For me the main one is to run Blades in the Dark for the very first time and maybe play through the Pendragon starter adventure.

    Savage Worlds. They call their fortunate hero inspiration point analogue ‘bennies,’ hehehe.

    I imagine Benny from F:NV spinning around and saying “what in the goddamn” every time it comes up

      It’s great! I’m running a campaign at the moment (or trying to, hosting Foundry behind a CGNAT is a pain and I’m 4-for-4 on services that haven’t worked for me) and it’s been a breeze to run. We ran 5e before, and the transition has been buttery smooth.

      Their main gripes about 5e was how slow combat was IRL, even with digital tools for dice rolling and calculations (mostly due to 5e’s HP bloat and action economy). My main gripe about 5e is that homebrewing feels like balancing a jenga tower of oddly shaped blocks. SW fixes both through sheer simplicity.

      We’re running a low-fantasy western themed campaign set in the british isles circa 1900 atm, and I’ve already got a cyberpunk+vtm campaign planned, a star wars campaign planned, a concept of a witcher campaign (want to nail the themes and storytelling logic of the books), and a ragnarök campaign planned.

      I was window shopping other systems when I got tired of trying to nail a cyberpunk red homebrew for 5e, and starting designing my own system, only to discover it already existed in the form of Savage Worlds, even down to how feats and antifeats work in it (edges and hindrances). As if it was tailor made for what I want to run.
