Planning to run my first SW game

[Moon Wizard]

I'm thinking about running a one-off Savage Worlds adventure for my gaming group to try something new, and I'm looking for suggestions on an adventure to run.

Some things to consider:
* Only 2 out of 6 have played any games other than D&D.
* For the remaining 2, we have only played Savage Worlds a couple times at conventions, but we liked the feel of the system.
* An adventure that is already available in Fantasy Grounds through the store is a bonus.

I appreciate any pointers you could give me for a good introduction adventure for Savage Worlds.

Thanks,

I really enjoy the Daring tales of adventure series - we ran though 4 of them (face to face) to get into Savage Worlds. It uses a good overall slice of the SWEX rules without getting into the gritty corners, and feature a good array of "fun scenes" to play though.

Downside is they are a little railroad-y and prescribed. Which is fine if your players understand the Pulp style, which often is more about style within certain set movie scenes, rather than a player-driven narrative with multiple directions and outcomes. Also it's pre-gens, which may or may not work well.

I think you'd want to get some good maps setup in advance for each one too - from memory, each adventure has 1-2 great scenes that would benefit from great maps / scenary.

I second the Daring Tales suggestion. They really bring the best out of Savage Worlds. Besides having to make maps, the module comes with 4 pre-gens only. So you would need to make more. Luckily, there are figure flats available through the store.

As an alternative, I would suggest Deadlands: reloaded. Any adventure in the adventure pack is great. They are pre-gens available on pinnacle's site and Kevin Doswell could probably let you use any of his great 14 pre-gens. These adventure are designed to be played in one session which makes them perfect for one-shots.

There's also the Kith'takharos adventures, which are completely entered into FG. It also would support the 'little guys'.

(warning, I helped play test two of the modules and may be biased :b)

I played a game of Savage Worlds in FG on Saturday. Kevin Doswell ran the game and I think the title of the adventure was Night Train.

The setting was Deadlands Reloaded, but I thought it was an excellent (although pretty tough) adventure and an excellent setting.

I'm not an expert with Savage Worlds, but I thought the rules played really well in this setting.

So I would recommend that one (as long as the players don't mind a bit of a mission impossible!)

Or possibly an easier adventure, but certainly try Deadlands for SW (although in fairness you have to pay extra for the Deadlands rulesets which might put you off).

I dont think Moon Wizard has to worry about buying rulesets for FG2
