Would anyone be interested in a Savaged Northern Crown game?

My plan would be primarily to use the setting material as a basis and inspiration for adventures. I've always been intrigued by a colonial America type setting.

I am.

Anyone want to start or has a 50F game? I just got the book and would like to play.

Hmm, the setting looks interesting, and I do have the SW book now...  so maybe, if I can find time and inspiration to create a suitable character.

I just talked a friend into running a 50F game in real life.
I'll be playing a hard of hearing Musketeer in love with his musket.

 Well I do not want to GM if it can be helped. I was hoping for a game on rpol.net. I want to be a crab man or Grael type character.

there was a long running 50F game here, but the GM had to drop.  A player said he'd take over, but it was around x-mas, so things kind of paused.  I've been only sporadically on for the past month, so I don't know if it will restart or not

I'm working on the Savage Septentrionalis (converted Northern Crown) setting and wanted some feedback on what type of campaign those wanting to play would be interested in. The setting is ripe for many styles of gaming:

* Soloman Kane like supernatural investigation/exploration
* Continental/environmental exploration
* Intrigue between countries; investigation into cults, societies, etc.

These are just three ideas off the top of my head. My initial thoughts are that the players could be part of a band of "troubleshooting mercenaries" or perhaps members of an explorative society. Anyway, just wanted some feedback.

I'm posting setting conversion information as it develops, you can see the first entry here: http://wilddie.net/?p=70

yes

all 3, why stick with just one thing?  plus, that way you can have a witch hunter for the first, a woodsman explorer type for the second, and a spy type char for the third.  Different adventures will "star" differnt PCs

Agreed, I'd rather keep things open, but I'd need the binding force that has a diverse range of characters travelling together. Mercenaries looking for any work, society of "travellers" doing Robin Hood-esque deeds?

Ideas...

It's basically colonization of america, with a supernatural twist?  how about all players are hired to explore an area for settlement, then protect/defend/etc the settlement as it grows?

I think that just sparked something in the back of my mind OBD...thanks. I'll work things out to get started in the near future...thanks.

Here's a quick intro I wrote up...

A Savage Frontier

Seeking brave, adventurous, independent and free-thinking souls...that's the call that came forth from Lord Jeferson and his adviser, the renowned philosopher Franklyn, describing the kind of people needed to join the newly formed Virginia Cavaliers. As a related division to Jeferson's Army of Discovery, the Cavaliers are a free-form militia and protective force designed to roam the lands of Virginia and beyond, protecting the ideals of the Republic, defending and aiding its citizens from its adversaries and investigating the lands of Septentrionalis wherever travels shall take them. You are one of the intrepid few that are riding out to various corners of the Republic of Virginia, ready to do whatever needs to be done. Saddle up, adventure is in the air and the unknown is just over the horizon.

Sounds cool.  Where do I sign up ?
:)

I've been thinking of starting a game, but I have several idea's, so I'm willing to run whatever the most people are interested in.

And I want to make sure there are enough savages here interested in another game.

Had three basic ideas.

1 - post apoc.  I have the Savage Gamma World conversion, but i'd prefer a more "realistic", maybe 30 years after the war, more Mad Max than Mutants.

2 - modern fantasy/horror.  Monster hunting in the 21st century, probably something like Rippers set today

3 - Fantasy.  Peg just released Wizards and Warrios, which had some good idea for a fantasy game.  ether:
a - standard pack of mercenary adventureres, looking for monsters and loot.  But as this has been done a lot, I could also do:
b - conan.  More human bad guys, no PC non-humans, few monsters, a bit more horror.
c - Knights of the Round Table.  PCs are Knights or their companions, fighting the good fight
d - Robin hood.  NOt historical, maybe not even Robin Hood, but paying rebels in a fantasy setting.  Maybe like Midnight where The Big Bad Guy took over, or maybe it's simply that your kingdom has been conquored by another.

thoughts?  idea's?  Preferences?  Any interest at all?

All of the ideas sounds fine. I'd roll a d6 and move go with it.

Alternately you could to a game similar to what feuer_faust is doing over at Savage Stories.

Either way keep us informed!

i'd be into playing the mad max/post apoc or the monster-hunting in the 21st century.

I'd be up for some post-apoc or the Robin Hood-esque idea...either sounds like fun and both are something that aren't represented here.

S5, what's feuer_faust doing?  Is it here on rpol?

that's two votes for Mad Max, 1 for robin hood, one for modern monster hunting.  And one no pref.  I'll wait for a few more votes and make a call

the idea on the PA game is that you could be old and understand all tech, or young and need an edge.  So if you have shooting and don't have the edge, you can use bows, crossbows, etc., but with guns you are -4.  Same for most skills like that.  Similar to Aftermath! if you've played that game.

for modern monster hunting, i was thinking that you'd start as either a bunch of stranger or friends who have an encounter, then are recruited.  some missions would be investigatory, others "bug hunts".  Or maybe you were all in teh same national guard unit sent to Iraq, and that's where you have your encounter.

For the Robin hood, I'm thinkng of a scenario where an "evil" character party conqured your kingson.  So one area s rules by an assasin, another by a mage, another by an evil priest, etc.  You'd start out in hiding as rebels, the plot would be defeating them one by one, obviosly the types of threats will vary, the assasin will have lots of assasin, traps, etc, the age will have magial creates, the priest will have undead, etc.

Its a round robin game, or a string of mini-campaigns w/o linking characters. We just started a low-fantasy game. Yes its here... <a href="http://rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=28729&gn=%5BSavW%5D+Savage+Stories&date=1202267819">right here to be exact</a>

I'm currently working on "Savage Rifts." I love the setting, hate the system. So I'm going to bring it into the SW system.

I'll keep you guys posted.

I'm playing in a couple of games here, run two games at Rondak's and I'm thinking about running a game here as well.
First I thought about using my Savage Westeros conversion for a Game of Thrones game, but then I though I'd rather try a game of Rippers or Necropolis...
probably Necropolis.

Any interest out there? I'll set up the game and see if I get some requests for joining. ;-)

I don't care much for Rondak's style vs here. For some reason the long reply thread of posts annoy me. And the die roller here is much better to me at least.

I'd be up for Necropolis, would give me a chance to use my 'con copy' :)

I'd love to play Necropolis.  I was just thinking this morning about offering to run a game of it here, though I am not the best with the SW rules.

Allright, I set the game up. Give it a week or two before we actually start, so that enough players can wander by and join up. ;-)
