While I understand this is a trope of the genre, the absolute nature of the rule for PCs is certainly a bit cringe.

What if I WANT to play a corpo? Don't tell me how to wrong fun.

Jesus that's fucked up. So much for playing a game the way you want to, even cyberpunk let's you play as a corpo or a cop. Are they free league or just using Mork borg.

Funny how they don't understand capitalism or irony

Just checked out the free rules version. The game looks bad ass!

And they have a PDF bundle on sale at drivethru.

Thanks!

I can think of games where playing crooks could be cool, e.g. a Mafia or Triads game, but the giveaway cringe political part here is that you have to be against capitalism. So, you're probably playing communist crooks, which sounds considerably less cool ("let's send all the bad guys to gulags, or better, the killing fields!") and somehow I don't think this has nothing to do with the politics of the authors.

Any game that openly rails against capitalism in a non-setting way, I feel very inclined to steal/pirate and distibute wantonly. If the devs really hate free enterprise and property rights that much, who am I to force it upon them?

But honestly, these larping-commies don't actually hate capitalism, they just hate that other people are more financially successful than them. It's the same type of childish jealousy that causes a kid to break his sibling's toys; if they can't have it, no one can.

Yeah, and whenever the players complete a job, everyone in the country gets an equal share of the payout.
GM: "Okay, the job was for 50,000 nuyen. Split that 450,000 ways, you're take is... one-ninth of a nuyen. Eight more heist and you can buy a stick of gum."

-REBEL-COLLECTIVE MANDATORY NON-COMPLIANCE BULLETIN FOR THE PEOPLE!-

All punk rockers must spit on daddy at the same time with perfect synchronization or they are out of the group for being too conformist and must stop appropriating punk rock style like inauthentic posers. A good rebel is an obedient rebel who does things their own way the right way with the group as directed.

Savage worlds takes another step toward woke as in the fantasy companion races are now referred to as ancestry. The art has also taken a turn for more modesty. This is honestly depressing

I actually backed that too

. But as far as I'm concerned it will always race so fook 'em.

This does not surprise me, however. Ever since the history revision in Deadlands things have started to go downhill.

I feel you on that, I was planning on backing it too. I put it on the back burner until i could budget for it but now idk. The simps are defending the 250 percent price increase too

Original pdf for deluxe FC is ten bucks, hard copy I think it 19.99 at msrp. At least for the crowdsource it is 25 for pdf and 50 for hard copy which includes archetype cards. Pdf archetype cards are worthless and should be just included with the book, hard copy should only be a few a few dollars. It'll probably be 20 for pdf and 40 for a hard copy.

Either way it's a significant price increase from a game where The cost of books was considered cheap. I mean still not at wotc 150 dollar absurdity but still it's pricy for a supplement. It'll depend entirely on how much content they include that wasn't in the old fc to make it worth it. An extra page or two would not be worth it
