at 21:43 | IC: Savage Pathfinder playtest...I'm hoping to run a playtest of Savage Pathfinder.
If you're not familiar, it's the Pathfinder setting of Golarion converted to the Savage Worlds system. Golarion is a kind of kitchen-sink high-fantasy setting. Savage Worlds is a light-to-medium crunch system that focuses on pulpy action-adventure. That is to say: many of the same fantasy tropes you're probably used to, with more swashbuckling and derring-do, but with less paperwork.
Whatever your familiarity with Savage Worlds or Golarion, you're welcome to play.
To get right to the action we would be using pre-generated characters.
As this is a playtest we'd be largely focused on getting familiar with the mechanics, kicking the tires of the subsystems, and seeing what the game can do.
I expect we can work through the basics of the system and most of the subsystems in 2-3 months real time.
There's no guarantee of a campaign after the playtest.
Would there be any interest?

I've never played Savage Worlds, although I own a few pdfs. I have played Pathfinder though, and enjoyed it. I've heard that the SW system allows for better storytelling -- might be true, might not -- and would like to find out how it works.

at 10:46 | IC: Savage Pathfinder playtest...I love Savage Worlds as a system, but not tried it with Pathfinder.
I know it tweaks some things, mainly class edges and magic.
Are you thinking small scenes for trying combat and non-combat situations, such as DRamatic Tasks? Rather than a full blown campaign?

at 14:42 | IC: Savage Pathfinder playtest...In reply to Nu_Fenix (msg # 3):
My thought was to try to string things together in some kind of narrative thread rather than disconnected scenes. There’s also a short, 32-page module I could run, but I haven’t read that yet. Might need to add stuff to hit the subsystems I want to check out.
Either way, three’s enough to kick the tires, so let’s play.
