This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I have the Savage Worlds Explorer Edition but no supplement for it. Lately I've been reading about SW settings and these two, Hellfrost and Sundered Skies, have caught my eye.

What books do you need to get into them? What have you done with these settings?
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.

Nihil sine magno labore vita dedit mortalibus.

Hellfrost is a standard fantasy setting with a strong Scandinavian flavor. Magic does not use the power point system of the Explorer Edition. We have mostly used it for quick-n-dirty one-shots and played a few of the published adventures.

The Player's Guide is important, and the Bestiary is well stocked with fantasy beasts. The Gazetteer is probably the least important for actual play, and is largely a dry read.

The folks at Triple Ace support the game well with regular modules and expansions in PDF format.

Overall it is a solid game. Fun, easy to pick-up and not overly detailed.

Hellfrost needs 3 books to be complete.
Sundered Skies needs only the setting book itself, nothing more.

My character sheet was inexistant, and when I hastly made one the GM didn\'t care to have a look at it."

I do not actually believe you need all three books to play Hellfrost, only if you are a completest. The Gazetteer itself entirely optional and system independent, any fantasy atlas or home-brew setting will do. With the Bestiary, it is nice to have pre-generated bad guys that can be used in any Savage Worlds setting. The Player's Guide (and Explorers Edition) is really the only book you will need to play.
