Savage Worlds Deluxe Errata & Character Sheet Now Available
Pinnacle has been busy again with their free releases. This week we see the release of the Errata and the Character Sheet for Savage Worlds Deluxe.
It’s funny, now. As a publisher going through your game, you always find little tweaks you want to make after the fact. It becomes easier, if your product is digital, to provide these updates, but it’s always embarrassing. Oh well. Pick these up to get your game running right.

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!

Here is the news from last week:
2011 ENnie Voting Open!
Voting opened for the 2011 ENnies, and the voting page is now live! Savage Worlds is being represented by three products in four categories.
Pinnacle summed up the Savage Worlds entries pretty nicely:
Space 1889: Red Sands has been nominated for both Best Setting and Best Supplement. This was a labor of love for us at Pinnacle, bringing Frank Chadwick’s classic Space 1889 setting to the Savage Worlds rules, and it’s especially gratifying to see it get two nominations.
Shanghai Vampocalypse from Savage Mojo has been nominated for Best Electronic Book as well. Savage Mojo is a long-time licensee, and Shanghai Vampocalypse continues their Suzerain setting. It’s nice to see recognition for ongoing support and line depth, and we look forward to seeing their setting continue to grow.
That’s right in case you missed the post a little over a week ago, we’re nominated for an ENnie! We would be honored if you voted for us for Best Electronic Product. If you wanted to add us to your Fan Favorite Publisher, we’d be ecstatic. Please spread the word!

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.
Savage Worlds Deluxe PDF and Preorders Now Available
The Deluxe is here! Well, at least for pre-orders and the PDF, and that’s pretty awesome as it stands, right?

Personally I’m a bit excited for these, but I’m a huge reader of novels. As I recently received a Kindle for Christmas, I’ve been gathering ebooks like I’m building a nest out of ‘em. With Pinnacle announcing the release of these novels and their impending Kindle/iBookstore/Nook/Sony Reader releases, I’m excited to pick these up and enjoy their stories.
