Savage Worlds, Rifts | Campaign
About the adventure
-BEGINNERS WELCOME 📺 https://youtu.be/dyZK8JkKWqI (Savage Worlds Rifts Ad) The Dark Frontier ain’t for the faint of heart. Out here, it’s more than just outlaws and lawmen—raiders with plasma rifles, sorcerers riding ley lines, and creatures straight outta nightmares lurk in the dust. The settlements are few, the dangers are plenty, and if you wanna make it, you’ll need grit, guts, and a little luck on your side. 🪝STORY HOOK: Saddle up, pardner—there’s trouble brewing in the darkened hills near Copper Creek, and only folks with true grit and nerves of steel stand a chance of setting things right. In this Savage Rifts adventure inspired by the classic spirit of Louis L'Amour, you'll ride into a town teetering on the brink, where secrets run deep, justice hangs by a thread, and danger creeps in on horseback after sunset. Mysteries lurk in the shadows of the Widowmaker Mine, where a sinister rider left only ruin and whispers behind. If you've got the guts, the grit, and a quick trigger, ---Copper Creek needs heroes—but beware, friend: the line between heroism and ruin has never been thinner. This is Savage Rifts: The Dark Frontier—where six-shooters meet cybernetics, and the Old West collides with a world torn open by the Rifts. Whether you’re a bounty hunter chasing down things that shouldn’t exist, a gunslinger with a score to settle, or a drifter looking to carve out your own piece of the wasteland, there’s a place for you in this story. So saddle up, grab your gear, and get ready to ride. The Dark Frontier is waiting. 🎲🎲SWADE makes it Fast! Furious! and Fun!🎲🎲 Savage Worlds Adventure Edition is a streamlined tabletop role-playing game system featuring fast-paced gameplay, narrative-driven mechanics, and a customizable approach to storytelling.

What I provide
I have learned over the years that it is the players story and I am just here to facilitate that experience and make it run smooth and be as entertaining as possible. Maps, reference materials, notes, photos etc. will be posted on Foundry VTT and/or discord I will organize it all so everyone enjoys the experience, and take pride in doing so..
Gameplay details
This will be an open door game, if you need to take a break, for any reason, please do so!! All I ask, is if you can, please mute your mic so I know you are out. -Any use of "out of character" Racism, Sexism, or Discrimination or Personal Attacks of any kind will get you banned. -Players who do these things repeatedly "in character" are discouraged/warned/and subject to being (quickly) kicked or banned. -If you do not follow the “Fade to Black” rule you will be kicked or banned. **Fade to Black Rule** During the game, if there is ever an event, situation, or anything that as a player makes you feel Please say “Fade to Black” (same as N card although sometimes I don't see the chat right away)and that scene will end. I will not ask, I will not judge, I will take control and respect this choice. No story is worth paining someone!
