Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (S2P10023) Hardcover – September 30, 2019

Savage Worlds is a great alternative to D&D. This system is a framework providing all you need to run games in a number of genres. Book is well put together, illustrations are excellent, and rules are explained clearly.

I've been playing TTRPGs since... the 1980's, I guess. I've been creating my own settings since the 90's, and I've played a lot of different systems. This(Savage Worlds) is one of my favorites, and has become so very quickly. I'd never heard of it a year ago. I think it has a good blend of efficacy and ease of use, and the games seem to flow well without getting bogged down by overly complex systems. I highly recommend it.

Arrived on time and in excellent condition. well package to ensure safety of it and other materials. Has that new book smell. Order thing along with the Deadlands box set. Can't wait to start running my first savage worlds game.

I bought this right about a week ago and have been cracking this baby open on multiple times a day. The binding is very durable, the pages are thick, and the print is magnificent! There are no ink smears, uneven pages, or anything to make me worried about the book falling apart. Plus...it's got that nostalgic new book smell. I'm a sucker for new book smell lol.As for the content itself, SWADE is very easy to grasp and will hopefully be something that my group runs for years to come! I'll be the GM for our Deadlands campaign and needed the basic rulebook for reference. It's fantastic and I recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit more flexible than Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder. You can play literally any genre with this ruleset and, as long as you have the basic concepts of combat, skill checks, and roleplay down, you're golden! It's worth at least a one-shot if not a full-on campaign!

God I love this book. Solid order. Good timing.

The Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE) stands out in the world of tabletop RPGs. Its sturdy hardcover, glossy pages, and vibrant artwork make it visually appealing to flip through. I was surprised to see that the book is a bit less wide than D&D 5E book. The gameplay lives up to its "Fast! Furious! Fun!" tagline with streamlined mechanics that keep sessions quick and engaging. The innovative use of "Bennies" adds a layer of strategy, allowing for creative and heroic feats.However, the simplicity might not suit those who prefer detailed mechanics. The reliance on exploding dice can also lead to unpredictable outcomes. Despite these minor issues, the system's adaptability to various genres—from sci-fi to fantasy to westerns—ensures a fresh experience every time.I recently ran a Deadlands campaign where the players' creative use of Bennies led to many memorable moments. One highlight was a grizzled mechanic rigging a bomb to turn the tide of a battle, showcasing the system's potential for epic storytelling.Compared to Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, Savage Worlds offers a faster-paced, flexible alternative. It's perfect for those seeking a dynamic RPG experience that fosters unforgettable stories and moments.

I got this mostly to silence the whining in my RP group, but it's actually an ok book. The Explorer's edition is better IMO.

I'm only going to review the physical book. The content is the content. Well constructed, and I was amazed to find that it had 3 built in ribbon bookmarks. Very happy with the purchase. Note, it's NOT as physically large as say a 5e DND book. It's noticably narrower. Print size is good for my old eyes. Very happy with the purchase.
