Mutants and Masterminds is good. Supers Revised is good. FATE is okay if you hate crunch. GURPS is okay-good if you love crunch. All four are highly versatile.

The only campaign I was in faltered early. Don't forget the drama.

Thanks. How is Worlds in Peril? I know some of the "Powered by the Apocalypse" games are way better than others, though I've never played any of them.

Why did it falter? And I won't.

I love how it is two hours away, only plays games on the nights I have to work late, and charges greater than MSRP for some things

Also the group that plays there are kind of elitist.

Experience is experience. Like, you know how some jobs want you to have previous experience? That's experience the real world.

Experience points are just a way to quantify that, just like games quantify strength and skill.

Crunch:I defeated a foe and got experience, which I spent to increase my weapon skill.
Fluff: I have more experience in combat and as such I am better at it.

Kiku-chan is exhausted, sleeping soundly now, and looking utterly relaxed once again. Er Yin doesn't look at you of course, but her tail slides across the floor to you and you twine the vanes of your own tail about the wickedly sharp metal bands of hers. You intended on discussing matters with her, trying to formulate some plan to help her heal, but instead you took care of that yourself. Which leaves you at something of a loss with what to do with yourself at the moment. You're not physically tired or even remotely sleepy, though you've used a small portion of your Shen in restoring your one-day-lover's body, and it's pretty obvious that she's got her hands full. Kiku-chan's relief at her master's restoration isn't just emotional; you're fairly certain there's a great deal of other stuff mixed into her feelings and needs there, and you're not entirely sure you want to wake her or separate her from Er Yin yet just because you happen to be up.

But you're having trouble just sitting now as well. The urge to be doing things is stronger than ever, and you have so much to do. Everyone except Er Yin is asleep, though Akari is on the edge of waking up. Not unusual for her when you're not in the room, you imagine.

[] Fetch tea for Er Yin and chat with her anyways.
[] Kiss them both and slip out of the house to deal with a personal promise.
[] See what Wood Eyes can tell you about your seer and sorceress.
[] Take some time and pray and meditate, give them this time together.
[] ….you could use a cigarette. It's been years.

So, two units tree revs, three units spite revs, enough to flexibly use for the different batallions which exist.

Could either buy the official models for them, costing £112.50

Or, I could buy my fourth treelord as a start collecting box, putting me at enough models to just paint spare dryads in spirit host colours for trees, red spirit hosts for spites.

>>48699474

I got mixed feelings with it for a number of reasons.

On the positive side!

>Fast combat that is resolved quickly pretty much universally but can still be dangerous as hell for the players
>Pretty easy to learn mechanics (Roll stat die plus wild die for almost all checks, take the higher result, if it beats a 4 you succeed)
>The rules for checks, damage, and all the fiddly bits are pretty much universal across all the different settings. You are primarily just manipulating the flavor of stuff while still applying the same result (for example, a shot gun blast, a telekinetic assault, and fire spell would all basically achieve the same effect and the rolls are going to be basically identical with just the core stat for those rolls to hit being different)
>You can pretty much make whatever character you want right out the gate you just need to respect edge and power point limits

The bad
>Give the character creations options being so vast, character creation causes a shit load of analysis paralysis
>People often try to break the game given the freedom of character creation and they usual fuck up and make useless character for the most part. (For example I had a guy make someone who only used explosive damage for attacks, he couldn't do shit when fighting in close quarters with his bros and just got beat to death constantly)
>It is difficult to make a big bad challenging if you are playing RAW because the players will usually drop them right out of the gate or you will make a big bad overpowered and characters will get absolutely smashed by them
>The story telling mechanics are kind of weak and it is primarily focused on combat. Very good combat though.
>Only needing that four to pass with exploding dice and two dice rolls available per turn and bennies getting kicked around? Yeah, failure is rare as hell.

>>48699474
It's an okay system. It has some strengths and some flaws, and it's kind of like a training wheels version of point-buy systems, like GURPS.

>how does it compare to other systems in terms of combat
The combat is generally pretty fast paced with a lot of quick kills. However, it relies on lots of critical hits (called Aceing) and highly variable burst damage. That means that with boss monsters, who have a lot of Toughness, you can sometimes get very, very long battles, where the players just cannot bring an enemy down, because in order to inflict damage, they have to get critical rolls. Damage is also weird. Because attack and damage dice explode, and because the system relies on that, you can have weird stuff happen. Sometimes a house cat can one shot a t-rex. Other times, a guy with 6 health can get hit for 40 damage and walk away without a scratch. Both of those things have happened in games I've run. The combat is just very random at times.

>social interaction
It does it okay. There is a subsystem for social conflict which isn't great. The Charisma stat is actually quite overpowered if you stack it from multiple sources, which allows focused charisma characters to overwhelm NPCs pretty easily.

>character creation
Similar to World of Darkness. It's half free form, half structured. You can KINDA do what you want, but there are hard limits on things, like how many Attribute points are possible, how high skills can go relative to their attribute, and so on. Good for creating pulp human characters. Less good for weird stuff, like aliens, monsters, supers.

>viability for campaign play as well as GM use
I've run several campaigns with it and had few problems. The system is relatively simple, and has a huge amount of source material, so it's pretty easy to set stuff up as a GM. The biggest issue is that skills are fucked up. You get too few of them at start, and they are hugely expensive to raise. I house rule them to be cheaper.

>>48699628

It can be off putting going into the system when you are used to something like Dungeons and Dragons because player balance is harder to achieve, the system is so different that it takes some getting used to as well. It also doesn't lend itself well to some play styles at all. For example an investigatory mystery game for a game so focused on combat is a poor mix. Horror is great though, just make the monsters way outside of the player's ability to handle and have them running the fuck away while PCs drop in super violent ways around them with getting out alive being the only way to 'win' a scenario.

The core rulebook is kind of fuddy about some things but they are easy enough to figure out and some of the supplemental books are better left avoided because they can get fucktarded. Super Powers for example, the character creation for that is needlessly complex for a lot of people. Having to differentiate between an always on power and activated power in regards to basic functions like super speed and explaining to someone 'Yes, your character CAN run as fast as the speed of light, however, you need to spend power points each time you activate that speed instead of just having it on and going' really makes them scratch their head at first.

On the whole, if you get a good group and competent DM, the Savage Worlds system is pretty stellar for combat heavy games with a lot of character customization. It lends itself well to high adventure and epic battles across time and space and interesting locals, just don't expect super deep social interactions, character creation hiccups at first, and fully expect everyone to bitch that it isn't D&D. The counter to that last argument is to tell them 'YOU run D&D then.' (note this only works if you are a forever DM, because nobody else will run D&D without preparing for like a month in advance because they don't know the big DM secret of pulling shit out of your ass on the fly)
