The Morrow Project-Savaged

How to prepare

You will need a Headset A roll 20 account www.roll20.net A Discord account www.discord.com No prior knowledge of Savage Worlds or the Morrow Project is necessary besides the understanding that the world is close to modern, there's no magic (psionics exist but are very rare and not an option you pick), you will be playing mostly good heroes who are trying to rebuild a shattered world.

What I provide

The game will be run on Roll20 for VTT and Discord for voice chat. You will need accounts for both platforms. In addition, you will need a working microphone. I try to make the game world feel as close to real as I can. My NPCs aren't stat blocks but living beings that really don't want to die today. That being said, no one in my games have plot armor and I don't run self-insert GMNPCs. The Morrow Project-Savaged is all about being part of team thrust into extraordinary and difficult circumstances. So if you're interested, you should aim to make a character that supports the team and the narrative. On the narrative, I don't have a pre planned story. The world is your sandbox. Enemies and other factions have their own agendas, it is up to you to decide to get involved or not. I believe in Player Agency above all, but actions have consequences and rewards. The game system, Savage Worlds, has a reroll currency called Bennies. You start with 3 and can spend them to add to a roll, reroll a fail, soak damage, or take narrative control of a scene. You can also earn them through solving puzzles, good Roleplay, and being a team player. On the discord, I have a memes channel, in character roleplay and the day before the fall. Posting in these channels earns you an extra Bennie. As far as combat goes, SW is a tactical game but it is very fast paced. Each PC has one action per turn (up to 3 with penalties). It is meant for cinematic action. And that's how I run my games. Like a TV show, you'll have episodes, seasons and arcs. If you feel like this is something you'd like to play, reach out. Have a good gaming day.

Gameplay details

I do a personal Session Zero with each player as well as a group chat before play begins. I have campaign rules for expected behavior and we discuss hard lines and veils. My campaign rules are available on my GM profile. X cards can be used on the VTT or you can call a "Timeout" for whatever reason. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive place to have fun.

How will character creation work

Players will create characters with me in a free session. I have a Google Doc with the conversion from the original rules. Essentially, you are making a modern day human who's an expert in a field and has agreed to saddle up and save the world with a team of like-minded people. Savage Worlds ranks PCs in Novice, Seasoned, Veteran, Heroic and Legendary Ranks. These allow access to Edges and other abilities. You will be making a Seasoned PC to reflect your characters experience and talents before being frozen. In addition, you will have bonuses from basic Morrow Training and from the Team Role you select. Everyone will be capable of combat, repairs, healing and basic actions in the game world.
