Great session with six players (plus my wife) who have played in at least one session of one of my 80s games before. They keep coming back. After the playtest, I realized that this session was going to be more about they characters than the gadgets (like Knight Rider and Airwolf). I even modified the…

Savage 80s: Miami Viced (RonCon Fall 2025.2)
November 1, 2025 Play test for the third installment of the 80s game. After rescuing BA from the Visitors, they find he was converted. While they were able to break some of the alien conditioning by putting him in a plane with Murdock, they were not able to break it all. While BA goes through…
Savage 80s: V – The Rescue (Mythic 2024)
November 9, 2024 This is always very popular and I get a lot of attention for this. I revamped the characters for this and made them a lot more fun to play. They had some terrible rolls that night but it produced great story. Bionic Woman Jamie Summers nearly died and I think there was…
Savage 80s: V – The Rescue (Mythic Con West 2024)
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,…
Savage 80s: V – The Rescue (Playtest, RonCon Spring 2024)
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…
Savage 80s Test
If you can’t name at least half these characters, you are probably too young to play Savage 80s.
Savage 80s: V – Appalachian Mystery (JeffCon 2022)
November 11, 2022 I upgraded this with 8 players and a little more in the first combat. Added Visitor super soldiers, but never really pursued that storyline. I really did not have the opportunity because their critical failures were driving the stories more than anything else. This was a great session. Everyone embraced their characters…
Savage Visitors (The Sirians)
The Visitors are a race of advanced humanoid reptilian creatures hailing from a world near the star Sirius, according to the original text by Kenneth Johnson (novelization by AC Crispin). However, I think there needs to be some updating to the original concept. I think the Visitors need to be Savaged. So for my Savage…
Savage 80s: V – Appalachian Mystery (playtest)
March 5, 2022 (RonCon 2022 Spring) This was originally supposed to be be V- the Ultimate Battle but as I put things together, I realized that this could easily be a campaign, So the first part if Appalachian Mystery. The Campaign will be V- the Ultimate Battle. The playtest was an absolute blast. I had…
