The joy of old files or sometimes hoarding is good.

 After deciding to finally tackle the Savage Space update, I went looking for the files. I wrote it over 10 years ago. At first, I could not find any and started to worry I would have to pull everything out of PDF. But clutter old me found the old external HDD with the word docs on it. What a relief! Off into the cloud they go. Now on to actually working through them. Since I was surprisingly smart enough to save them as separate chapters instead of the single word document they where done in initially, I can go through chapter by chapter. I may do some live streams of this. Would that be interesting?

I actually considered doing a live stream while updating Eberron for Savage Worlds, but then I felt like it would be too much pressure and too distracting with respect to my processes. There's also a lot of working on something for hours only to scrap the approach altogether. LOL! 🤣

Oh absolutely. I am just considering doing the first "open the file, do a rough review and compare to SWADE", but not all the hours of work. That would be way too much pressure.

Yeah, I think a video or stream of initial thoughts could be interesting.

Differences of Pathfinder and Savage Worlds Combat and how they relate to Savage Design

Hello again folks. While reacquainting myself with Savage Worlds, I read an Interview from 2021, given around the Savage Pathfinder Kickstarter. In it I think Mike Barbeau said the following: "If you boil Pathfinder combat down to its barest essence, you're making a bunch of decisions managing your most important resource: hit points. You can still see the influence of grandaddy Chainmail in Pathfinder's design. You have so many tools to shift the flow of hit points in battle that you’re constantly discovering new strategies and tactics as you play. It's still a wargame at heart, which makes the decisions in combat feel so vital and fun. While Savage Worlds still has tactical combat that follows the same generalized principles as Pathfinder, when you take a hit, we want to scare the player. Taking a Wound is a big deal, especially since you can only take three before you're taken out. That said, Wounds modify your ability to succeed at rolls and negatively impact y

Revisiting Savage Worlds

 It has been a few years. When the SWADE Crowdfunding launched, I participated but never really got into it. I was burned out and wanted to avoid learning the changes to the system. Was a grumpy Grognard. Over the holidays, I finally had the muse to read SWADE. I am glad I did. The people I played with and followed had very negative opinions about SWADE, and I let it also colour my perception. But after finally digging in and reading it, it is an excellent system, and I look forward to playing it. I got deep into Savage Pathfinder for Christmas. Hopefully, I will run Rise of the Runelords this year with my online group. As a side effect, I looked at Savage Space again and will finally update it for SWADE and turn it into a SWAG product. Probably a bit too late now that the Sci-Fi Companion is at the door, but it's one of the most downloaded RPG supplements I have ever done and will hopefully find its place in some Savage Libraries once it's done. I plan to do regular posts here
