Adventure Calendar 2023 26: Savage Worlds

Adventure Calendar 2023
26: Savage Worlds

Yes I could stop like an actual advent calendar, but come on...

Not that Savage Worlds gives me much to work with as a system, being a generic system that errs on the side of pulpy.

I do have the main books for one its most supported settings, East Texas University, because it’s a Buffy kind of thing with students fighting monsters.

(I also have the first edition of Necessary Evil and skipped the second as they spoiled the best twist in their fundraising campaign.)

But the title - and another of the settings being Flash Gordon - suggest...

The Savage Worlds

A crew of pulp hero types from Earth find themselves captured by soldiers of an alien empire where the ruling court is a den of murderous intrigue, people are exiled to uninhabited planets and many conflicts are solved by duels to the death! And they call us savage?

Not particularly festive, but perhaps the heroes can free a rightful leader and family? And the 1980 film has a definite hint of panto.
