Game Master Advice and Savage Insight
Ok, some of you may have heard of this series, many probably have not. Deathlands is an action series written primarily for men. There is lots of fighting action, some romantic interludes and a fairly formulaic plot between books. I first found out about this when a friend from work let me download his extensive...

UPDATE: The book is now available through DriveThruRPG. So, let me start of by saying I was approached by the author, Scott Marchand Davis and asked to review the demo kit. That said, I have not been paid or otherwise bribed with free product or home baked cookies delivered to my house with a nice... Continue Reading →
Christmas just past and all the little ones are playing with all their new toys. There is also a slew of gift cards to use up as well. The kids want to use them on the latest video game or to get the electronic toy. What about getting a board game? I’m not talking about... Continue Reading →
Silly title, I know. Everyone homebrews, right? I’d like to know what you homebrew or house rule that is different than the core rules of Savage Worlds, or whatever other system you like. Such as Genesys, as many of my Nerds-International community like (That’s you J.Pierson!), or the Index Card RPG like The Murder Hobo... Continue Reading →
Welcome back! Last time, I talked about J.L. Herbert’s Savage Firefly. He did a great job in my humble opinion. I would use his pdf as is. But I’ve also been listening to a few podcasts that talk about how Savage Worlds works best when it is kept simple. So this time up, I’ll review... Continue Reading →
Savaging Joss Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity Part One While I have a very special fondness of my first subject on this series, Babylon 5 is not my favorite all-time sci-fi show. That would belong to Firefly. The crew of the Serenity, headed by the enigmatic Captain Mal is possibly one of the most well written series I’ve... Continue Reading →
As a gamer, I find inspiration for adventures and settings everywhere I look. Movies, T.V. shows, books, Pintrest, even hikes in Starved Rock State Park in Illinois. I hear other gamers mention a similar penchant to find inspiration in just about anything. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought a fairly cheesy movie... Continue Reading →
Let me open up with saying I don't play or know how the bennies work in Deadlands. I do know that setting has some unique rules as to how bennies are used. The following are some ideas I had to spice up the benny economy in play. I currently use the red and green benny... Continue Reading →
I was still in high school when the pilot for this show hit the airwaves. I was at a friend’s house (he taped the show; this was before DVR, after all). We both fell in love with the show immediately. By the time the first episode aired a few months later, I was hooked and... Continue Reading →
I’m a self-confessed videophile. I love a very wide range of T.V. shows and movies. Many shows or films that have been critical or box office flops I still love. Even those films reviled by many, I watch and enjoy, mainly because I can see the kernel of a game setting, adventure or campaign that... Continue Reading →
