Just ran my first session of Savage Worlds , as an open ended one shot. Two of my normal players couldn't make it, so I offer to run the a game for the other two. It was between Savage Worlds, The Wild Sea, and Traveler, since they were all on the unplayed shelf. They chose Savage Worlds, set in a distant future and one player asked for it to be a heist. I asked them if they wanted to steal "something magical, high technology, sometime of cultural significance like art or historical document, or just straight cash/gold?" The other player suggested... The Krabby Part Recipe. One deep freeze to the future, and a Patty Raid later, and they found that the Computer that can send them back will need another 742 years to complete the calculations needed to do so. So now we are set up for them to go quest for parts, and power to speed that number up. I've been looking for a Generic Setting RPG that I feel inspired to run and I think I may have found to in SWADE.

So a few of your were part of either the playtest of my World Building or you have seen me talk about it. A big thing I am working on on the first public test document that I should have out early next year is story seeds. Little jumping off points that can be used indivually or mixed together to help groups think of the kind of story they want to tell together. Anyone want to contribute an idea? I would credit anyone that adds to the post in the publication even if you idea gets cut.

Jonah and I have been talking a lot about strategies for wrapping up campaigns. Folks have talked about it once or twice here in the lab, but I'm curious about strategies people have used for ending a long-running campaign----how did you prep? Were there things you felt you needed to leave out? What was the highlight? Were there things you didn't cover in-game, but addressed in different ways?

Working on some projects, I'm becoming more and more interested in the formatting of games. The 5e, prose-heavy standard, especially in adventures they publish, was never a big hit for me. What games (not necessarily TTRPGs) do you find yourself really enjoying just reading and looking at because of how well it's formatted for ease of understanding? Shadowdark is a great example---it won an Ennie for it, after all---but I'm also a big fan of the layout of the 13th Age adventures like Eye of the Stone Thief (for the most part). It's relatively easy to find stuff, and everything you need is always right there on the page like monster stat blocks and treasure writeups, instead of stuffed away on a later page. They also group encounters in useful bundles, with big sections at the end for those pesky ones that don't fall under particular categories and might clutter it up otherwise

Hola Masters! One of my players wants to create a Chaotic Evil character to play our proactive game! Do you have any recommendations for this at all? Any idea how can I make his character a good team worker? Tia! Hasta pronto!
