General/Savage Worlds

Looking for Savages in Tallahassee

Posted on by daHeadRat / 0 Comment

We’re looking for one or two players to join our group. A couple of our current players will be moving out-of-town over the next few months. Although we flirted with playing Pathfinder, we’ve decided that we want to stick with/go back to Savage Worlds. Our current plan is to start playing some Deadlands soon and then pick up with our Hellfrost campaign (of which you can read about on this site). The Hellfrost campaign will be our “main” campaign but we’ll periodically switch to other settings for one-shots and mini-campaigns.

We typically play on Saturday evenings (from 7pm to around midnight) at my home in the Myers Park area. Adults only please (21+) and we prefer non-smokers.

If you’re interested or want more info, just respond here and I’ll get in touch with you.

Campaign Logs/Savage Worlds

And we’re back…kind of…

Okay…first off, we never really went away; we just went somewhere else (over here at Fat Rat Games’ Pathfinder Campaign Blog). Since this site went quiet, we’ve been doing a couple of different things. We’ve been playing some Pathfinder as well as doing some stuff that I can’t talk about…pesky non-disclosure agreements. 😉

I’m also looking for some new players to join our group soon. A couple of players are leaving town and so we’ll have some open seats at our table. If anyone in Tallahassee is looking for a game, get in touch with me.

We recently took a break from both of the above projects and got some more Hellfrost in! Only Rachel, Jamie, and Todd could make the session so we had the return of Wulfwynn, Cuðbert, and Taranis for a session. This is one of the things that I love about Savage Worlds…it is so damn easy to throw a game together on short notice. Hellfrost makes it even easier with the Hellfrost Encounters book! I grabbed a couple of encounters from the book…What Goes Up (Encounter #1) and, sort of, Hold the Line (Encounter #24) so guess what…

Spoiler Alert: There are spoilers from the Hellfrost Encounters Book 1…encounter #1 and #24 to be specific.

Unlike most of the other posts about our sessions, I wrote this instead of one of the players. Oh, we haven’t played Savage Worlds (much to the chagrin of some) for about five or six months so we were a bit rusty. 😉

Price of Immortality Session #4

Here is the campaign log from our fourth Price of Immortality session. This was written by Todd (who plays Lilac). My GM comments are in [italics and brackets.]

Note: There are, obviously, spoilers for the Price of Immortality trilogy below. In this session, the party continues its exploration of the Crypt. We also realize more and more that the module has some continuity issues and could have used some better editing.

Here is the campaign log from our second Price of Immortality (PoI) session. This was written by RJ (who plays Rodan and is a wee bit grammatically and spelling challenged). My GM comments are in [italics and brackets.]

The Price of Immortality Mini-Campaign

Posted on by daHeadRat / 0 Comment

I’m old and I’m lazy. That was the realization (acceptance?) that I came to this week. Although I had a great idea (at least in my opinion) for a test mini-campaign that combined elements of The Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde, The Lost City of Barakus, and, at least as inspiration, some elements of Ptolus, I’ve decided to shelve it. Why? Like I said, I’m old and I’m lazy. As one of those 40+ GMs with a full-time job and other hobbies (drinking beer counts as a hobby, right?), I don’t have a lot of free time to start with. I came to the realization that my campaign idea would take a whole lot of time and, to be honest, I’m just not willing to devote that much time to it.

Pathfinder Mini-Campaign Characters

Posted on by daHeadRat / 0 Comment

All of the players but one have created their characters. Everyone was given the option of using the Standard method (roll 4d6 and drop the low) or the Purchase method for generating Ability Scores. However, I did state that if anyone chose the Standard method, they would have to play the character regardless of how poorly the dice rolled. Everyone elected to go with the Standard Method. This resulted in some rather low scores for a couple of characters but nothing too horrible.
