You caught me. Goblins the Comic inspired me partway to do this.

I was in a dnd 3.0 game that died, and the premise was that everyone was a "monster", drow, goblin, kobold, etc, and the civilized races were colonizing our "wilderness" area, so we were banding together to fight them off.

I could see a campaign like that, PCs might be members of different tribes in a temporary alliance, or from the same tribe

Neat! Man that reminds me of how much I love Legos. I haven't touched a set in years, but I'd probably be ashamed to know how much of my childhood was consumed by playing with Legos. I cannot begin to fathom.

Rippers is pretty much the only Pinnacle Savage Setting I haven't had any experience (Player or GM) with at all.

I kind of want to mix Rippers up with Space 1889

That's a heck of an idea there. Hunting Monsters foreign and domestic.

In reply to shadrack (msg # 675):

That idea sounds cool,but what would rippertech be like? Alien parts?

Newb rules question.

A wild card who's Shaken, they take a hit:

With a success they're still Shaken, and suffer a Wound.

With a raise they're still Shaken, and suffer a Wound.

So in this case there's no extra effect for the raise.

Shouldn't they take a Wound from the 2x Shaken on top of the Wound from the raise?

I don't see anything stopping a master vampire from having an airship.  Venusian mummies may have some different abilities than the standard variety.

So, I would probably just let rippertech be,... rippertech.

don't know, I just like airships, and I like rippers so...

Not by RAW.

you have it lined out how I understand it.  I keep it straight in my head by approaching it as, You can only get (at most) as many wounds as raises.

The idea, as I see it, is that the 2 shaken make a wound is a 'bonus'.  So it's not that you're losing a wound for the raise on a shaken target, it's that you're gaining one on the shaken target and you didn't get a raise.

You don't take a Shaken and a Wound result. If you beat toughness, you cause a Shaken result.
If you beat Toughness with a raise, you cause a Wound.
Now, a side-effect of that wound is that you are Shaken as well.

It helps if you switch the description around:
"With a success they suffer a Wound, and are still Shaken."

The idea is that being shaken makes it more likely that you ar wounded, but not more likly that you will be incapacitated.

So I met a guy on here wanting to play a kitsune. He wants to shape shift and control fire. How do I savage this?

In reply to shady joker (msg # 683):

Check Iron Dynasty or make the race with the shape shift power and flaws to compensate

I don't have Iron Dynasty. What about his fox fire? I was thinking of giving him bolt, burst, and shape change as a MAGIC background.

How's this?



Then his AB can be tailored for his Kitsune nature with fire spells and shapeshift

that seems very overpowered.  I would totally play that race if I were a mage; starting with 20 pp?  and +2 notice?

In reply to OggyBenDoggy (msg # 687):

It does sum up to a +2 just like a Humans with a free edge. But sure I can see a mage with tons of PPs being an issue... so swap out fear of dogs for –1 Toughness (a more constant affect) or even just drop the +10 PPS and the phobia

Or just something like

Hellow SWers.

I'm looking for a Lovecraftian adventure/investigation. I'm new to SW - but I have a source book on mail order, arriving sometime in the next few weeks.

My background is mostly in CoC and freeforming.

Thanks :)

Hi! I've had a copy of Savage Worlds for a couple years now, but haven't had a chance to play it. It has a lot of similarities to other games I play, and so it always comes to mind as something to use for whatever my latest gaming scheme is. I just lack the experience to use it properly.

Good to be among people who understand it a little better. Maybe I'll learn something I can put to use! Never hurts to give back to the community, right? :D

Hey guys.  I'm really wanting to play Savage Hell on Earth.  Would anyone be up for running a game?  I'd greatly appreciate it.

Nintaku I personally invite you to my Rippers game and Dragon game. Both are Newbie friendly.

Are those games open to anyone?  I loved the Rippers setting but never got to play it at all.

Yes my gAmes are open to everyone.

That Dragons game looked like a fantastic idea, definitely something I'd love to hop right into. Have you created it yet?
