One of the first […]

What’s Normal in Savage Worlds?

Since this is never explicitly spelled-out in the core rulebooks as far as I can see, it’s probably worth a post. (I originally worked this out in a comment thread that I doubt anybody but Russell is reading by now…) The default assumption in Savage Worlds is that typical Joe or Jane Citizen characters have […]

Ad Vance: To a More Vancian Magic

The tomes which held Turjan’s sorcery lay on a long table of black steel or were thrust helter-skelter into shelves.

Elves & Espers: CybOrcs

CybOrcs are a cybernetically enhanced Orcs, linked together into a hive-mind. They are the enemies of all other races, but most particularly the Elves; other races will be enslaved or eaten to sustain the organic parts of CybOrcs…Elves are converted into CybOrcs. CybOrcs can no longer reproduce sexually, so capture and conversion of Elves is […]

Elves & Espers: Klangons

Klangons are a race of bumpy-headed cyborg warriors, fierce and proud. Klangons are the name given to them by other races, for the way they borg themselves until they clang when they walk. Their own name for themselves translates to “The People” (or literally, The Non-Wusses). Klangon Tough – +1 Toughness Armor – +2 Armor […]
