This is an actual play of a game Tim ran at Fear the Con 4. Tim ran this for Paul (playing Tommy Lee), Wayne, (playing Slash), Scott from Thistledown AP (playing Alice Cooper) and Chris (playing Gene Simmons). t’s 1984 and the Hair Metal Bands are just about to destroy the bubble gum pop groups […]
This is an actual play from Fear the Con 4. Tim is Dming Savage Saturday Morning for Funnybooks hosts Andrew (playing Lion-O), Paul (playing Love-A-Lot) and Pete from Ohio (playing Scooby Doo), who are the last cartoons left after the eraser genocide wars started in the mid eighties. Apologies for the sound quality, we were […]
One of the most impressive things about Pinnacle’s Savage Worlds (in addition to how just simply entertaining the system is) is that not only are their products generally impressively professional, with excellent layouts, editing, writing and art, but also the products from third party companies that utilize Savage Worlds are equally professional.

I’ve been researching a lot of Savage Worlds material lately, since playing in three SW games during Fear The Con 4, and I came across the announcement of a new Savage Worlds Deluxe book that sounds pretty damn awesome.

Don’t you want some variety in your menu for game night?” I blinked in confusion. What? Not want sandwiches? No am make sense. Of course, The Wife is the same person […]
The Savage Worlds game system is perfectly suited for pulp adventuring. Just reading the rules brings to mind visions of mighty barbarians facing evil wizards with only their strength and steel to protect them, white knuckled adventurers discovering ancient temples housing timeless horrors, rakish heroes piloting shiny rockets and discovering forbidden planets, and smoky eyed, […]
If there’s one thing I suck at in my games, it’s predicting run time. Back in April, I thought I had one, maybe two sessions left in the first season of my This Empire Earth game. We’ve run two games since then and I still think I’ve got two more sittings before the curtain falls. […]
I was a little disappointed when I opened up the Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion and realized that it wasn’t filled with pictures of the half clothed Amazon warrior featured on the cover.
