and any time you roll a "crit", the die explodes and you roll again and add to the total

Regardless of Shadorun's faults, I still like the game regardless.

tends to lean toward very pulpy/actiony sort of games

Interesting.

but I like it because it's very easy to teach somebody

Sure

Actually, I remember making a character for savage worlds.

But didn't really play.

though something that's good or bad depending on how you look at it, it's *very* difficult for your character to actually die

like the default difficulty for any given task in the game is to roll a 4 unless it's contested

so if you have a d6 in a skill, which would be considered wholly average, you've got a 75% chance of success between your skill die and the wild die

huh

Yeah I think I am starting to remember some of this stuff.

I liked the system enough to fund the most recent edition of the game

Oh

twice technically

because I paid $20 during the kickstarter for a digital edition

So it's out?

then I gave my best buddy $50 for him to upgrade to the highest reward tier in exchange for the leatherbound signed hardcopy of the rulebook

That's nice of you

he benefitted too, because with my $50 it basically meant he was only paying an extra $10-20 and doing they meant they threw in a full second set of the various cards and benny tokens and such

if there's one thing my friends and I are good at, it's pooling resources to exploit good deals

Huh

but ye, new version's out, it's called Adventurer's Edition, they've taken to shortening it to SWADE

Ok. I will check it out. Was looking on their website just now. Looking through the dead lands section and saw they had a noir theme.

I am definitely interested in that.

can't remember if deadlands noir was updated for SWADE

but at the same time it doesn't really *need* to be

most of the SWADE changes are quality of life stuff like chargen having an option for the inclusion of "core skills"

Interesting.

that and folding some skills into one another

so for instance, throwing and swimming are gone

both part of athletics now

Ok

I like that

and if you don't want your character to swim, congrats, that's a hinderance you can take now

Nice

@kawaii Do you DM?

I DM a sort of noblebright 40K wrath and glory campaign

noblebright as in it's an inquisition campaign where the acolytes actually *investigate* things and don't just drop pod in and start killing everything

I see
