Savage Worlds One Shots . . or more
I'm finding that I have some extra free time, so I'm interested in starting up an 'every other week' Savage Worlds game. Initially I was thinking just running a bunch of unconnected one shots on Friday evening but I'm also open to running a campaign (or several mini-campaigns) depending on player interest. I started with AD&D back in the day (about 1978), which makes me old, and my games tend to be "gritty" where players can die (but isn't that how legends are made :D ).
NOTE: I have only run a few sessions of Savage Worlds (a short Musketeers game using the All For One: Régime Diabolique setting) so my knowledge of the system is still that of a beginner. Also, I have no setting content in module format other than a hastily cobbled together "All For One" module. If other setting content is needed, I'll have to build/purchase that content and get familiar with it while we play so in those cases, expect some GM confusion till I get a handle on it.
Settings I have some interest in and have some ideas for: Fantasy/Dark Ages in a Homebrew world (possibly using Pathfinder for Savage Worlds), Weird Wars I (but set during the Russian Civil War) and maybe another Musketeers game. I know there are many more out there so feel free to voice your interest.
FG License: GM has FGU Ultimate License so players only need the Demo . . .
Game System: Savage Worlds (SWADE)
Time Zone: Currently Central Standard Time (CST), UTC -6
Day of week and time: Every other Friday starting at least after 8 PM and going for 3 hours or so).
Text or Voice: Voice
Voice software used: Discord.
Roleplay & Combat mix: Aiming for 60/40 but might fluctuate some by individual sessions.
Number of Players in game: If I go with one-shots this number can fluctuate based on who wants to play each session and which setting will be used for that session.
Character starting level & equipment: 0 - Novice (probably pre-gens if I go with one-shots and for newer players wanting to get a feel for the system first).
Character restrictions: Depends on the setting used, with many being restricted to Human (i.e. real world settings based Weird Wars or Musketeer's games, etc).
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: All my games are New Player friendly. I'm looking to keep this a mature, fun, open to anyone who wants to participate type of game. I expect players to work together and treat each other respectfully (escaping from real world). There is probably something I am missing so if you have questions, please speak up, preferably sooner rather than later.
