Re: Savage Worlds
In reply to GreenTongue (msg # 297):
Personally, I love the setting, it feels a bit more real than most modern fantasy settings for RPG's. It's clear Wiggy put a lot of care and attention to the culture of the world. That and I love some of the small touches: Undead didn't exist until the Goddess of Death went mad and threw open the gates of the underworld. Now a god that'd typically be your standard Paladin god has effectively taken her place. Sure, it has the standard great war of good and evil, but not many settings turn around and smack their world with a second great war between good and evil a mere handful of years after people barely survived the first.
I just wish there was a player's guide to the world. A small little handout I could give to players that didn't have setting secrets in it, just a quick rundown on the different lands and organizations so someone might know the difference between being from Angmark or the Crystalflow Confederacy.
Sundered Skies, especially with it's plot point campaign, is an excellent setting for a dark fantasy epic. Definitely not for everybody, of course, but I hope to one day run it through to its completion. Necropolis is interesting, but it's the Triple Ace Savage Setting I'm least eager to run, as far as the ones I own go. I have the books, I like the setting, but its never been one I've been eager to get a campaign going for.
