A Savage World

Many fantasy settings take their cues from J.R.R. Tolkein and other authors that have sought to imitate him. While there is nothing wrong with that, one does crave the chance to play games in a setting inspired by such writers as Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and Fritz Leiber. These luminaries of sword and sorcery created characters who were not bastions of selflessness and heroism, but flesh and blood people who struggled to survive in an imperfect world. These unforgettable characters fought, thieved, lived, and loved in fantastic lands where the dangers of magic and mystery intertwined with very realistic problems of greed, poverty, violence, and corruption. Savage Sword recreates the feeling of these gritty worlds and characters in a game soaked in pulp action and rough and tumble romance.

Savage Sword is a game of sword and sorcery adventure set in a brutal, untamed, and exotic world. This is not a game of noble heroes on a quest to save the kingdom, but rather a game of flawed men and women who fight and adventure for the sake of wealth, revenge, love, or other personal goals. Traveling through strange and unfamiliar lands, these rugged wanderers seek out danger and thrills without hesitation or regret.

Along the way, they encounter merciless kings, greedy pirates, barbaric raiders, and priests tainted by dark magic. If you wish to explore treacherous wildernesses, stalk the dark alleys of corrupt cities, or plunder priceless treasures from heavily guarded vaults, then this is the setting for you.

This is a preview of the Pathfinder version of the system.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
