New Year New Game Sale: Savage Worlds Recommendations!

  The New Year New Game sale is on at DrivethruRPG, and here's the offers I recommend.

Whether you've never played Savage Worlds, or you're a veteran looking for something cool, here we go!



SAVAGE WORLDS ADVENTURE EDITION

Well, the core game is on sale and if you were on the fence, this a great time to grab the PDF for a reduced price. The latest edition, released three years ago, is a distillation of almost 20 years of gaming, and is my go-to rule system when I'm looking for something different from OSR games. I love the modularity of it, and the potential to bring to the table any kind of action-oriented adventures and settings I can think of.

AND SUPPLEMENTS

Despite the promotion is supposed to be about new games, a lot of supplements made it through the mysterious DrivethruRPG automatic selection and are on offer:

Savage Worlds Adventure Edition: Mini Settings - If you missed this, it's worth checking at a special price: four mini settings complete with setting rules and savage tales! 

Deadlands the Weird West - Arguably Savage Worlds' most popular setting. This is the latest edition, released in 2020, and features a retconned version of a setting that is incredibly rich and deep, combining horror, steampunk, and alternate history into an exploding mix.

Rippers Resurrected Players Guide - Victorian era monster hunters, willing to pay the ultimate price and sacrifice their humanity using rippertech in order to win the war against the forces of darkness. Gothic horror meets Van Helsing action, with one hell of a plot point campaign.

Crystal Heart - The fantasy setting with heroes changing their hearts with crystals to gain more power, includes a full plot point campaign.

Burning Seas of Hell - A mini setting (30 pages) with pirate, swashbuckling action, in hell!

Tropicana - A contemporary setting of action heroes, special agents and troubleshooters in San José, a (fictional) Caribbean state consisting of a tropical metropolis, its wild jungle hinterland and a small archipelago of paradise islands. Written by Mauro Longo and me, Tropicana is currently yours for less than $3!

Toy Troopers - War action, but with animated toys, fighting inside a house! A title that has received little attention so far, but worth considering for fun games!

Titan Effect - A superhero/spy thriller setting with lots of high tech gadgets and pyschic powers to fight against global conspiracies in the present day, as part of the SPEAR (Special Executive Assault and Recon).

Heroes of Terra: The Mushroom War - A Super Mario-inspired fantasy setting!


Nothing caught your interest? Well, you can still browse the 4270 titles included in the sale, and the 122 in the Savage Worlds category!
