Setting Change

Post by Venatus Vinco »

FALLEN
Fallen is a modern urban fantasy setting where fallen angels prey upon an unsuspecting humanity. Characters are people from all stations in life and all manner of beliefs who have had their eyes opened to the spiritual realities around us and have taken up the cause against the Fallen. Heroes can be any type of profession who finds themselves suddenly clued in: Drifters, moving from place to place helping those in need, paranormal detectives who assist the police in cases too fantastic to believe, special agents of the government or religion tasked with hunting down and stopping supernatural threats, conspiracy theorists, bloggers, or anyone else unable to unsee what they have seen.

PLAY TEST
This is a play test of a mini setting. It will last a few quarters including a live session once each quarter with intervening play-by-post contributions. The play test document for setting rules, character creation, etc. is available via PM from Venatus Vinco. The end result will be a mini-setting document with accompanying adventure to be publish as a SWAG product. Players will contribute to stress testing the various edges and hindrances and interacting with the world to reveal where more work is needed.

RESOURCES REQUIRED
  • Savage Worlds Adventure Edition
  • Access to Play Test Google Doc (PM to Request)
  • Access to Roll20 (once per quarter)
CHARACTER CREATION
  • SWADE Standard per Play test document
  • Rank: Seasoned
  • Races: Humans only...although if after reading the document you have an idea talk to the GM
  • Arcane Backgrounds Available: See Play Test Document
ROLL 20
This group includes one Roll20 session per quarter. Session dates will be worked out each quarter but will generally be on a Friday from 8:00PM - 12:00 AM EST.

This sounds so awesome. I imagine you really need a great big brute in this game right?


I will even make time on Friday nights for roll20, because my wife is going back to school this fall.
  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!
