I'm not sure if anybody else has tackled a raging fire in SWADE. My Setting has a pyromaniac cult leader, who is burning places... And, my PCs have had to fight a few fires. So, I have written up a SWADE version of handling a fire that is growing and needs to be controlled. My rules write-up also includes a d20 table that gives you random effects. I put the rules and ideas in a PDF and also created a video clip of our game, which shows the usage of fire.

Please let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas or thoughts to add/change.

It looks pretty functional on first read. Obviously I'd have to use it in play to see how it flows and such, but it seems like a solid aid.

Just for SW flare you might consider adding a couple of options to your D20 table and switching to red/black card draw. It's not required but adds a bit of Savage Worlds flavor.

Thanks! If you do run it, please let me know what you think.

Nice conversion.

Rather than have a table to roll on for each fire, I'd convert the table from a d20 roll to card, and then the initiative card the fire gets controls it's action for the round, the current table has "good" and bad versions of certain events (e.g. 13-14) these can be the same card but the "bad" version is a black card.

Thanks for the tips and ideas. I have revamped the rules and also added Action Card Effects Table instead of d20. Let me know what you think:
