I enjoy Role Playing Games and systems. I've played DnD, pathfinder, Star frontiers, and the og star wars system. But by far my favorite is Savage Worlds.
It's a terrible name, but a fantastic system. It's generic, so it works with any setting, and the great thing is you can add more rules to make a setting that much better. You wanna have a JoJo campaign? Easy. How bout Star wars? Yep. You want the players to be dragons? Not a problem. The game has a "race creation" section to make your own race archetypes that others can use to guide character creation.
The biggest difference between this system and others is that instead of a d20 system like DnD or a d6 system like the OG star wars, Savage worlds uses every die type except d20. Your character could have a d4 in Agility and a d10 in strength for example. Same deal for weapons. Daggers are d4 (+ the str die), guns are usually 2d6 or 2d8. You get the idea.
Anyways, I really love it. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in RPGs especially if the same is starting to explore more systems.
The only issue with savage worlds has to do with youtube. YouTube tutorials are always over 20 minutes long (an hour or more even) and the people making these videos seem to have no idea how to make even a half decent video. So, I set out to make a video that explains how to create a character in 5 minutes or less. Then I set out to explain various important mechanics with a similar time constraint. Success again!
You can find both on youtube but I'll have both the loink and the actual file for easy access. I'll post the second video in another post.
NOTE: In the video I explain that if you do not have the fighting skill your parry score is 4. That is incorrect!!
your parry score is 2 if you lack the fighting skill.Yoink this Loink for youtube vid:
