Why Savage Worlds?

Why Savage Worlds? Why is Wiseguys a good fit for it?

To answer that question I must first begin by talking about Just Insert Imagination. Just Insert Imagination came into existence in 2015 with the release of Winter Eternal for Savage Worlds. Founded by Morne Schaap, it has primarily been a publisher of Savage Worlds products ever since.

I, Eric Lamoureux, have been playing Savage Worlds for over 10 years and it's still my go-to system. I've been freelancing for about 6 years now, writing and designing products for Savage Worlds licensees, and joined the Just Insert Imagination crew late in 2015.

You can be confident that Just Insert Imagination knows Savage Worlds. So that's one reason why we chose Savage Worlds for Wiseguys.

The arrival of the Adventure Edition has made Savage Worlds more versatile than ever. The expansion of the Interludes, update to the Dramatic Task, the addition of the core skills,  new Edges, and Quick Encounters make it an excellent fit for Wiseguys.

Lastly, while this more a serendipitous than anything else, Wiseguys is the most natural setting to theme for your game. Think about it; Las Vegas, gambling? That's right! Your regular deck of card and poker chips are already perfectly themed for Wiseguys!

For today's art preview, we have an illustration by Mike Tenebrae. This character is Manny Sambino, a young but upcoming capo of La Cosa Nostra.
