Contagion Savage Adventures

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The world of Contagion is a dark and terrifying place. On the surface it is no different than the world you and I live in. Most people go on about their lives never realizing the terrors that walk among them.

Despite humanity’s vast ignorance, the horrors are there. Angels, demons, gods and Hellspawn make war in the shadows. Clergy and Slayers rise from the human flock to protect their brethren and work God's will. Magi and Witches wield powerful magics in their pursuit of enlightenment.

There's a war in the shadows. Choose a side.

Contagion Savage Adventures brings the world of Contagion to the incredibly popular Savage Worlds Adventure Edition!

Dumb question; when you spend a Contagion point to add a d10 to a Trait roll, can the d10 ace? I assume so as that's the default in Savage Worlds, but think I have seen similar mechanics in other settings where it doesn't, so just wanted to be sure

That's an excellent question! The d10 may Ace. I'll see to it that is clarified in the next update to the text.

Do I need the core rule book to play this game? This isn't clear in the blurb.

This does require the use of Savage Worlds Adventure Edition.

Sorry, I was meaning the Contagion Core rulebook, based on 3.5 rules (its 600+ pages versus the 68 pages of the SWADE version).

Oh, not at all. This is everything you need to run the setting in Savage Worlds.

Presently, no. We had contracted a freelancer to assist in the update, and due to unforeseen circumstances that relationship has been dissolved. It is definitely on the to-do list, asap, but I do not presently have an ETA. Once I do I will post it in the comments here.

Thanks,

It is a good setting however the Contagion Points mechanic is game breaking. Having run it I found several of the playable races to be damn near unkillable. If the Contagion cost for using abilities is 5 rather than 1 it would turn a game breaker into at least a game that still has some sense of challenge and danger for the players. But as it stands, there is no challenge for players because they are never really in any danger due to the Contagion points.

Change the mechanic and you have a pretty good urban fantasy/horror setting. However as it stands it falls sadly short.

I'm currently in the process of updating the system to come in line with Adventure Edition. I will look into this issue in that process.

Yes, the amount of points you spend haven't changed much but merely adding the "divide the total by 5" for your starting points changes the game drastically for the better imo. Instead of someone looking at having 50+ points they now have 10, which makes using them much more of a gamble which I like

Your full size preview needs fixing, it makes the game look awful, quick preview looks fine, but if anyone just skimmed the full size you would lose sales. just a heads up

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure what the issue is. I've re-uploaded it, which sometimes takes time to show on the customer end. If its not fixed by this afternoon, I'll reach out to publisher services.

Thanks,

What edition of Savage Worlds was this designed for in it's current state? I have the Deluxe Explorer's Edition, so if for another version, how much work (and what kind of work) would be required to convert this to the new edition?

Contagion Savage Edition was created using the current version of Savage Worlds Deluxe, with references made to Horror Companion and Fantasy Companion in the text.

How much conversion is required to use normal Contagion: Second edition expansions and source books with this?
Reply
Customer avatar
Travis L December 20, 2016 11:26 pm UTC
PUBLISHER
Most of the Contagion Second Edition sourcebooks have a high focus on story elements, narrative and worldbuilding, with a fairly manageable amount of crunch. Gamemasters familiar with both systems should find the majortiy of the conversions relatively easy (or as easy as any d20 to SW conversion might go)

To incorporate the existing Contagion Second Edition supplements into Savage Worlds play, I would also recommend browsing the Savage Worlds Horror Companion and Savage Worlds Fantasy Companion for NPC archetypes and monsters to compare with and/or swap out as needed.

We do have plans to create a Savage Worlds expansion to cover some of the more challenging conversions (The races presented in Rise of the Ilu and K-24 will likely require a redesign from the ground up to incorporate into Savage Worlds)

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks,
Travis

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
