SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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, give me your pitches for games using Savage Worlds.

What's the concept? What's the twist? What do you think Savage Worlds would do well?



Annnnnnd......Go!

It's 1939, two years after Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were lost after leaving Papua New Guinea.
Her husband, G.P. Putnam, has financed a private search after hearing claims that Earhart and Noonan were captured when their aircraft crashed on Saipan Island, part of the Northern Marianas archipelago while it was under Japanese occupation. Additional equipment and assistance are being provided anonymously by the US government.

Earhart was spying on the Japanese in the Pacific at the request of the Franklin Roosevelt administration and her plane had been outfitted with special radio and photographic equipment.

Your team has been assembled to act on what information that has been collected and attempt to rescue Amelia and Fred, if where they are being held prisoner can be found.

You have a 78 foot motor sailer and can pass as tramp merchants moving goods between the islands if questioned by the Japanese.

Play it until my eyes bleed.

Tomorrow, I am resuming my Necessary Evil campaign.  From there, it looks like either Deadlands Reloaded or Savage Midnight (based off the now dead d20 setting) are in the queue.

I will be using it for the first time as a Solomon Kane/Captain Alatriste hybrid. i.e., 17th century sword fun, although finding Amelia Earhart also sounds like fun, especially if she's stumbled on to a passage to the Hollow Earth.

I feel like a bad person for saying this, but I have SWEE, and I haven't felt inspired to run...  Well, anything really.

SW is my fallback if I can't find takers for Flashing Blades.

If there is a heaven, it is the concert at the end of the movie.

Hummm... no reason that one of those empty volcano cones couldn't go deeper than you would expect ...

*Gives very interesting readings on the special recording equipment too.

I'm gearing up to run something in Northern Crown (the alt-history/fantasy colonial America D20 setting) using SW.  I've also long wanted to do a Midnight game using it as well.  Eagerly awaiting the SW version of Adamant's Mars (Barsoom) setting, which seems like a natural fit.
