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.

Quote from: flyerfan1991;733332I've read it and found it very interesting.  I've got it on my list of games to run with the kids.

Triple Ace also has a desert game set in the same world as Hellfrost called Land of Fire, with the same production values and writing.  (Of course, it's all Wiggy doing the writing.)
Great, it seems Savage Worlds has a lot of settings I like. Deadlands, HellFrost, Day after Ragnarok. It's written in a very clear to the point style and the rules aren't too heavy and not too light either.
May I say that? Yes, I may say that!

Triple Ace does have a Musketeer setting for Savage Worlds too, but I've not played it.

It's definitely on my to - get list, if only to mind it for ideas. I'd not exactly call it vanilla fantasy - the accentuation on the Dark Ages (as in early medieval period style culture) itself takes it away from the faux - Age of Chivalry take most vanilla settings have.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed

Looks like the gazateer is the book to get whether or not you are using SW rules:

I like this setting, because it has 30 something different organisations and a lot of regions. I like this, because you can single out one area or one organisation. You don't have to use every region. You might choose to play a campaign in a knight order without ever running into one of the other factions. It's a bit like Fading Suns in that aspect.

Is this what people call a kitchen sink setting? It is different from WoD settings. In those settings the relationship between the factions is a key component of the game. You can't play a changeling game and only use two out four seasonal courts. That doesn't make any sense.


Kurt always pronounces everything wrong. Very funny considering he is a chemistry professor at some university.
