Savage Worlds (SWADE) has quite a different take on many mechanics compared to the best known d20 systems. This can make it feel unnecessarily intimidating and even confusing. Join me in this interactive presentation to get insight how to get most out of the Savage Worlds system. The presentation is designed for everyone knowing the basic rules of Savage Worlds. We will cover topics such as:
• The challenges of the unintuitive probability curve • Exploding dice – A bug or a feature? • The importance of Critical Failures • Dynamic Initiative – Source of chaos or entertainment? • Bennies – A reward or a core mechanic? • Quick Combat, Dramatic Task, Chace…why so many minigames within a game? • Power Trappings – Meaningful feature or just a skin? • Making NPCs on the fly • Encounter ‘challenge rating’ • Savage Worlds – Toolbox or a system?
