This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So the new edition of Savage Worlds is out now

Quote from: tenbones;1069299Honestly I thought that too...

But once I got my copy - it's really a collation and tweaks of ALL the rules that have propagated through various settings books since 2011 when the Deluxe rules dropped.

Well that makes more sense then. Because I was thinking where all this new ruled stuff was coming from.

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1069253The problem is I have a hard copy of the last Deluxe Explorer's Edition and I'd like to know what exactly the changes are.  I'm hoping there's a free update.  I'll get the new book, some day.  But drummin' up the 12 bucks (CDN) is sadly harder than it should be.
As others mentioned, it should only be $40 USD. The PDF is currently available on DrivethruRPG for $10 USD. And keep an eye on Amazon once the physical book comes out. (I'm a KS backer, as I like to support game companies and FLGS directly, but understand that's not practical for everyone.)

The definitely will be a free conversion guide. Pinnacle has stated as much.

Oh the PDF is already out?  Cool.  I'll see if I can swing it this month.  Probably not, but we'll see.

Too bad they're not doing a cheap softcover. I think their SW cheapo versions did lots to promote the game.

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's Actual Play with the new rules.

They might eventually though they are a rpg company and it makes sense for them to make as much money as they can off the more expensive version than release a cheaper PDF down the line.

OK. The Opening Post has a link to the new $10 PDF. Which is available right now before the physical book is purchasable.

The physical book is going to be a $40 hardback. They looked into softcovers, found out that with the price increase that it wasn't worth it to even offer that option anymore. Apparently they got a special one time deal for the $10 deluxe edition and that just isn't happening again. Based on products like Flash Gordon, a softback would have been $30.

Who here would prefer a $30 softback over a $40 hardback?

Might not be bad to wait a bit, if you're not going to use it right away. It's not currently in it's final draft form, but getting close. Finalized version should be ready to go early next month.

$40 for a hardback is good.

$20 for B/W softcover would be good too.

Of course, $60 for a hardback is perfectly fine if you play the damn game lots of time. RPG ROI is all based on actual play.

Why yes, it is Savage Worlds.

New editions are backwards compatible so being an entirely different game isn't really on the table for changes.

It seems to me it's still pretty much the same game. They have just rearranged some skills and attributes in a way that makes more sense to me.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!
