LFP: Savage Worlds Long-Term Campaign in Hellfrost

[Nyghtmare]

If anyone is interesting in joining a Savage Worlds campaign I am about to start up in the Hellfrost setting, send me a message

It will be in Fantasy Grounds and will be text-based (I don't do the RPing on voice)... we can teach Fantasy Grounds and Savage Worlds if needed — so people new to Fantasy Grounds and/or Savage Worlds are welcome. We are looking more for a fit personality wise than being an expert.

It will be for a couple of hours on weeknights (the nights to be determined), from 7:00 to 9:00 Central time. It will be starting up in the relatively near future, but the characters can be created any time that we can get together.

There will be a lot of roleplaying in addition to the normal combat. I will be using the published adventures for that setting, so if you have played them already this is not for you.

Any questions, ask away.

Are you leaning towards any specific night? I work nights through the weekend and am currently only available on Wednesdays, at least atm. I've been looking for getting into a game to learn SW and prefer something text based and a 2 hour or so slot fits perfect.

[Nyghtmare]

At least two of the players from my Tomb of Annihilation game are going to be playing Savage Worlds with me. It is looking like Tuesdays and Wednesdays will be the days that are not a good fit for their combined schedules.

Thank you for your interest, though. :)

Here is a more formal version of the LFP:



FG License: Ultimate (so anyone can join my game)
Game System: Savage Worlds


Time Zone: Central (USA)
Day of week and time: Looking like it will be Mondays and Thursdays, 7:00pm to 9:00pm Central Time
If new game, planned start date: Hoping to get things going within a week or two
Planned Duration & Frequency: Twice a week, 2-hour sessions, for the foreseeable future
Term: long term


Text or Voice: the game will be text-only within Fantasy Grounds, but we will also be able to chat via TeamSpeak
Voice software used: TeamSpeak


Roleplay & Combat mix: will using the published adventures, which seem to be a nice blend of both (not sure of percentage splits, tho)
Number of Players in game & needed: I have 2 or 3 players already (from my 5e D&D campaign)... looking for 2 to 3 more
Character starting level & equipment: fresh characters (Novice, 0 XPs) with the standard 500 starting money to buy your gear with
Character restrictions: per the Hellfrost setting


Details of your scenario: I will be running through the published Hellfrost adventures (so if you have played them already, this is not the campaign for you). This will be my first Savage Worlds campaign, but I have been running D&D games since the 1st edition (4e and 5e on Fantasy Grounds). I am looking for players that do enjoy roleplaying, as that is always a focus of my campaigns (we find RPing in text easier than in voice).

Experience in Fantasy Grounds and/or Savage Worlds is not necessary — this can be taught.


Any questions, please feel free to ask away, either in this thread or else in a private message to me.

I can also provide my Steam and Discord for any potential players.

Message me some contact information (like Steam or Discord or email) and I will reach out to you to follow up on this. :)

I have applied on the game calendar page. I have never played Savage Worlds, but Hellfrost has intrigued me. I have some stuff from it, but haven't sat down to read it yet. This will provide that needed kick. Played a good bit of 4E & 5E in FG and have the standard full license. The time of day and 2 days a week that are picked work great for me. I'd love to give this a shot if you'd have me.

Sounds good.

Send me some contact information (Steam or Discord) and we'll get together to check it out, to see if it is a fit for both of us.

I have one confirmed player (PhorgottenSon).

I am still looking for 1 or 2 more.

[Nyghtmare]

And still looking for another player or two... :D

Hi, I’d be interested to join, if you’re still looking for another. I’ve gots a lot of experience with D&D, having begun playing with 2nd edition, a little experience with Savage Worlds through a recently joined Deadlands Reloaded campaign, and no experience at all with Hellfrost. The great appeal for me here is your reference to text-based, roll-playing. That’s exactly how I run my own campaigns, and very much my preferred style of play. I’ll follow through by adding my name to the campaign calendar.

[Tozzax]

Hello! I am interested!

[Tigerlemur]

I am also interested. I've hit the apply on the calendar.

I have been GMing Savage Worlds for... golly, probably 4-5 years now. I am looking forward to being a player again. I have never played in the Hellfrost setting, but I love fantasy settings.

I would be happy to assist with learning, but I'm more than happy to be a simple player for once.

I have been using Fantasy Grounds for the game I run so I understand the program decently well too.

My players prefer TeamSpeak for voice chat (we do all of the Roleplaying and such in text within Fantasy Grounds, but still chat) and Steam for text chats (since they are all gamers).

FG License: Full

Time Zone: EST

Day(s) of week, frequency, and time: Any other than Sunday.

Term: Short or Long. I prefer to find a long-term, dedicated group.

Voice: I have used several voicechat programs for years.

Game System Preferred: Any really, as long as the stories are interesting and the group is fun.

Game System Experience: Many years of D&D 3.5 through 5e, Pathfinder, and various Star Wars pen and paper from the d6 all the way to Fantasy Flight Games' pretty dice. I also played a MUD for years called Achaea, a game where, in game terms, speaking out of character was considered insanity. If you openly and repeatedly spewed insanity and ignored warnings from other players long enough, eventually a God (a GM) would turn the offending insane person into a shrubbery. Good times.

Fantasy Grounds Experience: About a year.

Character Type Preferred: I enjoy playing a wide variety of characters and always have backups prepared just in case. I keep a folder full of character ideas and concepts I use as inspiration for NPCs that my players will run across or if I need to pull something out of nowhere on the spot.

About me: 30, male, married, two kids. I feel like a lot of what I would put here is in the "Character Type Preferred" section. I am just a laid back nerd from the Midwest who enjoys hanging out with other like minded people in fantasyland. I am just as at home in the thick of an intense tactical combat as I am roleplaying an evening at a high society gala.

[goodmanje]

Is this game full?

[Hendell]

Excellent choice in setting. You guys will enjoy hellfrost.

[goodmanje]

Hendell ran an awesome Hellfrost campaign. It was a blast.
