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!

The After

After the invasion of the earth and the terrible wars that followed, the planet has been rather changed – as has mankind, being nearly annihilated by the alien attackers. But the time of doom is over: Now it's time to reclaim the earth, rebuild society and explore strange phenomena the unfriendly visitors left us with. With a tasty Whisky in our glass, we'll take you on a tour. Timecodes: 00:00:33 General Information 00:02:28 Layout, Style and Artwork 00:06:30 Setting Background 00:36:05 Character Creation 00:45:46 Setting Rules 00:52:52 Hindrances 00:53:54 Edges 00:59:20 Arcane Backgrounds 01:02:22 Gear 01:14:45 NPCs 01:21:40 Conclusion 01:28:00 Whisky Review The After by Fainting Goat Games is available at DriveThruRPG as PDF, Softcover or Hardcover. In our recording, I mistakenly used the term "Handicaps" for Hindrances, which is what they're called in the German translation of SWADE. I mix those up all the time because it's English as well... Sorry for that! Vasant
