Fear not, th...They are indeed for the Fallcon game. Fear not, they will be DONE! <BR/><BR/>Savage Worlds: Pirates of the Spanish Main looks very pretty. I could do without the pretty. I'd much rather buy two softcover books with a few B&W pictures than one hard cover with full colour pictures throughout. It makes the price a bit steep for what you get. I buy books for rules to play games not look at pretty pictures. I'm not sure why everyone seems to be puting out all these full colour book crammed full of so-so illustrations...? Is it to give work to their illustrator friends that can't get work elsewhere? (woah... before anyone freaks out there are some very nice pictures in Pirates... and some that are... well... not so great... I'm just questioning if ANY of them REALLY need to be in there...?).<BR/><BR/>As for the useful content there's a bit of new stuff that's handy for a pirates comapaign. Some of it is utter rubbish - see future post on house rules... The background will be interesting, if I ever get around to reading it... If you have no other SW books and you want to run a Pirates game it's probably an alright deal. If you already have some SW stuff - maybe not so much... If you're just looking to pick up the core rules wait a few weeks for the Savage Worlds: Explorers Edition - a 6'x9' paperbakc that will retail for $10US! I DO hope this is the beginning of a new trend in how PEG published their rules. I like to support them... but I'm just not sure how many more $50CDN hardcover books I can bring myself to buy...timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-61511266183282010212007-07-06T07:28:00.000-07:002007-07-06T07:28:00.000-07:00Are the Chinese, Russians and Indians for the CLA ...Are the Chinese, Russians and Indians for the CLA battle at Fallcon? You better have those done, as I have been selling it to everyone I meet!<BR/><BR/>I am curious to see your pictures for the Pirates game. How does SW Pirates look?Jolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489222384096732121noreply@blogger.com
