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, and Airwolf are brought into one setting to fight the Visitor occupation.  The visuals for this were mostly things I 3D printed – Airwolf, Visitor ships, KITT and the A-Team van.  Of course, a chase was involved as well as air combat.  This game got a general playtest, but I felt like it might be a little too long and as it turned out, it was.  Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 also went long.  Phase 1 sent to them to occupied-Georgia to meet with Robert McCall – The Equalizer – for some intel.  Once there, he supplied them with the location of one of their missing teammates – BA Barracus.  However, before they could leave, the Visitors find them and attack.  This is a high-level game so the combat was going to inevitably take too long.  Phase 2 involved breaking BA Out of a moving truck which turned out to be a combination of both Goliath and KARR – old enemies of Micheal Knight and KITT (Knight Rider).  My intention was for them to then get intel from BA about the mission he was captured on and complete it.  This involved a secret laboratory in Florida and my Dr. Morrow mutants.  As it turns out, that was too much, so the freeing of BA from the moving truck was the ending of that adventure.
