A Letter From Space (1889, that is)

Check out this missive from our glorious new colonies on Mars, courtesy of Matthew Cutter, from the upcoming Savage Worlds version of Frank Chadwick's Space 1889. And while we're at it, check out some of the art by Richard Clark. We won't have Space 1889 by GenCon as we had first hoped, but we should see it in your hands by the end of the year.

Inbox, tackle relevant and interesting topics in our "Big Deal" segment, and help you decide where to spend your gaming dollar with our "Buy, Try, or Deny" reviews.

From Cody: "I just thought I'd drop y'all a line and let you know that we recently did a review of the Savage Worlds system (and more specifically, the Deadlands: Reloaded setting) which also includes an actual play wrap-up recording where we interviewed the four players who played our review session whose experience ranged from first-time RPGer to experienced veteran. You'll be happy to know that they all had a great time, and John and I both gave the game an enthusiastic "buy!" (our highest rating).

Check out the episode (#16 - The Collector's Edition) at gameonpodcast.com - the SW/Deadlands review starts around the 38:00 minute mark."
