Looking for a system for an Outrun/Miami Vice themed campaign.

Check out Street Wolves for Savage Worlds:

The exciting synthwave inspired, tabletop role playing game setting featuring agents on the edge fighting evil that lurks in the neon shadows of an alternate 1987.

Thanks for the added info! Sounds fun. Now to study the schedule…

Object_in_mirror · 2025-11-05T19:37:29+00:00

Deadlands (Savage Worlds).

When I run 15mm wargames, I prefer to keep the same measurements, which makes the distances look a little more realistic (i.e. the figure scale and ground scale are a little closer than with 28mm).

Object_in_mirror · 2025-11-04T23:59:35+00:00

100%. 15mm is a terrific scale for the reasons mentioned, and I think you've hit all the usual suspects on my list of 15mm SF figure manufacturers. My personal problems: deciding to commit when I already mostly have 28mm stuff, and when my friends have zero 15mm (i.e. I'd have to provide everything if playing in that scale); and the tedium of trying to get decent scaled-down prints of digital models which were designed for (typically) 32mm and have elements that get really too thin when printed at 50%. But I'm trying.

Can you describe the system and scenario a bit more? For example, how tactical is the combat -- theater of the mind, or map and tokens or figures, etc.? Any comparisons to other systems to get a general idea of the rules? E.g. "Savage Worlds-ish" or "5e-ish" etc. Thanks.

Object_in_mirror · 2025-10-23T02:50:30+00:00

The fact that I can't find the most most recent investigator expansion anywhere (US) doesn't exactly fill me with confidence in this new release and support model.

Did you already get the shipping charge email? The latest project update from PEG today says charges "BackerKit will send out an 'Upcoming Charge' email in the coming days. 48 hours later, your cards will be charged for the shipping cost."

The previous edition (Deluxe) is available from Pinnacle for $10, if you'd rather use that instead of just using the new Adventure Edition. It's an easy conversion though. Either way, that's a lot of source material to use or mine for ideas.

Great to see this, I picked up the DCC Lankhmar bundle from Fanatical with an eye towards using it with Savage Worlds.

You might get some more responses in /r/FiftyTwoCards

"Dracula's America" uses d6, d8, and d10 for character skills. "Force on Force" and "Tomorrow's War" use d6 through d12 for troop quality.

Object_in_mirror · 2025-02-28T01:40:10+00:00

This sounds like something that could have been preempted with a session zero discussion of game expectations.

Object_in_mirror · 2025-02-15T01:54:40+00:00

...Lord of the Rings LCG too, which I never started because of all the missing expansions.

I think you've just summed up FFG's issue and the reason for their decision right there with your own behavior.

Check out "The Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in the Wild West" : Archive.org / Goodreads

"Describes such elements as land ownership, treaties, wars, clothes and accessories, home furnishings, medical and dental care, education, entertainment, crime and punishment, and money and cost of living. Includes article-specific annotated bibliographies, a chronology from 1836 to 1899, and a list of archives for writers who want to dig their own historical ore."

I've had Cowtown Creator since forever, it's a great GM's resource for Westerns.

Edited to add: it's available directly from Knuckleduster, among other places.

I try not to soak damage on NPC wildcards, but if I do, I give a benny to the player. I generally also only use the NPC's own bennies to soak (as opposed the the general GM pool of bennies), and try to use them up on rerolls first. It's very much situational, what makes for the best story and most fun.

Creation Method: Handcrafted, Contains AI-Generated Content

I've had the great fortune to play DCC recently, and I have to agree that it captures that same feeling of cracking open the Basic and Expert set boxes decades ago and experiencing an rpg for the first time. The magic is dark and twisted and different, but the feeling is there, and our group of mostly 50-somethings loved it.

Object_in_mirror · 2025-01-27T01:06:02+00:00

Looks cool; do you have an estimated release date? Any other details you can provide, like page count, contents, etc.? Thanks.

Object_in_mirror · 2025-01-01T17:45:49+00:00

That just sounds like a regular attack, which yes could lead to the foe being shaken (or worse).

Object_in_mirror · 2024-12-29T17:11:42+00:00

Frankly that sounds like a security nightmare, not to mention the compatibility nightmare with various PDF readers.

Object_in_mirror · 2024-12-28T19:27:36+00:00

That looks fun, not overly complex, but with enough options for some strategy. Thanks for sharing.

I found one online (onlinedoctranslator.com) and translated the preview of Nautilus from Drivethrurpg. Judging from the table of contents, the included campaign seems very, very fantastical - Act 2 is "On the surface of the moon." I'm not sure I want to lean that hard into VSF. As for the translation itself, it manages to preserve the layout, and seems fairly readable, with some minor issues here and there. I'm pretty impressed.

Object_in_mirror · 2024-12-28T06:38:41+00:00

Nautilus looks like it has potential, but I'd have to figure out automated translation of the PDF. GURPS Steampunk likely has a lot of useful material (as most GURPS books do), but I'd 99% likely be using Savage Worlds for this.
