Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
March 2, 2024 The final game was Savage Saturday Night – my Savage 80s game. I have taken all the great 80s shows and brought them into a setting based on the classic 80 mini-series – V and V-the Final Battle (with a little influence from V-the Series). Shows like The A-Team, Knight Rider, MacGuyver,…
System: Savage Worlds Date: March 2, 2024 The big one – Savage Bloodshadows, The Voyage of the Doomed. I considered this the big one because I used my tramp steamer terrain, which everyone was impressed with. I was too busy running the game to take pictures, however. This was based on an adventure written in…
March 1, 2024 My first game was Friday night, Savage Star Frontiers – a version of Star Frontiers that I put together with a little influence from other games – Alternity Star*Drive primarily. I wanted to modernize the game but also preserve some of it’s quirkiness. The adventure – The Rogue Planet – was designed…
February 10, 2024 I cam up with a sequel to my first 80s game, based on one of the novels – The Florida Project. But first they have to rescue the BA Baracus from a moving truck. I like the idea of using the novels for plots for RPG one-shots. Next, maybe I will do…
System: Savage Worlds I converted an old adventure from the Fires of Marl Masterbook sourcebook, into Savage Worlds. I tweaked a little to take advantage of some of the story elements they chose not to take advantage of (time travel) and trimmed it down for a 4 hour one shot. It went pretty well. It…
If you can’t name at least half these characters, you are probably too young to play Savage 80s.
I am converting this adventure to a one-shot for conventions. The characters, for their own reasons, board the tramp steamer Jolly Marie, bound from Galitia to the city of Dela. The boarding and launch takes place at night from the docks in the Esler district. I happened to have a large steamer ship terrain piece…
While working on another adventure for a Savage Star Frontiers one-shot, I was looking at using the Sathars again and I still just don’t feel like they are all that threatening or scary. Even within my merging them into the Star*Drive Externals, I see them as just silly. Never have I really felt they were…
March 12, 2023 This went really well. I think there were some players that were just too tired to be challenged by my plot, while others did not have the experience in the genre enough but it still went well. Met some great people, great gamers and had a lot of fun.
February 25, 2023 Ran a playtest at my house, for RonCon Spring 2023. I took two adventures in Star Frontierman #1, an old fanzine for Star Frontiers and combined them into one story. I tried to dig deep and really capture the heart of Star Frontiers while at the same time integrate my most recent…
