It’s a Savage World out there, and Apathy Games provides the tools to survive it. First, check out our Savage Worlds Primer. Then if Portuguese is your native language, check out Retropunk.net’s translation. If you’re looking for more up to date news, here’s what’s happening now:

Pinnacle Entertainment Group

Space 1889 Announced | Pinnacle Entertainment Group

It’s been hinted at for a while, but we have formal confirmation that you and your breech loader will soon be on your way to Mars.  The book, Space 1889: Red Sands is on its way to the printer for a summer release.

Savage Worlds Licensees

A New Wellstone City Adventure | Silver Gryphon Games

Last week we mentioned the release of the Savage Worlds conversion of Wellstone City.  Two-Bit Thugs is an additional adventure, fresh and new, for you to enjoy.

Sundered Skies Adventure Collection | Triple Ace Games

It’s been some time since we’ve seen support for Sundered Skies, so it’s nice to see this collection of short adventures.  It’s called Within the Skies, and it’s available now.

Savage Community

New Podcast of Might! | Smiling Jack’s Bar and Grill

It was a great disappointment when Smiling Jack’s decided to go quarterly.  They do a fine show.  But the spring edition is now out, and is two hours of Savage Worlds discussion.

Savage Mondays – December 14, 2009

Savage Mondays

It’s a Savage World out there, and if we’re going to survive it, we’d best keep an eye out. Apathy Games does just that. Every Monday we bring you the latest news and ideas about the Savage Worlds game. For those who don’t know what this whole savage worlds thing is, we hope to have a guide for you soon. In the meantime, check out the Playtest Rules. Here’s what’s happening now:

Pinnacle Entertainment Group

  • Our Masters of All Things Savage, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, have released the PDF version of the Super Powers Companion. This is a refinement of the rules from Necessary Evil, combined with resources for running a supers campaign, including a system for building complex Headquarters, and pages filled with super-villain opponents. The Super Powers Companion is also available as a bundle with a print version, expected to release in April 2010.
  • The errata for the second printing of the Savage Worlds: Explorer’s Edition has been out for a while now, but Pinnacle has posted a link to a fan made errata sheet [.PDF file] that can be cut out and pasted directly into your book.
  • For those who want to support Pinnacle directly, but can’t justify the exorbitant shipping fees, the Studio 2 Store has begun using USPS as a shipping option.

Savage Worlds Licensees

  • Triple Ace Games has a new adventure for Daring Tales of the Sprawl. Tail Chasing has the players hunting down a stolen prototype, but like everything in cyberpunk, nothing is straightforward.
  • There are also reports that the Hellfrost Gazetteer and Hellfrost Bestiary are available at your friendly neighborhood game store.
  • The recently re-branded Savage Mojo (previously Talisman Studios) has just released the Savage Suzerain Player’s Guide. Suzerain is a world of multiple alternate realities. The players are pulled by the powers of the multiverse into adventure and power as they work their way up to godhood. The Savage Suzerain Player’s Guide contains rules, edges, a guidelines for playing demigod characters.
  • Tri-Tac Games has announced that work has begun on a conversion of their Fringeworthy setting of pulp science fiction. Fringeworthy has been around since the early eighties, and is a welcomed addition of the Savage Worlds library.

It’s a Savage World out there, and if we’re going to survive it, we’d best keep an eye out. Apathy Games does just that. Every Monday we bring you the latest news and ideas about the Savage Worlds game. Here’s what’s happening now:

  • Smiling Jack’s Bar and Grill has just launched their podcast with their first episode discussing Savage Worlds design philosophy. While the production values are spotty near the beginning, the Savage Worlds discussion has some good talent present and interesting points, and it’s definitely worth a listen.
  • Pinnacle Entertainment Group has just released the Errata for the second printing the the Savage Worlds: Explorer’s Edition, as well as a map pack and player’s guide for Deadlands: The Flood. Both can be found at their Downloads Page. They have also posted a list of products currently in development.
