Revision as of 20:30, 21 May 2024
You're a Duster, at home in the badlands. You look human, but you're really not. Life in the wilds has changed you on a fundamental level, and you and your crew and your airship are the lynchpins that holds society together.
Source Material
We will be using Savage Worlds Adventure Edition - SWADE - for this game.
Setting Rules
Heroes Never Die: As implied, things that should kill you somehow don't. Wild Card NPCs get similar benefit.
More Skill Points: PCs begin with 15 skill points instead of 12. Additionally, Piloting/Boating is treated as a Core Skill, starting at d4 instead of untrained.
Languages: Everyone in the setting speaks Trade Tongue. Dusters have developed their own secret language known only to them.
Duster Template
Outsider - Dusters appear human on the surface - mostly - but civilized folk can sense something is off with them. Subtract 2 from persuasion rolls vs non-Dusters.
Environmental Resistance (Dust) - Dusters get +4 to resist the negative effects of Dust that plagues the badlands.
Attribute Increase (Player's Choice) - Increase a particular attribute (Agility, Smarts, Spirit, Strength, or Vigor) one die type. That attribute die's maximum is d12 +1.
Adaptable - Gain one free Novice edge that you meet the requirements for.
Skills
The skills Driving, Electronics, Hacking, and Language won't see use in this game.
Similarly, the Power skills Faith, Psionics, Spellcasting and Weird Science are unavailable.
Focus is available, but will only be useful to those who take the edge, Arcane Background (Gifted).
Piloting/Boating will be treated as a single skill.
Hindrances
Because we will be posting as-available in action scenes, the Hesitant hindrance is unavailable to take.
Young is also off the table, because I'm not willing to run kids as PCs in this game.
Gear
Tech level is mostly wild west-ish, if the wild west had airships. Make your choices for personal gear accordingly.
The party will collectively have their own airship, but that will get statted out by the group in the development thread.
Rank and Advances
PCs start play as Novices.
