Savage Worlds | Campaign

About the adventure

😷 The world has gone crazy as the eternal virus ravages the world over the last 50 years. Now as one of the few groups of survivors left, do your best to survive and even thrive in this new post apocalyptic wasteland. 🧟 Avoid the dangerous hordes of wanderers, a strange form of everlasting humans who have gone insane and now are just vessels for the eternal virus. Do your best not to get infected and become a wanderer yourself. 🚶‍♂️ Travel the world in search of resources, avoiding conflicts, unable to stay in one place too long lest the hordes find you. Food, water, medicine, fuel and more resources could be easily found one day and yet struggling to get more soon after. It is up to you to make sure you have enough every day. 🏚️ Perhaps you want to take your chances and settle down? Gather what few survivors are left that you can find and start to reestablish some form of civilization. A house in the middle of a small town or a skyscraper in one of the abandoned big cities? It is up to you to decide your fate. 🍀 Come try your luck and see how long you'll survive! The world is screwed and now it is time for you to find your final haven.

Shade is invested in whatever campaigns to set themselves too. Patient, fair and always does their best to ensure a good time is had by all. I've played their worlds before, it's always been a trip I can look forward too remembering

Extremely dedicated to the craft, spending far more time than most simply polishing and perfecting their talent to ensure that when something is done, it's done right.

Shade has been nothing but patient and very approachable with any questions or any ideas I wanted to make happen in their world setting. Even at times when I had ideas that were too much scaling wise or simply couldn't work within the world, they've always tried their best to either provide alternatives or given feedback how it can done differently. Shade's creativity in world building is wonderful, and isn't afraid to allow player input to make major changes to the world setting from their actions and consequences, truly allowing for good immersion and fun gameplay.

Gameplay details

Players can expect a check in before the beginning of session to gather any lines and veils, learning the limits of what they'd want to experience. There will be a 2-5 minute break midway through session for everyone to use the bio, get water, or just take a breather. Players should be ready to experience unfairly sided combats and challenging issues. As a survival based game they can die equally to starving or being overwhelmed by enemies. The game has no set end point in mind and players may join and drop as they like. The sessions are designed to allow players to craft their own stories in a world completely ravaged by desperation of survival and monsters that never naturally die now moving across the landscape.
