[Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
FYI I am tooling up a one-shot of SW Ravenloft, utilizing the classic Night of the Walking Dead that should especially profit off SW with its hordes of zombies and the allied extras like the constable and the priest that usually fall by the wayside in the more management-intensive D&D.
On thing that I have noticed after re-reading is that you use the sinkholes of evil 1:1 as they appear in Deadlands, but without DL:R's Grit by rank off-setting it. Is that an oversight or on purpose? To me ist seems very brutal even for a horror game.

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
Somehow in the rounds of editing, the bonus to Fear checks based on Rank got left out of the finished game, which is a little embarrassing. Consider that an official errata.Skyrock wrote: On thing that I have noticed after re-reading is that you use the sinkholes of evil 1:1 as they appear in Deadlands, but without DL:R's Grit by rank off-setting it.

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
In case you missed the news: Jeremy's The Black Vault, The Power of the Tarot, and The Amber Wastes Cluster are now up in the Library!
...many apologies for the delay. (I've been sitting on these for about 9 months and hadn't had time to put them up. But serendipitously, I got them up exactly 1 year after the initial document.)

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
Sorry for the thread necro, but it's been nearly a year since the three expansion books went up on the site and I'm really interested in knowing if there's been any progress made on the other books? I've been a fan of Ravenloft for a very long time. I always thought it was a bad match for D&D, but it's perfect for Savage Worlds. I think this conversion of Ravenloft is mind-blowing fantastic. I was really hoping to see the Souragne write up (I may be running a Savaged version of the Night of the Living Dead adventure soon), and I'm really curious as to what the ultimate fates of domains like Tepest, Forlorn, and Markovia ended up being.

Haven't heard anything from Jeremy in a while on these. Try sending him a PM, maybe?

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
I was especially keen to see how the Frozen Reaches turned out.
Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
Apologies for the grave dig, though wondering if any sign or trace has been seen in recent times of the author of the Savage (Worlds) tome?
I ask for two reasons;
1. There is a new edition of Savage Worlds.
2. I'm a licencee for the Savage Worlds and have published my own setting (Frozen Skies for those interested) and have a beta copy of the new rules and I'd be very much interested in helping to update the SW version of Ravenloft to the new rules.

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
Hey, everyone! Sorry about the long silence, but I kind of got wrapped up in my new job last summer and time got away from me. I'm at a different job now, so I have more free time to work on stuff!
I'm a Savage Worlds licensee myself, so I've gotten Adventure Edition early and been working on the new edition of Ravenloft Reincarnated. Literally the day SWADE drops for the public, RR:SWADE will be ready for release. I've also updated the Amber Wastes supplement, and am currently working on revising the unreleased Frozen Reaches supplement. Hopefully it will be to everyone's liking!

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
Well, since SWADE is out (in pdf) to the public now, I've gone ahead and asked the Fraternity to pull the trigger on making the revised edition of Ravenloft Reincarnated available to the public. Hopefully, you'll be seeing it soon!Fenris wrote:Can't wait to see this

Re: [Savage Worlds] Ravenloft
I still need to read cover-to-cover through SWADE and have mixed feelings about the changes so far, but in any case it is good that the conversion stays ahead of the curve for those using the newest edition.
