Then you just might love this actual play from GenghisCon 2016. It’s a Sunday morning game I wrote and ran called “Star Wars: Coming, Winter Is” where the classic Star Wars characters get taken over by their Game of Thrones alter-egos.
It was an interesting experiment for me. I’ve never really included sexual situations in my games and this one goes to the extreme other end of that scale. Which frankly is more comfortable than trying to run or play in a sexual situation that is supposed to be taken seriously. Which I still doubt I’d ever bother with in a game.
I’ve never encouraged Player vs. Player action in my games and this game practically mandates it. You’ll notice that about half way through the game I don’t even have any NPCs to manage and it’s all just the players interacting with each other.
There’s also an interesting bit of GM fiat I pulled near the end. One of the characters basically ended the game, and it was totally appropriate and consistent with the character. So that was the theatrical release ending but we played out a Blu-Ray Director’s Cut with alternate ending, and I ran the next scene. We had about 20 minutes left, the next scene was necessary to provide at least one other character the pay-off they had waited the entire game to achieve, and it also gave the players who had just been killed in the first ending a chance at a different outcome.
Unfortunately a lot of this dialogue was in my head and didn’t get communicated to the players like “hey, great ending, not going to take that away from you, but who wants to see what would happen if we also do this next scene, too.” I think it worked out though.
Blurb:
A blonde knight with one hand. A princess in the highest ranks of power. Siblings. Lovers. Conspiratorial murderers who brought down the last regime to install their evil father on the throne. Lannisters? Nay, Skywalkers.
Alderaan was a false flag event. The destruction of the Death Star was an inside job. Anakin “Darth Vader” Skywalker and his progeny have always known, always been in league. Their rise to the top of the Rebel Alliance and the Empire is no-coincidence, it’s all been a part of their plan.
And now the only thing that stands in their way to complete galactic domination is YOU. Restore the Republic, oust the tyrants!

Caleb Sundsted of the excellent Deadlands Reloaded Podcast, “Sounds Like Crowes,” joins us for an in-depth discussion of Season One of his show, the cast, and the players behind them.
In this episode we reveal some of the behind the scenes not-so-secrets of what equipment we use to record the show; character advancement pace; and how to decide which NPCs are Wildcards, Henchmen, and Mooks.
Things are as good as they’ve ever been with new Savage Worlds settings hitting Kickstarter all the time. But there are also a number of settings from before the kickstarter era that new players and GMs can get a lot of enjoyment out of. Prompted by an e-mail from listener Daniel C, we talk about a few new settings coming out as well as a few of our old favorites.
In today’s episode, you’ll find:
