Han Cluster Jumpstart
Here's Tracy Sizemore's new Savage Worlds setting: Han Cluster! In the future, mankind has build a new colony in the stars after the Earth was plagued by environmental and economic crises. But Earth has not been completely abandoned and forgotten – in fact, it's on its way to recovery and a cold war is brewing between Earth and the colonies in the Han Cluster. Meanwhile, humans and Ghosted Machines (sapient AIs) discover a phenomenon called "the Nex" which doesn't just change how people define humanity, but also how you play at the table! We take a first look into the setting via the Jumpstart and discuss the shape of a whisky bottle (possibly also its contents).
Addendum: We call the Jumpstart Adventure the first Plot Point of the PPC. This is wrong, it is an introduction adventure and more of a special episode! Cheers for the update on this, Tracy!

Street Wolves
Let's get back to the future that never was with Street Wolves! A group of vigilantes are fighting evil forces in an alternate version of the 1980s, full of synthwave music, VR hacking, cool sports cars and a mysterious vapor, bathing the cities in glowing neon light at night. We open ourselves a bottle of blended scotch and check out what's in the book.
