Savage Worlds

I'm setting up to run a Savage Worlds (SWADE) game.

1) Is there any interest?
2) Pulp or Weird War II?

What would you define as "Pulp"? That could cover a whole bunch of stuff, like noir, sci-fi, fantasy, or anything else in cheap paperback form.

True, I should have been less ambiguous. Let's say 1930's adventures (not detective or noir) in the classic Doc Savage/Alan Quartermaine/Indiana Jones style. Maybe with a touch of weird science and some mysticism (not a lot, but just enough to be interesting).

What GURPS calls Cliffhangers!

Exactly!

This muses me, mucho. Got the savage worlds rules but alas never played.

Would love some two-fisted high adventure pulp action, myself! Interested if it swings towards pulp.
(I know SWADE pretty well)

Like @Valdus, I have the rules, but have never played. Would love to give it a try.

From the "Looking for Game" thread:
In case you want to reach out to the people who might otherwise miss this thread directly

How crunchy is this game/system going to be? In my ancient roleplayer eyes theater of the mind rules over rules.

The rules are a necessary evil, particularly for fast-paced action scenes. Having said that, I was never one to let the rules interfere with a good scene. In any case, it will all be TotM, I dislike using minis online.

I find SW to be pretty lightweight. Character Creation is simple as well, which is always a big plus for me

To me, lightweight is something like Tiny D6 whereas Savage Worlds is more mid-weight. But having said that, Savage Worlds is pretty straight forward and the dice exploding mechanic is terrific. You really can make a great roll with 1d6 and a minus 4 penalty.

I guess I will have to go the rules and find that out. Oh well, I guess this Alice is in the rabbit hole!

Some people call 5e lightweight 😆

Yea, it's more midrange than super light. But I feel like it's a pretty easy system to get the hang of. Doesn't really get in the way

Ha! No comment on that at the risk of being shunned for life. :-)

Totally agree with Savage Worlds being easy to learn.

+1 for mid-range rather than light, but it's also very traditional -- and easy to pick up, though raises and shaken and whatnot in combat can take a little grokking, in my opinion.

Tangent: Alice in Wunderland setting is interesting also...

It's a fun system I think.

SWADE has pulp setting called Pulp Fantastic. Probably worth checking out.

Hmmm, I'm using Thrilling Tales, but thank you for giving me something new to check out! Their preview doesn't give much away, but it might be worth the $15 to have a look.

You really can't go wrong. Savage Worlds is a blast to play!

Also, have always wanted to play The Goon...

I've been itching to play Savage Worlds online for a while, but never found a good way to handle the cards and exploding dice on previous platforms. I have SWADE and would be happy to join up in a game if or when it takes off.

Deadlands is pretty fantastic, but SW is loaded with lots of neat settings. I vote. . ."yes". :)

Found this simplistic explanation of SW

Yep. I love Up to 4 Players. They are great about explaining how systems work and this is no exception. They pretty much hit the nail on the head. Okay, there seems to be some interest in a pulp game, so I'll be setting it up in the next week or so and will post the link here.

Good luck! Hope it goes well. =3

Awesome.

I don't suppose there might be a spot for this still?

I'm back on the plane for the first time in a long time and would love some two-fisted SWADE fun. :)
