Beasts and Barbarians Steel Edition Preview

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This is a preview of upcoming Beasts and Barbarians Steel Edition, crowdfunding of which will start on Indiegogo on 5th of the June 2017. We present you 2 chapter openings from Player`s Guide and Game Master`s Guide. Art is also a preview. We want to have a lot of new, color art, but for preview we use old, but colored. So, art will change, of course! This is only a layout preview. 

Both books will be HC and in color. 

Welcome to the Dread Sea Dominions!

Imagine a land, far away in space and time, dominated in the past by a cruel race of sorcerer-priests, the Keronians. Cursed by the gods, their empire was wiped out by a cataclysm, the fall of the Dread Star, which has thrown the world into barbarism and created the Dread Sea Dominions from the scattered ruins of the past.

It is a world of savage barbarians who venture into ancient ruins to save scantily-clad damsels from a fate worse than death under the claws of pre-human beastmen.

It is a world of chainmail bikini amazons fighting in the sun-scorched arenas of Faberterra to appease the crowds of the decadent cities of the Iron Empire.

It is a world where dark sorcerers invoke the forbidden names of demons in temples old before mankind took its first, hesitant, steps outside the caverns of the north.

This is the world of Beasts & Barbarians where everything is built to evoke the feel of the pulp fantasy stories of the ’30s!

Because Steel is Stronger than Gold!

This project will fund the third edition of Beasts & Barbarians, the Sword and Sorcery setting for Savage Worlds. After the first, seminal, Player Guide, the fans and players demanded a more complete game, the Golden Edition, which served us well for five years.

Since then, many things have happened in the Dominions, both in the official sourcebooks and published scenarios, and in the awesome stories you’ve told with your friends around the gaming table, and we decided to extend the timeline by the same amount of time, giving us the chance to introduce new events, sinister plots, events and characters.

We’ve hammered down this new edition in steel, the holiest of metals: streamlined for the new edition of Savage Worlds, it includes an extended timeline, new lore, an expanded setting, gear, adventures, monsters and much more.

Oh, and all of this is in full color.

But only you, wise reader, can decide if this blade will be forged or not!

Beasts & Barbarians Steel Edition is composed of two books, the Player Guide and the Game Master Guide.

The Player Guide includes:

  • Summarized descriptions of the lands and the history of the Dominions
  • Accurate descriptions of the various playable cultures, including clothing, religion, technology and so on.
  • More than 40 new Hindrances and Edges to create sword and sorcery heroes.
  • Specific gear (from loincloths to Amazon Hawk Ships)
  • Three custom-made arcane backgrounds and their specific trappings: sorcery, Lotusmastery and enlightenment.
  • Setting rules including After the Adventure events, crafting rules, expanded mass battle rules
  • And much more!

 

The Game Master Guide includes:

  • A detailed history of the Dominions, expanded and focused on the last five years.
  • A gazetteer of the Dominions, including old and new plot hooks for each region, and the new Dominion Events.
  • A chapter focused on themes, tricks and narrative techniques to make your games even more Swordy and Sorcerish.
  • Rules and tips to create Character Tales (adventures focused on a single player character).
  • A fully-fledged character generator.
  • An expanded Bestiary, including Personalities of the Dominions, the movers and shakers of the setting.
  • An introductory  One Sheet adventure.

If funded, you will also get an introductory adventure "The Soul in the Water", so you can jump into the Dominions in no time!

Both books will be hardcover, 144 pages. Adventure will be in booklet format (Black and white), but with color pdf.

Exiting News!
But what do you mean with full conversion? Will there be revised sourcebooks of the Gold /Steel edition, or will there be a new edition of the core rules , followed bei new Splat books?
Will there be a kickstarter / indigogo or something similar?

Fantastic! I can hardly wait. I will definatly be backing this on indiegogo as I love this setting. Will the expanded timeline effect some of the B&B supplements that are already out?

If yes, all will be explained in the book. No worries :) So you will be able to play them before or after the changes. You know, we won`t destroy Jalizar or totaly change Tricarnia :) Gladiators, Pirates, and such sourcebooks are not "setting", so no worries here.

OK, so you won't be pulling any condensed info from the sourcebooks like Tattered, Pirates or Gladiators into this new edition, then?

We basically made a selection and fine-tuning of the best Edges/rules from older sourcebooks (for example Battle Value from Tattered Banners is now included in Steel Edition). Older sourcebooks are 99% usable (you can still use the Edges/rules included in them, as their background info). In Steel Edition we ADVANCED the timeline, but all the past remained as written in Golden Edition and Golden Edition sourcebooks.

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
