Sorry about the lateness in this post, but I had to recover the Main document after I had an issue with some tables. I was also up last night, Sunday, working on new sections. The book is 171 pages as of today, over 72,000 words and it’s still growing. I didn’t get much of my list from last time done, as I realized that I needed to merge in a lot of stuff from the d20 book. That also means rewriting and rewording text, so that it adheres to the Savage Worlds’ rules. Here’s the list of stuff I didn’t get to, as I found more productive work elsewhere.

Here’s how things progressed and not progressed on the Savage Worlds Fringeworthy rules:
For last week:
- Work on more Archetypes: Completed the archetypes for all the standard races. Didn’t include an archetype for Fringeborn as they pretty much are similar to those in this book and the Savage World Deluxe book. If other races are introduced, I’ll add at least two archetypes for them.
- Flesh out Europe a bit for Alt 0,2: Didn’t get to, though I thought about it and did more research on the French Revolution and how this world’s one went in a different direction without the American revolution as an example.
- More editing: Cleaned up a few more things and grammar.
- Brainstormed FringeCorp some more: Did, and couldn’t come up with anything. I really could use some suggestions from you folks [...]
This week we finish our discussion of what it would take to bring the World of Darkness RPG into a Bureau 13 campaign.
OK, so update for this week. I’ll save the podcasts for big announcements. So progress this week:
- Consider a map for Alt 0,2:So, I considered doing a map, and decided to leave that open to the GMs to do. I’ll explain the political climate, and describe some of the background, and you can assume that what I don’t talk about is pretty much similar to our timeline.
- Finalize on what kinds of Archetypes to add to the game: Not necessarily finalize, but decided to do at least two or three novice character archetypes for each of the starti [...]

This week I talk about the recent changes made to the Savage Worlds Fringeworthy playtest rules.
- Update Campaign Types for Portal Book 4: Talked to Richard Tucholka and at this time, I’m not going to make any radical changes to the Campaign Types. Just editing for content.

- Update UNIDA description: Didn’t get it done. Too much other stuff going on.

Things to do next week:

We finish our series: adventuring during a disaster by considering what does IDET bring to the table if a global disaster hits the Earth?
Due to a computer failure I’ve not been able to record the sessions that followed this one. So I will summarize the events that followed.
The Tinkerman Transport Company (TTC) flew to Six Gun Junction, the primary city of Little Texas.
There they got in contact with Petrolux Oil Company that works the sole oil well in the Hinterlands to get some quality, high temperature oil as detailed in Tinkerman’s notebook.
They checked on the order for the finely tooled seat covers that the professor had left with Hempstead Fine Leather Goods and found it finished but warehoused, so they ordered it brought to the store for inspection.
They went to The Foundry to purchase some more weapons but found little to their liking since most weapons were designed to fit in well for the 1890’s time period that Little Texas emulates.
A surprise visit from a stranger prompt [...]
My computer crashed that had these files so I’m just now putting them out. These are the continuing adventures of the Tinkerman Transport Company, currently in Little Texas in the Hard Wired Hinterland.
