A veces nos compramos juegos de rol donde el sistema no llega al nivel que quisiéramos, o que no se apega a la temática que proporciona la ambientación. Esto puede ocurrir porque han tratado meter una ambientación famosa con calzador o simplemente por contentar a la mayoría. Para estos casos, puedes hacer dos cosas, o bien lo dejas aparcado en la estantería y solo lo lees para que te aporte ideas para otros juegos, o coges un manual genérico y le aplicas los cambios razonables para jugarlo. A pesar de que puede suscitar algunas suspicacias, tener un manual sin una ambientación base, nos puede ser útil ya que si la ambientación es lo que da colorido al conjunto, el sistema es lo que mantiene en pie y lo convierte en un juego.

I'm starting up a game of Savage Worlds in the near future, and I know I found a black-and-white character sheet that didn't have setting branding on it on the Pinnacle website at some point in the past. I looked through the Free Downloads section, and the Character Sheets tag, but I couldn't find the character sheets that I'm looking for. Dec 06, 2018 From the Explorer's Edition Deluxe PDF description:. The contents of the Savage Worlds Deluxe: Explorer's Edition and Savage Worlds Deluxe are the same. The Explorer's Edition is formatted for 6.5'x9' while Savage Worlds Deluxe is 8.5'x11'. Here it is: Download it here: Character Sheet Savage Worlds 2.0 – taburpg.wordpress. Many of you asked why the character sheet doesn’t have two pages. It was a design decision early on, I aimed to that the one page is all you need to play. I love the simplicity of the old AD&D and White Wolf sheets, and tried something similar.

Creo que todos los master pasamos por una época donde vemos posibilidades de trasladar nuestras series favoritas a nuestro sistema preferido, pues bien, los sistemas genéricos ayudan a ello. Por lo que tener un sistema nos permite centrarnos en la creación de la ambientación (nota del master: sino jamás tendría sistema para mis partidas inspiradas en algunos comics indie de poca notoriedad).

Cambiando de tercio, aunque me dan envidia los juegos que utilizan miniaturas para llevar las acciones de los personajes, siempre los he encontrado un poco lentos, demasiados frentes que llevar, los jugadores deben llevar un libro bajo el brazo, siempre tienes el peligro de encontrarte con un juez de las reglas etc. Pero si encontramos un juego de este tipo que lo hace muy rápido y sencillo y si a eso le añadimos unas buenas ambientaciones que complementar este manual genérico tocando muchos géneros, pero más en profundidad el sobrenatural, pues mejor que mejor.

Savege Worlds fue creado por Shane Lacy Hensley y publicado inicialmente por Pinacle Entertainmente Group, ha sido trasladado y maquetado en castellano por los chicos de HT Publishers. En un tomo de 240 páginas en tamaño cuartilla, lo que hace que sea muy manejable. Eso si, nos encontramos con una letra algo pequeña para el grueso general del libro, y desgraciadamente, minúscula en la parte de tablas. Pero es en la parte de las tablas de ventajas y desventajas donde se lleva la palma y hay que tener una lupa para poder leerla.

Pero hablemos del contenido que es lo que interesa.

El primer capítulo trata el tema de la creación de los personajes, teniendo en cuenta todo lo que quiere abarcar, el tema es bastante amplio. Al principio nos viene un resumen de como lo haríamos. En este caso utilizamos el sistema típico de colocación de puntos.

Primero se escogería la raza, aunque en la mayor parte de ambientaciones seremos un humano y por lo tanto obtendríamos los bonos usuales, en ambientaciones fantásticas o de ciencia ficción, puede que haya la posibilidad de escoger otras especies humanoides (o quizás algo más extravagante). Funcionan similar a los arquetipos, los dos son unas plantillas que gastan x número de puntos facilitando la creación (a menos puntos, más fácil decidir donde dejar el resto)

Luego tenemos los atributos y habilidades que se manejan con un dado de d4 hasta d12. Los atributos empiezan con d4, pero hay 5 puntos, a punto por dado superior (d6/d8/d10/d12) y 15 puntos a repartir en las habilidades, teniendo en cuenta de que hay que pagar un punto para tener el d4 inicial.

Cuando terminemos esto debemos calcular algunos valores derivados, como el carisma, el paso (el movimiento, ya que tiene ciertos puntos de juego de miniaturas), la parada y la dureza.

Para aún más personalizar a tu personaje, tenemos un sistema de ventajas y desventajas que darán algunas ayudas extra al jugador. Luego tenemos la elección del equipo y por supuesto el consabido trasfondo, que aporta colorido al personaje.

El segundo capítulo tenemos un gran inventario de donde elegir, aunque se ha de cambiar el sistema monetario, ya que han puesto uno genérico para tener una cuenta de que gastamos y de que daño/utilidad nos proporcionan los diferentes objetos que nos podemos encontrar.

En el tercer capítulo nos encontramos con el sistema, que en todos los genéricos es el corazón del libro. Y en este caso busca sencillez en las tiradas y mucha facilidad de matar, o en el peor de los casos, morir. Los personajes en juego se dividen en dos, los comodines que serían los protagonistas del juego o los pnjs más importantes, que además de que tiran más dados, también pueden utilizar los benis, que son fichas que se pueden gastar por ayudas especiales.

Las tiradas se efectúan así, primero se decide una dificultad base, que usualmente es de 4. Los que lleven la acción tiran sus dados, en el caso de los comodines, lanzan su dado de rasgo, el de habilidad si lo tienen y el dado extra por ser comodín (un d6), estos resultados se relanzan si alcanzan su valor máximo. Eso si, son resultados aparte, por ejemplo el dado extra, no se suma al dado de rasgo. Y por cada dado (o si la suma del mismo dado) supere 4 es un éxito, llamado aumento, lo que hace que la acción sea aún más potente para quien la realiza.

Los benis, permiten repetir tiradas (quedándote con el valor mayor) o absorber daño (lo cual es muy bueno, porque si os dais cuenta un pnj con una tirada muy grande puede mandar al otro barrio a un pj). Por supuesto, los benis son finitos y se deben recuperar, metiéndote en problemas por culpa de tus desventajas.

El resto de mecánicas beben de esta base, pero hay que detallar dos cosas más del sistema. Es el caso de las iniciativas, que se realizan al coger cartas de una baraja de poker, las cuales también sirven para dar ciertos giros de guión según el palo de la carta, y el caso del comodín, que da un +2 a las tiradas de rasgo y daño durante ese turno. Ya que cada turno se coge una nueva carta.

En cuanto al daño, los éxitos dejan aturdidos a quien los recibe, y son los aumentos los que producen daño, por supuesto, hay que tener en cuenta de que si las criaturas están ya aturdidas recibirán daño.

En el capitulo cuatro nos encontramos con varios subsistemas para dar aún más personalidad a nuestras ambientaciones, cosas como los aliados, los combates de masas, los conflictos sociales, el miedo, las persecuciones etc…

En el capitulo cinco nos encontramos con los poderes, que no solo tienen que ser hechizos mágicos, sino superpoderes de los superhéroes del comic americano. Casi se podría considerar un subsistema más.

En el capítulo seis nos encontramos con las ayudas a la dirección, aunque quizás sean un poco genéricas, pueden aportar ideas tanto al master novato como al que tiene más mundillo. Tratan sobre como unir a los personajes, la creación de mundos, el trato de los pnjs. Etc…

En el capítulo siete nos encontramos con un bestiario quizás algo breve, pero que nos aporta ejemplos para hacer nuestras propias criaturas, tocando un poco de todo de varios géneros.

Y el último capítulo nos proporciona unas cuantas aventuras de una hoja para probar el sistema y el tono que deberíamos dar a nuestras partidas de Savage Worlds.

En definitiva, con sus claro oscuros ¿Qué pienso de este manual?

Teniendo en cuenta un precio interesante por un manual de este tamaño (solo 20 euros), la resistencia del manual, las ambientaciones que tocan y que la editorial va a tener a bien traer al español. Pues le puedo perdonar un ligero traspiés que no es tan exagerado como lo pintan. En cuanto al sistema, pues es sencillo y divertido, quizás los personajes no tengan toda la personificación que deberían.

Espero que os haya sido de utilidad y encontrad vuestro momento salvaje.

Savage Worlds is a generic role-playing game written by Shane Lacy Hensley and published by Pinnacle Entertainment Group. The game emphasizes speed of play and reduced preparation over realism or detail. The game received the 2003 Origin Gamers' Choice Award for best role-playing game.^[2]

Settings[edit]

Although Savage Worlds is a generic rules system, Pinnacle has released 'Savage Settings'—campaign settings or modules designed specifically for the Savage Worlds rules. These have included Evernight, 50 Fathoms, Necessary Evil, Rippers, and Low Life. Pinnacle has also published setting books based on the company's earlier lines, including Deadlands: Reloaded as well as the Tour of Darkness,Necropolis, and Weird War II settings based on the Weird Wars line.

Beginning with 50 Fathoms, the majority of settings released by Pinnacle feature a concept known as a 'Plot Point Campaign'. In such campaigns, a series of loosely defined adventure scenarios are presented. A main storyline is presented as a series of 'Plot Points' and additional side-quests (or 'Savage Tales') expand the scope of the campaign. This format allows a group of characters to explore the game universe while playing through (or disregarding) the main storyline in a manner similar to that of role-playing video games.

A licensing system is in place for electronic and book publishers to release material for the Savage Worlds game. Such 'Savaged!' licensees are allowed to use the Savage Worlds mascot 'Smiling Jack' as a logo on their products. Multiple PDF adventure scenarios are available using this licensing system, as well as setting related supplements like the Vampire Earth RPG Sourcebook and the Suzerain Legends RPG meta setting.

System[edit]

Character creation[edit]

Player characters are built using a point allocation system, though game masters are encouraged to design non-player characters to the needs of the game rather than to fit the system. Characters in Savage Worlds are composed of a variety of statistics: these include Race, Traits, Edges, Hindrances and sometimes Powers.

Race[edit]

A character's race usually refers to their species, which may apply positive or negative modifiers to characteristics. In some settings (such as the Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG) this may instead refer to nationality. Nationality-based differences may occur in campaigns where certain Skill specializations, Edges and Hindrances are affected by cultural or technological differences or are included to add flavor to a character. For instance, in Deadlands: Reloaded a non-Chinese character may learn Chinese Martial Arts but cannot acquire and use its Chi-based Powers. In Weird War II American, British, or French soldiers have special Edges and Hindrances to reflect their different national and military cultures.

Traits (Attributes & Skills)[edit]

A character's traits are characteristics that are rated by a single polyhedral die. The more sides the trait is rated in, the better the character is at the trait—ranging from a 4-sided die (d4—the lowest) to a 12-sided die (d12—the highest). For example, a character with a Strength trait of a ten-sided die (d10) is stronger than a character whose Strength trait is rated with a six-sided die (d6). Traits are divided into Attributes, which are inherent, and Skills, which are learned.

The five Attributes used in Savage Worlds are Agility (physical precision and speed), Smarts (mental power), Spirit (willpower), Strength (physical power) and Vigor (physical health). Attributes start at Level 1 (d4) and cost one point per additional level; Level 1 (d4) in an Attribute would cost nothing and Level 5 (d12) would cost four points. The number of points assigned to spend on Attributes is usually 5 points, but can be more in certain game worlds.

Attributes are also used to set the point cost of skills in that Attribute's group. The player can buy levels in a Skill at cost as long as its level is lower than its controlling Attribute. The point cost doubles if the Skill level exceeds the controlling Attribute. For instance, Healing is a Smarts-based skill. If a character has a Smarts of Level 1 (d4) and wants to buy the Healing skill at Level 2 (d6), it will cost 3 points—one point for Healing at Level 1 (d4) and two points for Healing at Level 2 (d6). If they had a Smarts of Level 2 (or d6) it would only have cost 2 points—one point for Level 1 (d4) and another for Level 2 (d6). The number of points assigned to spend on Skills is usually 15 points, but can be more in certain game worlds.

In addition to Attributes a character has the following derived statistics: Pace (ground speed), Parry (the ability to defend one's self), Toughness (resistance to damage) and Charisma (presence and charm). Some setting supplements add a fifth derived statistic such as Reason (problem solving), Sanity (mental health) or Grit (mental strength) to reflect the special needs of the game world.

Like in the FUDGE and FATE systems the skills are broad and allow the character to use them for a variety of related tasks. For instance, a character with Fighting would not just be skilled in fighting with their bare hands or with melee weapons. They might also be able to identify and counter an opponent's fighting style, know the name and reputation of a skilled fighter they meet, figure out the nationality and rank of a soldier by their uniform and insignia, or locate and hire a mercenary or bodyguard. Healing could be used to diagnose an illness, identify medicinal herbs or pharmaceutical drugs, find a healer or medical specialist, or prevent a disease outbreak in an encampment by organizing sanitation protocols.

Edges and Hindrances[edit]

Characters are also customized with advantages and disadvantages known as Edges and Hindrances. Edges and Hindrances, unlike Traits, are not rated with dice. Edges (character advantages) cost points, are based on their character Rank (Novice, Seasoned, Veteran, Heroic, or Legendary), and are unlocked as the character levels up. They are also grouped by Type, which may—depending on the campaign or world—affect their availability. Beginning Edges can only be granted at character creation. Social Edges affect interaction skills. Combat Edges affect the character's fighting skills and Leadership Edges affect group or massed combat. Professional Edges are related to the character's job or role and affects their career skills. Power, Weird, or Wild Card Edges are supernatural, paranormal, or superhuman advantages and grant bonuses to Powers; they may not be available in mundane game worlds. Hindrances (character disadvantages) grant points and are ranked as Minor (which grants a character point) or Major (which grants two character points).

Powers[edit]

Some game worlds have the option of granting superhuman abilities to characters—usually with a magical, mystical, technological, psionic, racial, or mutant origin. They are ranked like Edges (Novice, Seasoned, Veteran, Heroic, or Legendary) and can be expanded by leveling up.

Task resolution[edit]

Dice are rolled to determine the outcome of character actions and interactions in the game. Usually a trait die is rolled against a target number of four. If the roll equals or exceeds the target number, the action succeeds; otherwise it fails.

If a player rolls the highest number possible on a given die (such as an 8 on an eight-sided die, a d8), the die may be re-rolled and its result added to the initial roll. This is known as 'Acing'. A die may continue to Ace as long as the highest die number is rolled.

Player characters and significant non-player characters are known as 'Wild Cards'. Wild Cards get to roll a second die, known as a 'Wild Die', alongside their trait rolls. This roll may Ace as normal. The player of the Wild Card uses the higher of the two rolls (trait die or Wild Die) to determine the actual result of the roll. In addition, Wild Cards also receive a number of Bennies (slang for benefits, also called poker chips in Dead Lands) per session. These can be traded in to reduce or negate damage from a given attack, or reroll a trait die. They are used as rewards for good play.

Combat initiative is determined by a standard deck of playing cards (with two jokers); characters act in sequence according to the fall of the cards from highest to lowest. Ties are broken by suit (in order from best to worst: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs). Jokers beat all other cards and additionally give bonuses on rolls made in the round one receives them. The deck is shuffled at the end of every round in which a joker was dealt.

Any player that receives a joker during initiative may take his action at any time during the round. If they want to act first, or in response to another PC or NPC acting, they may at any point.

History[edit]

In 1997, Pinnacle published Deadlands: the Great Rail Wars, a miniature wargame set in the 'Weird West' world of Hensley's Deadlands role-playing game. The rules were a greatly simplified version of the full Deadlands system, focused on single-figure skirmishes.

In 2003 the rules from The Great Rail Wars were revised and expanded into a generic, simple but complete role-playing system and retitled Savage Worlds. At Origins 2003, Savage Worlds was awarded the Gamer's Choice Award in the Roleplaying Game category.^[2] The main rulebook was revised and released as a PDF format eBook in late 2004, with a print version following in early 2005. The same year, Great White Games began releasing rules expansions in the form of several PDF format genre toolkit books. Self-contained miniature skirmish games based upon the Savage Worlds engine were also released in print and PDF form.

Deadlands Reloaded, a version of the game using the Savage Worlds rules, was released in May 2006. In late 2005, Pinnacle entered into an agreement with WizKids to publish self-contained RPGs set in the worlds of Pirates of the Spanish Main, Rocketmen, and MageKnight using the Savage Worlds rules.^[3] Of the three licenses, only The Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG saw release, and was published in April 2007. Pinnacle released another licensed game, The Savage World of Solomon Kane, in 2007.^[4]
