I thought I would share a personal project -- a Savage Worlds post-apocalyptic toolkit. My beginning goal was to convert Gamma World and Metamorphosis Alpha to Savage Worlds, but without IP violations of their properties. After pulling in some things from Wiggy's SciFi toolkits, Necropolis and adding my own ideas, Savage Apocalypse (SA) became much more than just Gamma World for SW. SA has gone through beta playtesting by a small group, but there are always items that need to be expanded, better explained or even consolidated. If anyone finds something to improve or new ideas to add, send me email. For those not particularly interested in the post-apocalyptic genre, SA also has plenty of ideas for SciFi campaigns. Enjoy! Savage Apocalypse – A Savage Worlds Explorers Edition post-apocalyptic toolkit. The toolkit includes character generation, powers, setting rules, gear, robots and creatures. link Savage Apocalypse Hero Sheet – Character sheet for Savage Apocalypse. link Savage Apocalypse Hero Sheet – Print-Friendly link Note: The main doc title contains the font "CHE LIVES" TTF. If that is not installed, the title may look weird. This is the same font as the character sheet title. |

Wow, with just a quick skim it looks great. We'll probably use a lot of this in our post-apoc SW campaign.( wlinenm.bofthebb.com ) Thanks. Also Thanks for a providing a print-friendly version of the character sheet. |

Since I do not have my own website and want to be able to control the hosting (for file updates), this is the best solution I have. Although, signing up for Scribd is quick and easy

Looks good. I have never tried Savage Worlds but I may look into it. If you are looking for more playtesters or to spread the word you could try the post apoc wargames forum. link |

How do we download this in PDF? And how is it different from the Gamma World on this site? link |

"How do we download this in PDF? And how is it different from the Gamma World on this site?" All the files are in PDF format. Once at the Scribd link, there is a download option in the toolbar. Savage Apocalype differs from Savage Gamma World in that it consolidates many mutant powers, gets rid of extremely overpowered or hard-to-play features. SA provides more of a full toolkit to create a post-apocalyptic world instead of just focusing on a Gamma World conversion. Best of all, SA is free of IP violations. I'm sorry to say that possessing or transmitting Savage Gamma World would violate Hasbro's IP and leave one open to prosecution. |

File link update. Scribd was causing a lot of pain, requiring a subscription. I put the file package up on MediaFire, since it's more user-friendly. Enjoy! link |
