Running a New Savage Worlds Game in Vancouver
Posted: May 20, 2013 Filed under: Savage Worlds | Tags: Vancouver RPG Savage Worlds Leave a comment »After a fairly long hiatus in which I’ve been playing a WoD/CoC mashup, I’m finally back to running my own Savage Worlds campaign, starting next weekend. Since I got a shared office in downtown Vancouver, I’ve also got an excellent base from which to run games (My cramped living room was never ideal).
The new Savage Worlds adventure is a sci-fi adventure game, sort of a mashup of hard SF and other influences like Gamma World, Fallout and Cormac McCarthy’s story, The Road — details at the Vancouver Roleplayers’ Collective Meetup group. If you’re in my hood, feel free to check it out. I’m pretty stoked.
Though I’m less than stoked that all of the Pinterest images I threw onto this blog are now toast. Seriously… I’m going back to Flickr.
Looking Forward to a Savage 2013

We started the Savage Games blog back in April to document our Savage Worlds RPG play-throughs, publish a bit of gaming-inspired fiction and just throw ideas around about how to keep improving the experience for Players and GM’s alike. After an extended holiday break and some time for our gaming group members to get through some personal transitions (moving house, starting school again, recovering from nearly being killed by a goddamned tree), I expect we’ll be back in full force with some fresh updates.
To make this blog a bit more useful to readers, we’re also thinking of publishing more Plot Point Campaign summaries, character stats, maps — basically, offering a bit more value for our fellow gamers. No promises on any kind of regularity for that, but we’ll do what we can. Read the rest of this entry »
Favorite Line of the Night. Like Slapping a Dude in the Face

Continuing our Fifty Fathoms Savage Worlds RPG campaign last night, our brand-new boat was being chased by a cruiser-class sailing vessel that seemed up to no good. We turned around, fired some chain shot at its sails and, facilitated by some brilliant Boating rolls, escaped on the high seas.
Our unexpected success prompted this line from Ali:
“That’s kind of like you’re being chased by some big dude on the sidewalk, stopping, slapping him in the face and then taking off again.”
Yup. That’s what it’s like. Though to be honest, I was thinking more of the classic banana-peel slip-up gag. Either way works.
Taking One for the Team. Sex in Savage Worlds

Sexy stuff ahead. At last night’s Savage Worlds game night in a 50 Fathoms Pirate campaign, I decided to have my Wild Card character, Shaka Zulu (modeled partly on the character of Selena from 28 Days Later) seduce another Player’s character, Rags (an Asian martial arts expert who might look kind of like Seraph from the Matrix).
It was awkward (The other dude was clearly wondering what the hell was going on, even as he decided to just go with it. Our GM had us do some Agility dice rolls for fun and all was good, I suppose. To be sure, this was not a live-action RPG). Read the rest of this entry »
Obama Wins with a Success and Two Raises

Obama takes it over Romney with some exploding dice on a critical Persuasion roll aimed at the American people.
