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...

Children of the Apocalypse (New Savage Worlds Kickstarter!)
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 →
Do You Homebrew, Bro?
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 →
Variant Bennies for Savage Worlds
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 →
Savaging Babylon 5
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 →

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 →
One Shot or Campaign
When I first got interested in Savage Worlds and started looking online for resources and communities, I noticed that there seemed to be two camps when it came to playing the game. The first was the traditional home campaign, where the GM and players run through a series of adventures creating a larger story arc.... Continue Reading →
The Family Game
Let me start this post off with a wee bit of history about my family game. My children’s introduction to role playing games lines up pretty much with my discovering Savage Worlds. I really discovered Savage Worlds in August 2016, when I learned that Rifts was being ported to that system. Being a rabid fan... Continue Reading →
D20 or Why I gave up the splat race
WARNING! Soapbox rant to follow! Still interested? Well then! In 1999 when it was announced that D&D 3rd edition was coming out, I was excited. I was currently running or playing in several games including Alternity, D6 Star Wars, D&d 2e, and a few of Palladium Books games, especially Rifts. I loved Rifts. Even... Continue Reading →
My First Game (With My Kids!)
A Savage Tale of character creation So, I got my kids interested in gaming (my daughter, age 13 & my son, age 8). They both seemed interested in a fantasy setting and both had ideas for unique characters. I decided to sit down and write up two characters for them. My daughter is an avid... Continue Reading →
