I meant the Incapacitation table.
Seemed to be something that should be more setting rule that core rule to me.
While Savage Worlds has a default "Pulp" feel, it doesn't have to.

Anyone have Primeval Thule? Is it any good? And most importantly, are you doing a game with it?

In reply to Samus Aran (msg # 192):

I've only briefly skimmed it, so obviously haven't used it in a game yet.  It's been a few months since I've looked at it.   Was there something specific you were wondering about, or just a general feel?

Yes to both, really. I'm curious what it's like (since I never played it in the other games). Especially the Elves, the settings, everything. I'd love to make a character. Can you have sorcery?

Elves are a subset of High Elves but their kingdoms have mostly fallen to decadent ruins long past - mechanically they work as Elves from Savage Worlds Deluxe.

Yes, you can be a Sorcerer, but it is defined as a dark path since the practitioner must change themselves in order to access the innate powers.  The book uses the SWDX variant instead of the Fantasy Companion Sorcerer, although the definition/description is the same as the D&D/Pathfinder versions and would work well with the Fantasy Companion interpretation.  Sorcerers may select Soul Drain Edge, but not Wizard Edge.

(There are also Warlocks & Wizards which work a bit differently flavor-wise and all have specific Power lists.)

That's just from skimming the SW Primeval Thule Campaign Setting.

Overall, the setting looks interesting - you can get a brief overview in the free PDF:

Would the new Resource Management supplement make a good game by itself?
How fun is playing in a domain level game?

I've been wanting to try out different domain-management style games. Which supplement are you referring to? I'd like to check that out and Thule if anyone is interested.

In reply to Samus Aran (msg # 197):

I'm talking about the new Hellfrost Resource Management 2 supplement that was just released.

I ran a domain level game on this site for about a year using An Echo Resounding.
It worked ok for resources and growth but the rules are actually for player characters and not  domain verses domain. I make a bunch of house rules and everything but mass battles worked.

If you are interested ...

Haven't had time to really dig into the HRM2 yet.

I'll check that out!

So how does the Resource Management ruleset compare to, say, the survivor settlement stuff in Broken Earth?

In reply to Samus Aran (msg # 199):

Never looked at Broken Earth so someone else will have to compare.

HRM2 has quite a dependency on Hellfrost.
Not so as it wouldn't work in another setting just that all the details are specific.
You would need to rework all the details for a different setting.

Looks like it will be nice for grounding a party at a location.
Should provide more than just random missions for players to do.

What all does it do?

I posted a summary here.

Is there a Hellfrost topic header here? If so, I missed it.

Could one be added?

I've tried searching and I am most likely just missing it, but has someone found a easy or quick way to roll dice using RPOL for Savage Worlds, that explode?

Yep! In the "Optionally" section, click "Reroll Max" and "Record Each Die". It likes to add 'em all up rather than finding the highest rolling exploding die, so you'll have to do the math yourself after you roll something like 1d8,1d6. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a Savage Worlds option in the die roller's system list. Pretty weird, but maybe because you look at the dice separately.

Reroll max works fine

08:59, Today: Strickland5 rolled 17,2 using d12,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (12+5)17,2.  Test .

Sounds like there will be a new kickstarter for a new edition of the Savage Worlds core rules. Lately known as Savage Worlds Black.

Yep - as well as updated versions of Fantasy Companion & Horror Companion.  The original projection was mid-late summer/early fall but would depend on other releases and general Kickstarter traffic for the time (per interview with Shane that might've been prior to the Dec 2017 GM's Table/Let's Run Savage Worlds episode you linked, or sometime afterwards in Jan/Feb.

I want to say it was on the Fantasy Grounds interview, but I might be mistaken.

so few Savage Worlds games wanting players!

Is that a good problem or a bad problem?

It's a terrible one! :P

Then start up a game & look for players!  ^_^    sadly, mine's on hold at the moment due to some IRL issues...

I put A LOT of time into campaigns I run, the research and the narrative. I just don't have the time to give it that I feel would keep the players interested and having fun.

I played and ran  Savage Flash Gordon which uses Savage Worlds Black rules. I loved it. It is so much easier. I'd urge people to buy SW Black if they have no interest in FG.

The updates in FG might not be Black Core, especially since the changes are specifically listed in "Setting Rules" chapter of FG and are called out as 'changes to Core to fit the feel of the setting'.

That said, I haven't heard/seen anything specifically on the forums or from Clint or Shane that confirms/denies it being a global change.  Best thing to do is wait for it to come out and give it a shot.
