Über dieses Spiel
Savage Worlds is a tabletop roleplaying game of pulp action, fast and furious play, and universal rules. There are a number of settings built specifically for Savage Worlds, including the weird west Deadlands, piratical 50 Fathoms, and action-horror Rippers. But Savage Worlds includes robust support for creating your own setting or converting an existing one as well! The rules are generic and universal, meaning any genre or setting could be adapted to and played in Savage Worlds. The tone of these games will be action-oriented, pulpy, and focus on dynamic heroes who can pull off amazing feats, but beyond that, there's little Savage Worlds can't handle. Adventure fantasy, superheroes, sword-and-sorcery, even multiversal science-fantasy setting Rifts all adapt easily to the Savage Worlds framework.
Savage Worlds' rules are quick but comprehensive, covering everything from dramatic action scenes like chases and combat to interpersonal interludes where characters can interact in downtime. The game offers the freedom to the players and game master to create any setting they can imagine, and populate it with characters who, with a little luck, can accomplish the impossible.

How to Play Savage Worlds
2000 Tales RolePlaying takes you through the basics of Savage Worlds for beginners. This is the first in a series of videos from this channel on how to play Savage Worlds, so be sure to check out the rest of the series for more details!
The basic mechanic of Savage Worlds is rolling your character's Trait Die, the d4, d6, d8, d10, or d12 associated with the relevant trait to the challenge at hand, and the Wild Die, a bonus die representing the player characters' luck, and taking the higher result. Compare that result to a target number, usually 4. If your result is greater than or equal to the target number, you succeed! If your dice roll their highest result, e.g. 8 on a d8, you can re-roll them and add the results together. This is called an "ace" or explosion, and it can achieve results many times higher than the target number.
To help them along, player characters (called "Wild Cards" in many Savage Worlds games) also have access to "bennies," or benefits, a limited resource they can spend for various bonuses. Bennies might let you re-roll a trait check or damage, soak up wounds, influence the story, among other useful tricks! They might also have edges and powers that allow them special abilities that might otherwise break the rules.
In combat, initiative is determined by dealing playing cards, then going down the ranks from ace down to deuce. Jokers are wild and can go anytime, and come with a bonus to the character using it. Each character can move and take an action, as well as spend bennies or take penalties to push themselves to do more during each round of combat.

What do I need to play Savage Worlds?

You won't always need to have the rulebooks to start, but if you want to read through them to make sure you know all the rules, this might also be a good option.

Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, or "SWADE" is the most up-to-date edition of Savage Worlds.
What are some of Savage Worlds' settings?

The most popular are Deadlands, a weird wild west setting; Rifts, a science-fantasy setting; 50 Fathoms, a piratical fantasy; Rippers, for action horror; Weird Wars, historical fiction military fantasy; and Necessary Evil, supervillainous antihero action.
It's not uncommon for other roleplaying games and settings to create adaptations to Savage Worlds' rules, as with Rifts and Pathfinder.
