by visiting their website at http://www.sccapinc.org.

Unfortunately the Forums were quiet this week but we still have plenty of Savage News to deliver. With new figs, settings, and comics it’s been a busy news week.
It’s always exciting to see new settings arrive into the fold of the Savage Licenses. Looking at this setting (from description and art) it immediately reminds me of sword and sorcery in the vain of Conan which is not a bad thing. I’ll be acquiring the preview of the book for later reading.
Know, noble reader, that before you lies a savage new world of sword and sorcery like no other.
A terrible new age has dawned upon the Untamed Lands. The shining age of the ancestors is crumbling beneath a rising tide of blood and slaughter. Here lie the civilizations of the Untamed Lands, warring with their neighbors just to survive as their crops and game dwindle. The Skadians with their dragon-prowed ships, the Shenese with their wealth of silk and steel, the Maztlani with their obsidian edged blades and the Tribal Confederacies with the unbreakable strength of many arrows. Ruskar invaders stain the snow crimson while Atlantean war parties ravage the eastern shores. Meanwhile the serpent folk lie coiled to strike the warring human nations.
Hither lies a land in need of heroes.
Gird yourself for adventure and harden your heart against nameless things lurking in shadow. Explore the cliff-side ruins of the ancient Stone Shapers and seek treasures in the abandoned monuments of the Mound Raisers. Face off against vile sorcerers, simian sasquatch, the impervious Uktena serpent and ravenous wendigo or beat back elder horrors reawakened from ages long past. Live, love, slay and celebrate each victory as though it may be your last.

I’m excited to see the Savage Worlds version of this game finally released! Having playtested it a while back, I can say that’s well worth the money you’ll throw down on the product. The game is fun and plays as a nice dungeon crawl. Just make sure to let the White Haired Men know what you think of it!
He waited, standing like a statue just inside the entrance of the Administration Wing. He had not moved in a thousand years, having no need of food or rest, and never suffering from fatigue. He existed to serve his master, which gave him pleasure. And every moment of those thousand years was pleasing, for his Master had bid him to wait.
Then a whisper of thought brushed his mind. His eyes regained focus and he turned his head, recognizing the pyramid of mummified Harlass Orn corpses he had carefully assembled so long ago. He sensed his Master’s voice, faint yet unmistakable. The rift had opened again, and Agurth-Plaga called to him.
Months have passed since the Harlass Orn were freed from the Veilwalker Dreamseeker in The Dreamers Awaken adventure. One of the survivors, the scholar-mage Zzhastor Brune, learns that the people of Kith’takharos have begun using the ancient Harlass Orn Teleportation Towers. These towers precipitated the Harlass Orn downfall, for the magic employed in tower teleportation opened a rift that allowed the extra-dimensional Veilwalkers to enter normal space and destroy the Harlass Orn.
Seal the Rift! is a Savage Worlds adventure for 4-6 Heroic characters, with an estimated 15 hours of playing time. Zzhastor Brune teleports the characters into Nhamah, where they will navigate the automated defenses before confronting a powerful Veilwalker construct determined to prevent the Aether Bind from being activated.

Expanding their free rules releases even more, this week we see an update to the interlude rules. These are the rules as they appear in the new Savage Worlds Deluxe.
After a review of them, they are quite brilliant and simple to use and explain. They’ll help quickly enhance the game any time you have a moment of down time.
We continue presenting you the changes from Savage Worlds: Explorer’s Edition to Savage Worlds Deluxe available as PDFs. Today, the new Interludes Rules from Savage Worlds Deluxe are available on our Downloads page.
These rules were originally released in Zombie Run and added as a free web enhancement at the same time. The new Interlude Rules are faster and more flexible, but still just as fun!
These join last week’s posting of the new Chase Rules. Keep watching the homepage as we roll out the rest of the changes in the coming weeks!

It’s exciting to see Pinnacle to move into other areas in the Deadlands property, with the Dime Novels and now Miniatures. Unfortunately the pictures are a bit small but the detailing looks pretty good. Personally I love the look of Reverend Grimme with his book held high, but it may be my personal love of clerics.
