LFP - Savage Mojo's Noir Knights Weds 7:30 EST

What Is Noir Knights?
Noir Knights is your own epic. This Suzerain Continuum setting offers a pulpy romp through the terrible destitution and thundering opportunities of 1930s America. Secret organizations, hidden magic, strange technology, and hard-as-nails G-men collide and mix across the canvas of a shattered nation.
The premise of Noir Knights, SPA agents on a secret task force allows more flexibility for players. I had played in a Ripper's game that was open to drop ins, simply because any mission could easily have different agents assigned, and I liked the flexibility for including new players. So I will generally make room for at least one drop in over the 6 players, or as many as it takes to fill the session. So feel free to sign up even if you only want to check it out for a week or two.
This is a Savage Worlds rules setting. Players will start at heroic level, the first two sessions tentatively will be for character creation. Or you can use one of the 6 pre-gens offered from Savage Mojo.
Initially we use my private Teamspeak for voice, after you sign up I will message you with the log in information.
I currently have 4 probablies, and as a newer GM I welcome new players.

I completely forgot to include the link to the free pre-gens. While everyone has the option to create their own character in the next few weeks, you can choose to play a pre-gen instead. If you aren't familiar with the setting the pre-gens give you a fair idea of what is possible here. Also all players will be starting at Heroic, so Character creation can take some time.

Those of you who signed up and don't have it all ready I will message you with my teamspeak login info on Wednesday, and my table alias as well.
This is designed to be a drop in friendly game, so anyone notifying me even within an hour before I game they would like to sit in on I check messages every week just before a game and I'll get the info to you.
Also failed to note, I do have an Ultimate license so anyone can play.

I'm interested, Mr. Dolby: The G-Man. I'm new to Savage Worlds, but I have the rules. Interested in seeing how this plays. I've got a license.

**Ellspeth** · February 12th, 2018, 21:06

Welcome aboard. This Wednesday will be character creation for those who want to build their own and a chance to explain the setting, meet and greet, etc. I'll message everyone Wednesday morning with server login in info and table alias.

Good luck with this Elspeth!!! You know I'd be there if I could!!! I hope there will be recaps posted somewhere. I want to see if anyone else plants a hurricane on top of their group while inside intentionally.

You will be missed Sammage, though that seems to be the first thing any ruizologist figures out how to work. Happened at FG-Daze as well, much to Miss Bonner's continuing dismay.
The plan on this is to keep one rotating seat or more open, so last minute players who may only want to try a session or two can appear as a "guest agent" or some such.
For recaps, I am still catching up the one shots form the last few months, but we have a dedicated thread on the Savage Mojo forums where I will try to keep up with them.

So if you find yourself unexpectedly free on a Wednesday evening just message me.

Well we got through character creation for the weekly Noir Knights game. Screenshot gives you a fair idea of who this party will include, though one player had to leave early so not showing here. Two of the five have played in the other Suzerain one shots I have run, two never played Savage Worlds let alone Suzerain, and one is one of my favorite GM's who has run a lot of SW and is pretty accurate on rules, and very helpful in character creation. It helps that he went and bought the Suzerain PDF and I think Noir Knights, so by the time we sat down last night he was more than able to help the new people with choices, advice, and always era accurate weaponry. Since they had 12 advances to apply, plus create their own telesma ally it took the entire session, but that was all, it took ONE session, which I think was pretty good. So what do we have? A rather strange doctor whose telesma resides in his monocle, an assassin whose telesma resides in his scope, a slightly delusional East coast socialite, a Russian immigrant who escaped the Revolution and has made her way in her new country as a mystic/fortune teller who is the only one who took any of the Noir Knights specialist pulse paths, taximancer. Player thought it fit a gloomy Russian mystic very well. Last not shown here is a G-man. Also drop ins will be welcome week to week as agents on temp assignment to the team and so on.
Also the taximancer has a companion, essentially the driver for the team, and I allowed the assassin to have a pet wolf, his story, he was tracking a quarry through a forest, took the shot, but later found his bullet had struck a female wolf, and he found the cub trying to nurse from it's dead mother. He has a minor vow for a hindrance, to never harm an innocent bystander. To him the wolf was an innocent and it was his mistake, so he took the cub home and raised it to make amends in his own mind. So for next week I need to come up with a plan to have this party assigned to the same mission as a team for the first time.

Really nice Ellspeth.

Okay guys I posted Wednesday nights game this week on the calendar if you would be so kind as to note if you will be there or not. For everyone else we still have a seat open for drop ins or those who just want to take a look at something different without a commitment. I have pre-gens you can play as a "guest agent for a session or two.

**Ellspeth** · February 22nd, 2018, 14:16

We had our first regular game session last night, session write up will be found on the Fantasy Grounds games thread on the Savage Mojo forums. https://savagemojo.com/forums/singleForum.cfm?fID=9
I posted dates for the next 3 sessions guys, sign up for the ones you will make. We still have guest seats available for any who want to check it out without a commitment.
I have several new Savage Worlds players and more who never played Suzerain of Noir Knights, but despite that the sessions are going smoothly, proving again Savage Worlds is one of the easiest rulesets for players to pick up and be involved effectively and you guys are doing awesome. And the poor assassin, blown right off the top of the train, ouch that hurt.
