- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Welcome to a video series on learning Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, or SWADE, and in this video we’ll be looking at some basic rules and game mechanics.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be uploading new videos that’ll also explore everything from character creation, to combat, to understanding all the various options and genres available to gamemasters in starting a new campaign. Videos will be as to the point as possible, following the same concept design as Savage Worlds - simple, fast and fun!
I hope you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. I know what I find helpful are the various tools and assets I use in my game. To be part of a fantastic community on Facebook, please join the Official Savage Worlds Facebook Group. Everyone is friendly and there is always terrific advice being shared:

This was very helpful. Parts of the book can be confusing because they have a tendency to use jargon without defining it. I will be showing this to my players before our next session
Terrific! Glad it helped
THANK YOU - I've been trying to get running this thing, but didn't want to spring for the ruleset without a clear set of examples on how the game is run. So helpful 🙏
KBash, what are you doing here? Aren't you reviewing a video game series?! Jajajajajajaja.
I hope your games went well!
This should really be collected in a playlist.
That’s a great idea! Thanks very much, I hope the videos have been helpful.
@GameMasterLee they have been.
Best basic rules SWADE video I've seen by far. Thanks.
This was amazing. Much appreciated. Especially since I am running a swade game tonight and didn't really know the game mechanics 😂
Excellent - glad it helped. How’d the game go?
@@GameMasterLee First session went great, thank you! ^^ Happy gamers all around, and I only f#%ked up a few minor things when running a big fight with 14 combatants. All minor things that didn't break the flow. W00t! 😂
Excellent description and production. PLEASE keep them coming with combat, chase, powers, skills, dominion, dealing with the devil, team ups, etc.
You got it!! Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I’ve got a list going of upcoming video topics and you’ve helped add to it… so thanks! I’m working on Basic Character Creation now and will have that up Sunday.
@@GameMasterLee Yes. Straight-forward Chase presentation would be epic!
@@twistedtechmike4866Excellent, thank you and that’s coming up!
Yeah Great Work
@@twistedtechmike4866 SO... it took me over a year to do but I just finally released the Chase video. In fact, it caused me quite the creative block for a while. But Part 1 is up and Part 2 I'm working on now.
these are excellently made videos.
Pinnacle should link your videos to their site.
Man I’d love that!! Let’s get the word out to Pinnacle!! Lol
This is hands down the best intro to Savage Worlds that I have seen! Using FoundryVTT as a visual aid made a huge difference. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into these videos. You are an absolute gem!
That was so well done, you're exactly what I needed to run a game, great editing, I look forward to watching the rest of them.
Thank you!
I feel like I learned enough to start playing wow what’s great concise well made video.
I appreciate the time you take to put these amazing videos together. They really do make a difference, in my experience. Cheers!
Really great intro, gave me all the info I needed to get a good idea of the system and in a clear and concise way, nicely done!
Seconding Wattsbot1's sentiment. First time SW GM here, absolutely instrumental to mine and my party's understanding of it all. Thank you so much.
Wow, honestly when I hear that I can't tell you how happy that makes me. I love SWADE and I started making these videos because I couldn't find ones like it when I wanted to learn. Is there anything in particular you want to see?
@@GameMasterLee If I could say anything is kind of confusing in the Adventurer's Guide, it would be how you mark down and consistently apply Trappings with Powers. I seemingly must have missed something, because I find that there's a disconnect between adding a system that works off of written details, but then doesn't give you somewhere to write said details.
That’s interesting! I’m going to discuss that one with a couple of folks.
This is awesome! Last time I tried to find a video explaining this system it didn't exist or it wasn't a very good explanation. More videos need to show a little gameplay to showcase how the rules work. Thank you so much for this dude!
I know I'm late to the party, but I really appreciate the video. Clear, concise, and very helpful. Thank you for putting this together!
Not late at all! It’s a pleasure to meet you and I appreciate the kind words. And if you’re new to SWADE then welcome aboard!
Thank you for the basic rundown of the rules. This helped inform my most recent purchase of the SWADE system PHB. ^_^
Please make more of these videos! This was incredibly helpful, specifically how you broke down a scene and focused no how the game mechanics and rules work with in-game examples. It was also helpful that you used one scene and characters. I am just getting into RPG's again after years away, and have decided on Savage Worlds system, because we want to play in multiple settings. These videos really make the game easier to understand.
I hope your return journey is going well. I have just released a video on Chase rules, and will be releasing part two soon. There will be lots of different scenes in that one!
Excellent video! Clear, fast and concise...just as Savage Worlds should be.
Thanks very much! I'll work to keep it up!
These vids are great. Starting a new campaign tomorrow and these are helpful for all of us!
Subbed!
This is a fantastic showcase of savage worlds
Thanks very much!!
The best tutorial rpg I’ve seen !
Love the videos...I can't wait for more.
Wow thanks! More are coming…
I agree. I'm enjoying these. Thanks a ton for your work and effort.
Glad you like them!! Thanks so much.
Such a clear and informative vid on this system. Super useful.
This was very helpful. I am fairly new to table top games and my first time playing savage worlds. Quick and clear explanation of the mechanics.
So as a newcomer, what brought you to Savage Worlds?
Starting my first Savage Worlds game here very soon! This will be very helpful! Thank you!
Excellent! Let me know if there’s other topics you’d like to see. Enjoy the new game.
Fantastic video! Good quality, clear and concise. Just what I've been looking for to give to my players who have never played Savage Worlds. Looking forward to more!
Wow! That made my day, thanks! I’m working on my next video - Basic Character Creation - as we speak and it should up Sunday. Thanks again!
Great video! I'm so excited for Savage Worlds. I should have changed from the old Wotc systems long time ago!
I used to say the same thing!! lol - enjoy!!
Thanks for the link to the greg bruni stuff. Top down tokens are so cool. Also thanks for the informative video
You bet! I love Greg’s work.. i’m featuring him again my next video, Chase rules part two, because all the various scenarios I put in the video just happen to have his tokens in each and every single one.
Hands down the best for new players keep it up.
Damn!! Now THAT’S a compliment. Thank you very much. I’ll keep trying to make them this way.
Love these videos. I hope you make some more! 🙏
I just did! I needed a hiatus and then a hiatus from the hiatus, followed by a break… but I’m back!
Fantastic video. I like a lot that you give real examples or situations because that helps to understand the rules better espacially for me as a SWADE newbie. Keep going I can't wait to watch the other videos.
Thanks very much! My next video is on character creation and I was worried I was getting to detailed with the example, but your comment helps me feel I’m on the right track. Thank you!
Great refresher. Been a few years.
Great video!
Cheers!
Excellent explanation of the basic rules!
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment
Really enjoyed your videos on SWADE. We played SW a lot years ago but recently I picked up the new edition and wanted to just get a refresher on it. You've done a really great job explaining and demonstrating everything! I've passed on your videos to my players as well. Great quality content for Savage Worlds. Look forward to more content from your channel.
That was a great video, keep up the good work 🎉
Thanks so much!!
Good explanation, keep going!
Thanks, will do!
thank you for this. this is very informational.
This series will be most excellent for my group….you got a subscriber in me 👍🏼
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much! :)
really great. thank you so much
Well put together! Luckily it's with a voice-over, because I'd noticed a common misspeak: While Wild Cards can take three Wounds without becoming Incapacitated, while Extras can take zero Wounds. Or looking at it the other way, WCs can take four Wounds before becoming Incapacitated, Extras can take one before Incapacitation.
I’m not sure how you look at it another way. The rule book clearly states: WC can three wounds before they’re incapacitated. They can still function. Upon the fourth wound they become incapacitated.
Around 7:45 you show an example of an exploding d6 roll, where the result was 6, 6, 2... And you declared the total to be 12. Wouldn't you add the 3rd roll of 2, making the total 14?
You are correct! I used the result of the d8 and I should have used the d6… thanks for pointing that out!
@@GameMasterLee
The good news is your video is so clear and well-explained, I understood 😊
Any more videos?
I used to play SW 2nd edition, so I was thinking if it's worth changing to Adventure Edition for may next campain. Do you think it's worth it? Anyway, very nice video man, keep'em coming please!!! Love from Brazil, man!!
Hola! First THANK YOU for the kind words. Honestly I only started last summer with Adventure Edition so I have no experience with 2nd Edition. But I know where there are folks that do - the OFFICIAL Savage Worlds Facebook group. Ask there!
facebook.com/groups/UnofficialSavageWorlds/?ref=share&mibextid=S66gvF
Thank you
Great video! What add on did you use for the modifiers for the dice?
Great question! I'm a big fan of Better Rolls 2 for Savage Worlds. I'll be doing a future video on my Foundry VTT set-up! What are YOUR favourite mods?
What module produces chat cards with those toggles? Specifically, the chat card when Blake makes his Notice roll...I cannot locate the correct one.
I’ll check!
nice you useing Foundry Virtual Table Top it i so good
Great video! Which foundry modules do you use for SWADE? I also have Better Rolls turned on.
Check out my video on Foundry, I just out my favourites. I use Better Rolls 2 over Better Rolls.
@@GameMasterLee thanks I just watched it. Really helped!
how much time do you think it would take to explain to someone how Savage World works?
How it works? The basics not long at all. All the added details? About as long as the videos I’ve created…
@@GameMasterLee so about an hour. gotcha
Do you use "dice" for singular as well as plural because that's what you'd learned, or because that's becoming common?
I think when I’ve used “dice” in the video I’m referring to using multiple dice, as in making rolls, and I’ve used “die” when referring to singular or a type of die but hey I could be wrong. Easy to get mixed up lol
In my part of the world, using the singular is slightly pedantic.
@@simonwatkins3236hahahaha nice!
Deadlands?🤠
rifts or pathfinder as savage worlds is like playing magic the gathering with Uno rules.. and about as cool
Well that’s what’s terrific in having so many systems to choose from - the systems can be as complex as you like. It’s better to grow the RPG community than diminish it.
So with the worst Dice possible, d4, and d6, you have a 62.5% chance of passing any check that doesn't have modifiers. :\
That seems kind of high for literally the worst possible roll you can make.
It does… except there’s almost always modifiers for the rolls that matter. Give the game a try before you scoff.
Aaaannnd, you’ve already lost me in the first couple of minutes.
“Monsters/bad guys” ought have one number…at most two or three….
OD&D and/or B/X D&D or RISUS or FF…. It would already be done before all this extra stuff.
It’s bizarre the game pretends to be “fast” (at least) but I could have the same combat ten times over in other systems before a single (confusing ONE) in SW. 😕 🤷♂️
You might want to take your opinion with a bit of a grain of salt, for one thing this is entirely new and secondly, you should really give it a try. It’s a bit of a paradigm shift because savage world isn’t a game of attrition like many other RPG‘s. But at the end of the day, what matters is finding the game system that works for you. Not about which system is best it’s about which system is best for the player.
