Podcast appearances and mentions of shane hensley

Send us a textIn 2003 Shane Hensley and Pinnacle Entertainment released a brand-new generic roleplaying game. The game was called Savage Worlds and it kinda made a splash.The game emphasized speed of play over detail. That may not seem like much today, but at the time it was revolutionary. You see Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 was also released in 2003, which would go on to birth Pathfinder. Steve Jackson Games had 5 years' worth of source books available for their Generic Universal Roleplaying System. The market at that time was filled with games like Hero, Shadowrun, and Rolemaster,In other words, in 2003 we were at the height of crunch in our roleplaying games.And when I say crunch I am not talking about the candy bar.I'm talking about games with rules, hundreds of pages of rules. I'm talking about math, lots and lots of math. I'm talking about tables to cross-reference everything your characters might do. You see at the turn of the century most TTRPG's were focused on simulations. Trying to make the games as real as possible and to do that, you gotta lean hard into the rules.Shane Hensely changed that with Savage Worlds. By focusing on streamlining the systems and making sure your games were moving fast and your players where having fun he opened the doors for massive changes in how we see our roleplaying games.I would argue that Savage Worlds help bring about D&D 5e, Blades in the Dark, Powered by the Apocalypse, Mork Borg, and basically anything today that is considered rules light.I'm not the only one that thinks Savage Worlds is an impressive game.The game received the 2003 Origin Gamers' Choice Award for best role-playing game. Scott Taylor for Black Gate in 2013 rated Savage Worlds as Honorable Mention #1 in the top ten role-playing games of all time.But now I have to admit my own stupidity.When Savage Worlds came out in 2003 I wasn't interested. I saw it as a direct attack against my favorite game GURPS so I lifted my nose and kept playing GURPS. It wasn't until recently that I started diving into Savage Worlds and man did I miss the boat on this one.In this episode we are going to review Savage Worlds and talk about the game, the game system, why it's cool and why you should give it a shot.Mike, when did you first play Savage Worlds?[Kick to Mike]Christina, What about you?[Kick to Christina]

Are Savage Worlds Game Masters the WORST in the Industry? We tackle this controversial and provocative claim made on the G*M*S Magazine Podcast and more in this episode of the SavageCast. Savage News: Ghost Punchers by Darryl Hardy  This is Worldcrafting by Andrzej “Enc” Stój Gamecca Magazine Savage Review Series Olympus Inc is now for sale! Are Savage Worlds GMs the WORST Game Masters in the Industry? http://www.gmsmagazine.com/podcasts/podcast-episode-the-rpg-room-games-that-are-bad-for-the-industry Time in to Podcast: 48:00 minutes in  [------]   - 5:05 minutes left Context: Jim and Paco are talking about what games have been bad for the industry. Late in the show Jim is talking about other Indie RPGs that are too hipster or too mico-cosmic to have wide appeal and he wonders why he's bothering to publish indie games with these other games and hypothesizes that could rather just publish Savage Worlds stuff instead. ... Jim Pinto: Every time I see another Indy game come out, it makes me wonder why am I making these kind of games too. Why don't I just make a Savage Worlds expansion and just do that for the rest of my life. Paco Jaen: No, don't. Not Savage Worlds. Jim Pinto: I just needed an example and that's what popped in to my head. I can't say GURPS anymore. Paco Jaen: No, but you can use a good example. Jim Pinto: Uh, I think, I've said this before. I like Shane, I like Pinnacle, I like Savage Worlds. I think the player base that I continue to encounter are the worst game masters in the industry. So maybe we can say, that despite ... we can add that to the list ... despite the fact that Savage Worlds is a good idea and a good game, it has been bad for the hobby because it has empowered all these shitty GMs. GenghisCon 40 is coming, February 16th-19th, 2017 We interview Matt Rowles, owner, on all the Savagery we can expect: Ed Wetterman, Shane Hensley, and more.
