What Next - I have a plan - We need characters

After being shocked, and stunned, and worried, a plan is coming together for next session.  I think I (and we) need a better understanding of the system, so I have something in mind for next week.  It will let us explore some mechanics I don't think we have ever used.  It will work best with modern day chars, so maybe we just use the 'insipired by yourself' charactacters we talked about.  I am going to try to get to Nates today for gaming, and maybe can work on some of the chars then.  Feel free to be really liberal in what 'inspired by yourself' means, the main thing is that they are modern day starter characters.  If need be we can work on chars Wednesday so if it seems overwhelming then just give up.  Also remember that your hinderances are really important, bad stuff is great, using it and playing it up is worth bennies.

    1. Hmm, leather and bow, not what I would expect for modern. Perhaps a limit of the char maker Joe found?

    1. Well you can just hand edit it :)
      Maybe I will get char builder program, but it is hard to pick one.
      There seem to be 2 choices:
      Hero Lab $30
      http://www.wolflair.com/index.php?context=hero_lab
      or
      Wild Card Creator for $20
      http://www.journeymangames.net/
      Of course it makes no sense to get a copy for anyone other than me.
      Hero Lab works with many systems, but Wild Card Creator lets you input pdf rules files and auto adds stuff from them - and there are lots of Savage Worlds pdfs.

  4. I've got a character ready to go. I built it manually, not using a builder so I can't easily post it here. Is there an official builder?

    1. You can put it on the google docs share as a text file, I will send an email with the link. Please let me know if it fails.

    2. I'm using the PDF from the official site. It's fillable.
