Necessary Evil Explorer's Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

NOTE: Necessary Evil came out before The Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion, which builds upon the rules in this setting and therefore repeats much of it.

The Fate Of The World Lies With The Scum Of The Earth! When the super heroes of the world are blown to kingdom come by an unstoppable army of invading aliens, who will save the day? Evil... The only forces left to take on the alien menace are the crafty and self-serving super-villains!

Necessary Evil is a supers game done Savage Worlds style. Inside the twisted Plot Point setting are complete rules on making four-color super-powered characters, over seventy super powers, a whole pile of adventures weaving in and out of a resistance story, new Edges and Hindrances, a bestiary of out-of-this-world critters, and more! Necessary Evil requires the Savage Worlds Roleplaying Game to play, available wherever you found this book.

This is a PDF downloadable product of an Explorer's Edition-sized book (6.5"x9").

Hi all. An update for NE isn't currently on the schedule. Small company...2 people. We'll get to it, but it will be a while. We do have other Necessary News on the horizon, including an updated Super Powers Companion and Necessary Evil: Cosmic Crisis. Of course Necessary Evil 2: Breakout, is also available if you weren't aware. Thanks!

I'd be interested in a SWADE update as well. Necessary Evil was my longest-running Savage Worlds campaign. Held my players' interest for quite a long time. Doesn't seem to be much updated at all by Pinnacle for SWADE aside for Deadlands and RIFTS, which I never cared for. :/

Hi I bought the PDF and have a problem with layers: it seems the only available layer is "Text" and toggling it doesn't change anything.

I'd like to print out a few pages for my players, and really need to be able to switch to a printer-friendly layout.

Can you help me ?

Thanks and kind regards.

This is not listed as part of the Savage Worlds System, for some reason. It definitely is, but isn't listed as such.

I didn't think that reviewer Luke M. gets that this book was out BEFORE the Supers book.

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.
