Introduction:
Savage Worlds
In barbaric worlds of fantasy and far-lung galaxies, great
heroes battle for gold, glory, justice, or mere survival. Some
wear mithril armor and wield massive swords glowing with
magical energy. Others are commandos in the latest ballistic
vests spraying lead from their submachine guns. Some aren’t
even human.
But they are all heroes, and their epic tales inspire those
who read them. This game system attempts to simulate
these incredible tales—at least in our imaginations—giving
form, structure, and challenge to the heroes and the savage
worlds they walk in with rules that are simple on the surface
and comprehensive in their depth.
The game focuses on the action rather than statistics and
bookkeeping, allowing the Game Master to concentrate on
the player characters, their foes, and the fantastic settings
they battle in.
For players,
Savage Worlds
has an extremely rich
advancement system that lets you create everything from a
swashbuckling rogue to a charismatic investigative reporter.
Some “generic” rules systems come up lacking in certain
settings.
Savage Worlds
avoids this with Setting Rules (you’ll
ind a list of common Setting Rules on page 94). These allow
the Game Master to fundamentally alter the feel of the game
without changing the basic mechanics. Players can explore
haunted space hulks in power armor, battle dragons, or surf
the matrix of a virtual computer world without having to learn
all-new rules. But throw in something like Righteous Rage
from Solomon Kane®—which makes a hero far more deadly
in his most desperate moments—and the entire feel of the
game changes in an instant.
What’s New?
This deluxe version of the
Savage Worlds
rules system is the
culmination of a decade’s play with suggestions and comments
gathered from our own campaigns and the thousands of
adventures we’ve run at game stores and conventions across
the globe. For those who have already played we think you’ll
ind this the most complete and comprehensive edition of the
rules we’ve ever published. We’ve compiled the best material
from our setting books and added in web updates like gritty
damage rules and interludes. Races and vehicles are back
from the irst edition, as well as the race creation rules from
the Fantasy Companion and a consolidated list of all the best
powers from our many expansions.
Veterans of our game will also ind a number of Design
Notes scattered throughout the book. These are insights into
why a particular rule is written the way it is and the thinking
that went into it.
For those who are new, we welcome you to the “Savages,”
and encourage you to join one of the most friendly, helpful,
and enthusiastic communities in gaming on our forums and
mailing lists.
And if you already own Savage Worlds and want a list of all
the changes or additions we’ve made here
completely free,
just go to our website at www.peginc.com!
Now let your imagination wander to worlds of danger and
adventure, where heroes are larger than life and monsters
stalk the land. These are savage worlds—and those who
survive them become legends...
