Normally, when I introduce players to a new role-playing game, I help them make characters first. Most of the games I run are easy to learn or mostly familiar in concept to my players, but Savage Worlds is sufficiently different from what they have previously experienced that it might be wise to give them pregenerated characters for their first foray into worlds of a savage nature. It would be very handy to have copies of the SWADE Player's Book I could distribute (and I'll buy some when finances permit), but even so, I would prefer not to give them too daunting a reading assignment before they play, and most of my players like to dive in and learn as they go. So, pregens it will be. Once they start making their own characters (and levelling them up), though, I really need to get those Player's Books. I can't have players fighting over my rule book!
My copy of the SWADE Science Fiction Companion arrived yesterday. I have had the PDF since August of last year (q.v.), but I resisted taking a look until I could hold the actual book in my hands. Having done so, I now realize I could have written and posted my expanded ray gun rules for space opera settings without fear of running afoul of the Science Fiction Companion as there are no ray gun rules in those pages. So, I am now free to undertake that project. Meanwhile, I still need to run the game...
Happy Belated Flash Gordon Day!
The 7th of January 1934 marks the birth of one of the greatest science fiction sagas ever told: Flash Gordon. The creation of Alex Raymond, its message of cooperation amongst diverse cultures to oppose tyranny and dictatorship remains relevant. Ninety-one years later, Flash Gordon reminds us to set aside our differences, work together for the greater good, and do what is right no matter the cost.
