I can say that this game system is a solid choice for library programming. It is also a system that applies well to a customized setting, for the GM who enjoys building their own world. There are published settings available for nearly every genre including Deadlands (Steampunk, western horror), The Last Parsec and Flash Gordon (both space settings), Rippers (Victorian horror), Rifts (Multidimensional Cross-Genre), Weird Wars (historical battles) and their most recently added version of Pathfinder (epic fantasy). The mechanics of the SWADE edition are largely the same across the multiple play setting possibilities. These cards allow the player to take a special action or influence the course of the game through their characters in unique ways. A GM may also choose to let players draw from an Adventure Deck at the start of a game session. Additional bennies may be given as reward during game sessions by the Game Master (GM). If any dice result in their maximum number they “explode” or “ace” and are rolled again with the result added to the first roll.Ĭharacters start each game session with a certain number of Bennies, which players can use to reroll dice (except in a few situations) and redraw a card from the Action Deck (Which is a Poker Deck used to determine the combat order.). ![]() ![]() PCs, and certain non-player characters, are considered “Wild Cards” in the game and every action gives them a “Wild Die” in the form of an extra D6 that can be rolled along with their stat roll, taking the highest of the results. Player characters (PCs) are created with a point-based system and points allotted determine the dice that are rolled to resolve skills or actions taken. Among the changes made to the system, SWADE introduced changes to tests of will, support rules for players to work together, chase rules, changes to the multi-action rules and doing away with some stats that were considered redundant. When launched, the game system was fully funded in under 5 minutes. The SWADE Edition came out in 2018 after receiving a phenomenal response from backers of the proposed game line on Kickstarter. Since that time the most recently published version of the game is called the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition or the “SWADE Edition” by the players of the game. It’s been through a few system revisions and updates over the years since that time and has been previously highlighted here in a review of Savage Worlds Deluxe. The Savage Worlds role-playing game was initially published in 2003 as a generic/simplified gaming system to be used with different world settings and stories.
