About the adventure
Savage Worlds is a fast, action-focused RPG where big moments happen when the dice “explode” and turns get wild. This learn-to-play one-shot is made for brand-new SWADE players. I’ll teach the rules as we play, keep things moving, and make sure you understand what your options are without getting bogged down. After we cover the basics, you’ll use pre-generated characters and play through a short adventure that shows you how the system works in real time. By the end, you’ll have a solid handle on the basics and feel comfortable jumping into SWADE in almost any genre. What we’ll cover: --Core dice mechanics: Traits, Wild Dice, Raises, and why exploding dice are AWESOME! --Bennies: how to spend them and when to press your luck --Combat flow: initiative, actions, Tests, Support, and teamwork plays --Basic Character Creation (you will be given a pre-gen for the short story) --A short, complete, beginning-middle-end one-shot story with spotlight time for everyone to learn by play

About me
"Grab a hot drink, a seat around the fire, and listen to my cowboy song." "Comfortable? Good! Now, before we get started, I want you all to know that I tell my tales for your enjoyment and pleasure... so please respect each other and don't enter this area if you desire to cause another harm. If someone's pain is your objective or entertains you... You won't make it past the opening credits of our story." [About me: Having been in (often teaching) the Arts for over 25 years, I really enjoy teaching, and I understand how and love to foster creativity in players!] --Experienced GM/DM/ST for roughly 35 years. I have professionally run hundreds of games over multiple systems. In that time, I have learned that it is the players' story and I am just here to facilitate that experience and make it run smoothly and be as entertaining as possible. I see game rules as a way to keep on track and involved...I never let them get in the way of creativity or the group's enjoyment! I came to StartPlaying looking to run some serious and/or seriously fun sessions. My story telling style is light and flows easy. I do not let the mechanics detract from the experience, but use them to enhance the story you want to be told! Teaching new systems to new players is an experience I enjoy. We were all new players, or new to a system at one time...and without kind and proper guidance we probably wouldn't still be involved in this amazing pastime! Roll well and see ya around!

What DuChampion (JJ) brings to the table
[General GM statement, meant for all games] 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. I will coordinate all the parts to bring this living campaign to life. Communication, stories, updated maps and overall availability is what I will bring to the VTT. Foundry and discord will house the records/images/map/tales etc. I will organize it all so everyone enjoys the experience, and take pride in doing so.

How DuChampion (JJ) creates a safe table
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!
