Hi everyone,
With our table secured we are back on track to start this savage campaign on Monday July 6th from 18:30 to 22:30. Currently, we are only looking for two more players.
We'll be using the award winning Savage Worlds Explorer Edition (SWEX) rule system which is perfectly suited to high action pulp heroics, and developing colorful characters with plenty of role-playing hooks. All with the added benefit of being extremely easy to learn.
No knowledge of the rules is required but for those of you who are keen you can checkout the SWEX test drive rules here;

The campaign will be based on the published adventures for the Hellfrost setting written by Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams. There will be an emphasis on pulp action heroics with some survival horror thrown in alongside gritty arctic survival scenes. Society is succumbing to an unnatural ice age where famine and the bitter cold are constant threats.
Several pre-gen characters are available for download here;

I've included the setting summary from the back of the Player's Guide below.
An endless winter is coming...
The history of Rassilon is bloody. From the frozen far north, beyond the civilized lands with their rolling hills and forests, arose a mighty army of frost giants, ice devils, Hellfrost dragons, and fearsome orcs, servants all of the ice god Thrym. So began the terrible Blizzard War and the downfall of the mighty empires of man.
Five hundred years later the races of the southern lands may have won the war, but they suffer its legacy still. For five centuries the winters have grown steadily longer and colder. Huge swathes of the land of Rassilon are permanently covered in ice and snow, and even the temperate lands are not spared the misery of failed harvests, deadly winters, and the dreaded Hellfrost wind.
But winter is not the only danger. A mere 30 years ago, magic, once the civilized races’ most potent weapon, suddenly began to fail. The Siphoning, an effect of unknown origin, has made magic an unpredictable ally.
Welcome to the world of Rassilon. Welcome to the Hellfrost!
