[Savage Worlds] Streets of Bedlam - The Mean Streets

[Daedalus]

Due to lack of interest this game is cancelled

[Daedalus]

Just a bump up to see if anyone is interested

[Ellspeth]

Friday nights are a no go for me, I have a regular game, same for Saturday and Sunday pretty much. Our Saturday group when the GM is unable to run we fill in with one shots,hence the game I am running in a few weeks. Good luck though.

The game is on alternating Wednesdays (I had to fix the calendar because it was wrong and said Thursdays) to run when the last parsec game I am playing in isn't running.

[damned]

This is a fun setting - plenty of investigation in the dark side of the city and no qualms about getting your hands dirty!

Yep. This is going to be a campaign I made up, it wont be one out of the book so less railroady.

[Dellvin]

what time on Wednesday in PST so 3 hr behind you but love to play like to know time before I sign up

[Daedalus]

It's 8 pm EST (Its on the calendar) so 5 pm your time

[Daedalus]

Ok, I have one player. 4 more spots available

I have a casual game we play on Wednesdays when the GM is able to run. Other than that it is a night I tend to keep free. I hope you get enough players though, good luck.

Thank you. I've got two, and I think the rest will come hopefully soon

[Daedalus]

We have 3 people now. One more to start. I think this coming session will be character creation and discussion

[Daedalus]

The game is at 4 people. 5 people will fill the game.

I am going to make this Wednesdays game about character creation and discussing the game. In two weeks we will actual start the game.

[Daedalus]

Bumping this up. We have one more spot left. We have enough players to start but I want to give people a chance to join if they would like

[Daedalus]

We are playing/getting together tonight. I am going to use Discord unless too many people object. See the calendar entry for all of the information.

[Daedalus]

Game is full. Thank you to all. To all my players, i will see you a little bit before 8pm

[Ellspeth]

Glad to see you filled this, I know a campaign is harder to get a stable group then the sometimes one shots I plan to stay with for now.

[Daedalus]

Understood. It's wild though. There is a ongoing game of SW Rippers Resurrected and it has 14 players.

[Daedalus]

We had a last minute drop out (Who gave no notice on why they dropped out) so we have one more open spot:

I'd be interested in this. Been a D&D player for the longest time and been wanting to try something new, especially with Savage Worlds. Watched a Deadlands Reloaded one shot and loved it(I know this is a modern setting). I don't know the system though but I can pick it up pretty quick. I live in the east coast and 8pm alternate Wednesdays are just fine for me.

No problem. Welcome. Savage Worlds is an easy system to pick up

[Daedalus]

To Malaga and Bmoore: Do you want to use one of the pre-gens and just modify it for your character or create a character from scratch?

[Daedalus]

I would like to hear from my players with any questions you might have

[Daedalus]

A player in the game made a players guide for Streets of Bedlam so those of you who still need to make a character can set a time to connect to my server so you can create your own character.

[Daedalus]

Does anyone need me to set up the server so they can create their character/upload their character?

The setting currently are the characters are working to get back and a crime family, which will most likely eventually morph them into unlikely detectives

[malaga82287]

I’m available Friday-Sunday this weekend after 8pm est to create my character

[Daedalus]

I’m available Friday-Sunday this weekend after 8pm est to create my character

I am not available on Friday but Saturday night at 8pm I could be available so you can create a character and answer any questions.

We use discord for voice. Do you have that installed?

[Daedalus]

Just a heads up: We are supposed to be playing this Wednesday, will everyone have a character and be ready?

[Daedalus]

Just a heads up. We are playing tomorrow. if you are going to be late or you cannot make it please let me know

[Daedalus]

Had an opening come up so if you are interested please go to the calendar and sign up:

https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/?id=2817

[Daedalus]

Just a reminder: Tonight is our first game. We play at 8pm.

If you are going to be late or you cannot make it please let me know

[firerob]

the game mechanics seem to be interesting and id like a chance to try it out. if you have any free spots please let me know.

[Daedalus]

the game mechanics seem to be interesting and id like a chance to try it out. if you have any free spots please let me know.

I do have an opening and the game is bi-weekly. I am really looking for reliable players so if you can make it (I know occasionally things come up) please feel free to sign up

[Daedalus]

Still looking for an additional player. If you are interested please let me know

[Daedalus]

Everyone is going to have to re-vote on whether you can make it to the next game. I changed my DST settings so they are correct now

[Daedalus]

Just a bump up. Looking for another player. Also I need to hear from my current players on whether you can make it. Please let me know.

[Orsalak]

I'm interested, but this would be my first game using Fantasy Grounds so there may be things I haven't tried out. I understand the basics but may require some patience. Also, I have run a friendly SW game before, but I am by no means an expert with the rules and I'm sure I made mistakes.

Is video required or just audio? I do not have a web cam.

[Dirtilus]

I am also interested. I have been playing DnD on FG for a year now and I have the Savage Worlds book but have yet to play.

Only Audio. We play using Discord. I have a discord server set up. I went ahead and accepted you. Do you have a character or do you need help creating a character? I do have a few pre-mades that can be edited and/or adjusted to your needs.

[Daedalus]

I am also interested. I have been playing DnD on FG for a year now and I have the Savage Worlds book but have yet to play.

That's fine if your a newbie. I accepted you. What do you want to do about a character? Create your own? Edit one of the pre-gens I have? I would like to get characters going before the game.

[Dirtilus]

If the pre-gens are in the core book I could edit one of those and let you know. Then plan a time to put him into FG.

[Daedalus]

Works for me. Just let me know

[mac40k]

If the pre-gens are in the core book I could edit one of those and let you know. Then plan a time to put him into FG.

Daedalus made some characters for the demo he ran at FG-Con. There are no pre-gens in the core book. There are archetypes from which you have to choose. These are more character templates with some starting skills, edges, & hindrances, but you still have to do normal SWD chargen. There is one sample character, but it is just a walkthrough of the chargen process, not a filled out character sheet.

[Dirtilus]

Thank You, I grabbed the Deluxe rule-book and couldn't find anything.... And I know nothing about The Streets of Bedlam. Looking through the Savage Worlds Deluxe book now to figure out what to do.

[Orsalak]

I grabbed the core Streets of Bedlam book off of DriveThru so I can read through the setting and archetypes. What is the year for the campaign and is there anything missing from the group right now. Don’t want to create a cookie cutter character that provides little additional value to the team. I was looking at either an ex-cop turned PI or maybe a religious guy (Bulldog, Saint or Samaritan).

[mac40k]

SoB is basically Sin City with the serial numbers filed off. We're playing in the present. I'm playing an ex-cop with an axe to grind with his former partner-archetype is Paladin (not in the corebook, from one of the supplements). We have a former RN who's the mobs goto guy for GSW and other "can't go to the hospital" injuries, and a street thug. The three of us interwove our backstories. Then it looks like we have another player with a bouncer/muscle for hire character. Not sure of his archetype, but he may be a bulldog. I'd say pick whichever archetype you feel most drawn to. SWD characters in general aren't differentiated by their skills where there is a lot of overlap, but by their edges/hindrances.

Send me a PM and I can send you the link to the .pdf I have for the players to use.

[Daedalus]

Sorry, know I have been quiet because the holiday but I am back and I am more accessible again.

It's present day but pretty much an alternate universe. It's Sin city with the serial numbers filed off. The group is hunting down a guy who is the son of a crime family. Where it goes from there, who knows

You beet me to the punch. Exactly what you said

[Dirtilus]

OK, Thinking of an ex-thief who got out because of a threat to his family. Now using his skills to to track down and stop the "real" bad guys.

Sounds good. What of a thief are you thinking of going for?

[Dirtilus]

I'll have to look in the book, but was thinking: break and enter, safe-cracking, lock-picking and only use force if couldn't see another option.

[Daedalus]

The game will start out with the players knowing each other (the reason is up to you guys) going after a member of a crime family.

The characters we have right now are:

Player Character Description

mac40k: Patrick O'Reilly Former cop,now drunken crusader

RCathcart Justin Rook Former registered nurse forced to work for mob as medic

malaga82287 Rudy McNamara Night club bouncer, personal body guard for hire

BDaniel Delmar Thug


Use this to create your character

[Orsalak]

Do you have any free time Sunday for me to join your server and make my character? If you have a Samaritan pre-gen, I can start from that.

[BDaniel]

Hey hey, who are you calling a thug. Delmar is a street entrepreneur.

[Dirtilus]

OK, I will not know until tomorrow if I will be able to make it. I still haven't finished a character. Can I pull straight from the SW deluxe rule book (rogue) or Do I have to pull from the SoB book (hitter)? I was looking to be more stealthy lockpicky than assassination.

[Daedalus]

Sorry about that. Was a bit busy this weekend and didn't get to the message forums. I can have the server up early tomorrow . I can check and then post when I get home from work because I believe I do have a Samaritan pre-gen that you can work from but I am not 100% sure

[Daedalus]

Hey hey, who are you calling a thug. Delmar is a street entrepreneur.

He takes these things so personal

Well there is one other person who isn't 100% tomorrow due to computer issues. I really want everyone for the first game (we can play in the future without everyone if that happens) but the first game kind of sets everything up so if everyone isn't able to show up, I may postpone the game. I can have the server up for awhile for character creation, discussions, etc

[Daedalus]

Just to let everyone know- I plan to have the server up at the normal time. If everyone shows up, we will go. If not, we can work on characters and discuss things

[Daedalus]

We had one person dropped out so we have one opening. If you are interested please feel free to sign up

[mac40k]

Once again we experienced failure to launch. Help us prove to Daedalus that his game is not cursed!

[damned]

Hey Daedalus I know this isnt what you want but running a new campaign for a totally new group is all but guaranteed to have at least one no show.
If you get your three players show then build the story around them and newcomers will have to be worked in later...

[Daedalus]

Once again we experienced failure to launch. Help us prove to Daedalus that his game is not cursed!

Well we have at least 4 solid players, two just couldn't make it because of life issues

[Daedalus]

New time has been posted on the calendar so please vote and let me know if you can make it

I have four players and only two could make it. I really want all 4 players for the first game, and then going forward I can continue if not everyone can make it

[Daedalus]

This game is going to happen. We will be playing a week from tomorrow so please vote on the new time so I know if everyone can make it

[Daedalus]

We are playing this upcoming Wednesday so be ready to go

[Dirtilus]

I need to get on-line and make my toon with you sometime soon.

[Daedalus]

I need to get on-line and make my toon with you sometime soon.

OK we can do that. What would you prefer? Doing it on a non-game day or doing it before the game?

[Dirtilus]

Would a half hour before game time work?

[Daedalus]

Would a half hour before game time work?

Yeah, no problem. I will make sure the server is up and make sure I am on the Discord server so we can get to work

[Daedalus]

Just a reminder. We are playing tonight

[Daedalus]

We picked up a 5th player. I am going to try to contact them and see if they can make it tonight. If they can than we have a full game

[BDaniel]

Hey Daedalus are we playing tonight? I am asking for a friend.:)

[Daedalus]

Hey Daedalus are we playing tonight? I am asking for a friend.:)

You don't have any friends. And yes we are. :)

For anyone who needs it: The Discord server we are using: https://discord.gg/VmtV6Cm

[Daedalus]

I have posted the time for next week. Please vote and let me know if you can make it

[Daedalus]

Guys, any questions or comments about the first session?

[Daedalus]

Two of our players are maybe's for this Wednesday. If they can't make it then we will start up again in the new year. Of course, if I new player wants to log on to create a character on Wednesday I can set the server up for that.

[Daedalus]

I will need to hear from the two players who are maybes to determine whether we are playing tomorrow or not

[Orsalak]

My son is in the middle of finals so I will be helping him tomorrow night. I may be able to join a little late if you decide to play.

[Dirtilus]

Sorry, but as of now I am gonna have to say no.

[Daedalus]

Sorry, but as of now I am gonna have to say no.

Ok, Understood

[Daedalus]

My son is in the middle of finals so I will be helping him tomorrow night. I may be able to join a little late if you decide to play.

I am going to check with the other guys to see if they want to go ahead and just play (Someone can play Dirtiulus's character if need be) or just skip and play in the new year

[Daedalus]

We are going to be a go for tonight. See you guys at 8.

[Daedalus]

The new date has been posted. We didn't play last night because only two people showed up. We could have gone with 3 but not two. Please vote for the next date which is the 10th of January

[Jonarific]

Greetings, I was just googling "savage worlds looking for game" and came across this post, just made an account to say I'd love to join this game.

Sounds like you were having some trouble getting the game started/looking for players, but I'm pretty reliable + flexible with my times.
I've got a lot of experience with savage worlds, it's my favorite tabletop setting and I might even know a few things the gm doesn't. (not a rules lawyer tho)

I confess I have only dabbled with roll20, I'm willing to learn though. I'm also on discord/skype whatever is used for the voice stuffs while playing. PM me to let me know what's going on and I'll be checking back on this thread when I can.

The game has started. We are having trouble getting our fifth player getting going. I am going to check with him to see if he can make it, if not you are welcome to take the last spot if he cannot make it

[Daedalus]

If you haven't gone to the calendar and voted on the new date please do so

[Dirtilus]

Don,t think I will make it this Wednesday. I have family in town leaving the next morning. Sorry, but Wednesdays are harder than I thought, especially around the holidays.

I'm not going to be able to make it either. We aren't playing again until the 10th of January :)

No! You need to know right away or else.... Just kidding :) :) :)

[Daedalus]

We are playing tonight at 8pm EST. Welcome to Lekkric who will be joining us. We have a couple characters from people who have had to drop out that you can use, or you can create your own character.

Savage Worlds is really easy to learn and I find I have no problem teaching newbies the system in no time. More Savage Worlds players hopefully will turn into more Savage Worlds GMS and that's a good thing

[Daedalus]

BTW Lekkric: You have been accepted on the calander so any messages posted there you will be able to see, though I plan to use this thread more then those notes.

[Daedalus]

Lekkric: We use Discord for our voice chat. Do you have that installed?

Hi guys! I just signed up on the calendar. I have a little experience playing SW and using Fantasy Grounds.Do you have any info on the campaign setting?

[mac40k]

Short answer: It's Sin City with the serial numbers filed off.

[Daedalus]

Hi guys! I just signed up on the calendar. I have a little experience playing SW and using Fantasy Grounds.Do you have any info on the campaign setting?

I just looked on the calendar and I don't see your application

[Trueshaft]

I just looked on the calendar and I don't see your application

Yeah I deleted it.I couldn't find any info on campaign creation guidelines. I'm not a fan of throwing a character together at the last minute.Sounds like a fun setting though.

What information do you need? We have a couple characters from people who had to drop out, or I can have the server up one night before the game to character your own character. I have the actual game book in .pdf available for the players.

Just let me know what you need

[Daedalus]

Just a heads up: We are playing this week.

Also, we still have one spot left open, so if you are interested please feel free to sign up: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/?id=2817

Savage Worlds is a very easy system to learn if you do not know it. We can create new characters or we have a few pre-made (from people who played when I first ran the game but had to drop out) that you can use

[Daedalus]
