Solomon Kane

[LooksLikeAJobFor]

Hello All,

I'm new to Fantasy Grounds and the Savage Worlds ruleset. Is there anything for Fantasy Grounds that utilizes the Solomon Kane setting? Or perhaps someone can link a video to show how to edit/add custom skills/hindrances/edges so I can align Savage Worlds Deluxe to the Solomon Kane setting? Believe me I have searched up and down the internet to no avail.

Thank you!

No, there is nothing on FG. Did you get the Solomon Kane PDFs from Pinnacle's site before they came down?

I heard they would no longer be selling SK after this year ends. I assumed they lost some rights?

I hadn't noticed they took down the PDFs from sale since they still were selling the physical stuff.

EDIT: Checked, they still (Dec 2019) still sell SK PDFs.

PEG lost the rights to Solomon Kane, and another setting (I can't remember which). I believe they are able to sell those products until 31 December.

I wonder what the other one is?

I was tempted to get the SK set since figured probably applicable to any such Howardian campaign. But it was still too much for my non-specific need. Hate that it will poof however.


I knew about 31st, was just noting can still buy... right now. ;)

I see that PEG's Solomon Kane PDFs are still being sold at DriveThruRPG, but not on Pinnacle's own site.

However, Pinnacle does offer this free conversion guide for using SK with Savage Worlds Adventure Edition:

Raising the dead on this thread... Anyone working on the Monolith ruleset (which is near exactly the same as Pinnacle's old ruleset I might point out)?

Monolith would need to sort out their license agreement with the SK License holders and approach Smiteworks themselves, I could be wrong but I think PEG did not have software license rights hence the FG ruleset was never made.

Nothing stopping you making your own, it's on my list to do (for myself) but way down at the moment.

That said if Monolith approach Smiteworks then I'll do an official release.

I am not going to say it will never happen but don't hold your breath. Monolith did get rights to do a new version. However they are not allowed to do anything on VTT. Unless they pay through the nose for a better agreement. We have been here before.

Ironically Monolith hired Shane to write the book. So he copied much of his previous work into the new version. Which why is its near exactly the same as Pinnacle's old version. Shane could not get anything more that just the book deal back then as well.

Of course there might be different agreements since they're different brands but Monolith is releasing the Foundry version of their new Conan rules (as in content, not just a skeleton ruleset). Might be a chance someone might be able to do Solomon Kane for FG...

I owned SK, but it and WEG Star Wars 2e vanished into the ether when my son's backpack was stolen. I recently read that a company named Monolith Board Games had republished The Savage World of Solomon Kane, but was skeptical it was legit. But from what I'm reading here, sounds like it is.

Solomon Kane should be doable with SWADE with only minor tweaking. The free Solomon Kane SWADE Conversion (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/309405/solomon-kane-swade-conversion) guide at Drivethru, does a good job of explaining what's required. The only things that need to be considered for characters, are some Hindrances, Edges, Items and Skills that have changed - clearly detailed in the guide. The SK bestiary requires a bit more effort, but almost all of the changes are Size and Toughness, which were the big changes to beasts/monsters between SWD and SWADE.

Of course its doable, but you have to do it yourself, there will not be a licensed version I suspect, for the same reason the last version of SK never got a VTT version.
