Have any of you played Savage Worlds? I feel like it has some similarities to WEG Star Wars.

If you have played both systems does WEG still feel like best Star Wars version?

I played a Savage Worlds Star Wars game ten or more years ago.

Savage Worlds is not my thing. I really dislike the system, and I feel like I'm the only one in the world who doesn't like it.

Not having played the system before, what made you not like it?

Announcing Star Wars: Spirit of Rebellion











We’re excited to officially announce that Table Cat Games is working on a
Star Wars
role playing game expansion to the excellent
Savage Worlds Star Wars Companion
called
The Spirit of Rebellion
. It will be 100% completely free and available for any
Star Wars
fan that wants it (using the
Savage Worlds
Fan license).

What’s that mean? The
Star Wars Companion
contains a lot of necessary info you need to play in the
Star Wars
universe using the
Savage Worlds
rule system, but there’s some stuff that I wanted to see that wasn’t in there along with some tweaks needed to play in my favorite era (the original trilogy). So what I’m doing is that you’d get
Savage Worlds
,
The Star Wars Companion
, and then use
Spirit of Rebellion
to theme your campaign.











And while I was at it, I figured I’d expand it a bit further to include The Dark Times which was features in
Solo
, the
Rebels
cartoon series,
Rogue One
,
Andor
, and the
Obi Wan
series. Then while doing that, I figured I could also throw in the New Republic timeline which is being revealed in the series
The Mandalorian
and
The Book of Boba Fett
,

Star Wars & Savage Worlds

It's funny you bring this up, @


Scrivener of Doom


.

I've been meaning to run a Savage Star Wars campaign for oh, maybe 4 years now and have never gotten around to it, so I don't have any direct experience with it.......

But everything else I've done with the system so far (classic fantasy, modern zombie apocalypse, near-future cyberpunk) leads me to believe that Savage Worlds would make a fantastic foundation for a Star Wars campaign.

In fact, if you're wanting more of an "Edge of the Empire" / Smuggler style game, Savage Worlds will be freaking brilliant right out of the gate.

There's really only two things I could foresee being a bit of work up front:




If you want to do lots of spaceship combat. You'll need to sit down and come up with specific vehicle stats for most of the common "stuff"---an X-wing, a landspeeder, a speederbike, a TIE fighter, a Corellian freighter, etc. I also don't have any idea the best way to do "dogfights" with Savage Worlds Deluxe. Would it work as a simple "chase" scene? For resources, check out the fan-made Star Wars Conversion, and the PEG supplement Vehicle Conversio

Savaged Star Wars Stats & Adventure Conversions

Hi all.

I was wondering whether any of you Savages out there know of some sites/downloads of where I can get some Star Wars ship, NPC and creature stats, or even better, module/adventure conversions.

I have seen the many 'Star Wars Conversions', but all of them focus on PC creation and The Force. (I have mine of choice, but have done most species conversions myself).

What I need are ship stats (one conversion has some old ones), NPC stats (especially Storm Troopers, battle droids, typical enemies), or even full adventure conversions. (Creatures aren't so bad - plenty of fantasy egs to base them on, but starfighters are the real difficulty - no real comparison for vehicles of these speeds or with these type of weapons in the several Setting or Core Savage books I own).

I have copies of many of the Wizards PDF Star Wars adventures, a few WEG d6 adventures (one of which I love and have ran too many times ), and a few homebrews from the web from when Saga came out. In fact I intend to start with a homebrew I believe I found on these boards: "A Much Larger Galaxy", by David Bezio (grubman).

I love Saga, but want to us
