I want to test Savage Worlds as a possible RPG to use for an upcoming West Marches-style campaign I'm thinking about starting. My favorite way to evaluate an RPG is to run a one-shot adventure (i.e., a single session with no further commitment and with no plan to continue a campaign).
The one-shot adventure is set in a sword-and-planet world (in the style of Burrough's Barsoom stories) where the initial character races available to play are Earthman, Hallranan (the alien, man-like people of this world), Greycats (large, sentient, cats with psionic-like abilities), and Mechmen (ancient, sentient-seeming machines that predate the Hallranan civilization).
The adventure is set less than a year after the Earthmen unexpectedly (and inexplicably) arrived on the planet Hallras. They've learned the local language, some of the customs, and have lived well among the Hallranan. But they've decided to set out to learn more about the planet (accompanied by some local friends they've made) and to find the other group of Earthmen that arrived with them (but set out on a different path.)
The game will be Sunday, Sept. 13, starting at 2PM in the Redmond area (either at Genesis Games & Gizmos or a local player's house)
If you're in the Seattle area and would like to play, please email me at ego _at_ anglicangeek _dot_ com.
