Tri Tac Games Update: Savage Worlds Fringeworthy Production Update

This week I talk about the recent changes made to the Savage Worlds Fringeworthy playtest rules. 

• Update Campaign Types for Portal Book 4: Talked to Richard Tucholka and at this time, I'm not going to make any radical changes to the Campaign Types. Just editing for content.
• Add UN Budget Rules for Early Years: Added and they definitely need another set of eyes to review and comment on. 
• Update UNIDA description: Didn't get it done. Too much other stuff going on.
• New: Added Freelancer Character class. A new class of mercenary drifters who work for themselves. 

Things to do next week:

• Start on sandbox for Alt 0,2: Victorian 2 Earth/American Rebellion Earth
• Create Archetypes for Fringeworthy
• General Editing

Update again next Sunday!

Tri Tac Games Update: Savage Worlds Fringeworthy Production Update

This week I talk about the recent changes made to the Savage Worlds Fringeworthy playtest rules. 

• The first sandboxed world, The Junkyard pokiwol, has been created with adventure hooks.
• The Fringeborn Character template has been added to the Character Creation section of the rules.
• The Fringeborn Edge has been created.
• Ported over the d20 Fringeworthy Campaign types and models.
• Renamed the United Nations Space Agency to the World Aeronautics Exploration Agency, WAXA. This was added at the same time I added the United Nations Peacekeepers, Fringe Division.

Things to do for next week:

• Update the Campaign Types to take account of Portals Book 4. Events in that book will alter potential campaign types.
• Add in Budget rules for IDE Teams due to the fact that the UN doesn't have much money. 
• Update the UNIDA description to make it clear that it's an affiliate organization to the UN, that's beholden to the Security Council.
• Add in the new character type: The Freelancer. A Fringeworthy explorer who doesn't belong to UNIDA or TÆSS.

Update again next Sunday!
