  I'm thinking you don't like it.
  I appreciate the warning for foul language, but as
long as I've been on this list we've always tried to
keep that in check (for the children).  Of course I'm
a master of profanity myself, just not in public.
  So I would ask you to kindly refrain from such
language for the ladies and gentlemen in the audience
(and no I'm not a lady and those photos where fakes):)

Ok, now I finally get to address how bad this system
sucks, and by sucks I mean it deepthroats a cock and
chokes to death on the balls. First off the characters
that we converted over we converted over at legendary
status. While this might seem over powered to some
theses were our unity characters. In otherwords these
were the biggest badasses we had and we flew through
fucking hell with the reckoners in a little box at our
side. Now I guess I should have known then that
something would cause the entire deadlands system to
suck because that was the worse adventure for a
roleplaying game I have ever played. I say this
because in order for it to work you GM had to shove
his fingers up your nose and drag you though the whole
thing. Some of you may say this was the GMs fault and
that he should have filled in the holes with something
to make the adventure better, but that is the reason
adventures are published. so the Gm doesn't have to !
make shit up. I'll get of the Unity topic now since I
really don't fill like posting 8 million pages of
stupid idiocies in the adventure. Back to Savage
Worlds. A vigor of a D12 gives you a toughness of 8(2+
half vigor) add two for being dead and you get a 10
thats 8+2=10 for you slow ones out there. Next you
come to tough as nails and imp. tough as nails which
give you +3 putting you at 13. Now since the savage
worlds rules sucked we do have a shitload of house
rules for powers but back to the point. Supernatural
vigor adds +2 so theres a fifteen toughness. meanin
you have to roll a nineteen to give him one wound.
Next come armor. I believe kevlar adds +2 to armor and
is good god against bullets, so between it and a God
roll on Force field for a syker which everyone is at
the end of the unity you can get up to a 21 toughness
if they are not using Ap bullets meaning they would
have to roll a 25 to hurt you. Avg. Ass rif! le does
2D8+1 or +3 if firing three round bursts with an avg.
! damage of 10 or 12 with a 3 rnd. burst. I'm not
seeing that hurting any time soon. Now onto the
subject of actions in combat . Do the characters have
their tendons seize up around the damn trigger or
something. I can fire an Ass. rifle with a rof of 4 at
4 different targets spinning in a 360 degree arc to
hit them while firing a pistol in my other hand then
if I'm a doomie I can teleport next to a guy and crack
him in the face with the assault rifle while ninja
kicking him but I cant shoot two zombies standing
right next to each other in one action without going
full auto. I dont care about the space time continium
theory of any of that shit that makes no fucking
sense. Now I'll talk about conversion,which by the way
sucks pretty hardcore and should never be tried
without a private counselor on hand because you will
go crazy because of how much shit you lose. even if
you convert your character with 80 exp. making it
legendary it is still really gay!  and shouldn't be
tried because you will still lose a lot of your
character. The main problem I have with savage worlds
is that if you don't want to die very quickly your
character has to combat oriented in every way and you
lose a lot of the flavor of your character if you
convert. My friends character that was a mechanic
before the last war only has a D4 in repair because
even after losing half his stuff he still didn't have
enough levels to buy most of his skills to a decent
level. I guess what I'm trying to say is I came into
this system very biased against it because th
conversion looked like it sucked. But I tried to give
it a fair chance and that chance had its intestines
ripped out because the system is so fucking gay. You
might like savage worlds or in my opinion Advanced
D20. But my brain hurts after playing it because the
rules are so horrendous. 

Sincerely, 

            The great and wonderful Crash
