Savaged.us

The WebSocket version of the Shared Initiative Tracker is now live at the standard url. Using this technology instead of having the clients poll the server every second will update all viewers in apparently real-time on standard Internet connections. This also sets up the framework for a major front-end overhaul of that page coming later this yearlater this month.

I've done quite a bit of testing and it seems quite stable and snappy via remote computers, my tablet devices, and even my phone. It's a pretty incredible upgrade. But, however, with anything new there's always likely to be problems, so if you see anything strange, let us know at https://savaged.us/feedback

Edited: later this year -> later this month

Yesterday I was diagnosed as a Stage IV cancer patient at MD Anderson. Right now our plan is to fight this as I did last year, but my plan is to make everything as easy as possible for my wife at the time of my passing.

No, I am not asking for donations. We’re financially stable. This is an explanation post.

At this point I’m game to opening up the code to possible trustworthy Typescript devops who are trustworthy as well to Shane, Darrel, and the rest of the PEG crew so savaged.us will continue longer than I’ll be around whether that be 10 months or 50 years.

At this point I am juggling medical, jobs, family , savaged.us, and various other fan projects again, I’ll be delayed again on updates.

The Rust/Yew/Actix v4 rewrite is on hold, but the framework is there. My concentration right now is speeding up the current code and cleaning up the Typescript warnings.

Thank you all in advance for your patience with me.

The SWADE Fantasy Companion is now available for our WildCards and WildCard GMs to share with their players for Fast Furious Fun Fantasy Adventures!

After all the medical issues I've had this year, we've finally got the Powers, Edges, Hindrances, and Gear for the new SWADE Super Powers Companion in and working. There's a lot of moving parts on this companion, so let us know in the feedback section if you see anything we missed or may have changed since we started entry around this time last year.

Thank you all for your patience. This release is a WildCard only release, but with the Campaigns feature it'll still be relatively easy access if a GM shares their setting with players.

On February 12, 2022 the new V3 Interface will go live. No time of day yet, we'll let you know though.

Want to see how fast dedicated V3 is in action? Visit https://staging.savaged.us for the live data preview!

We're proud to announce the Version 3 Open Beta of Savaged.us.

• A fresh, new look!
• New ways to manage your saves and view all your characters!
• Wildcard GMs can create Campaigns which you can share with your players!
• Easier to navigate controls for organizing and sharing your saves!
• A snappier, lighter interface

Here's a quick video of how GM Campaigns will work in V3. Remember Campaign creation is a wildcard only function, but participants can be any savaged.us account type. We're excited to open the preview for you later this week!

In response to Pinnacle Entertainment Group's Flash Gordon Announcement, we're pleased to announce that both the Deluxe and SWADE conversion of Flash Gordon books here are available to all registered users and are no longer WildCard subscriptor only.

HAIL, FLASH!

Coming this fall - savaged.us version 3

Gone will be the days of the confusing new/load/save/share menu on the bottom right.

With this release Campaigns are coming, so GMs can share your locked Setting characters with your players!

Pathfinder for Savage Worlds now available on Savaged.us. We've been wanting to get access to this amazing product to you for weeks now. This book and setting is available to all registered users not just exclusively to our WildCard subscribers.

Our initial tests are looking great, but with any complex system, there are things we miss. If you find something wrong, place it in our feedback section and we'll get to it by the end of the week at https://savaged.us/feedback.

Thanks and Enjoy!

It'll be a few more weeks before we start work on the Pathfinder for Savage Worlds import. We're still waiting on the last few bits of errata from Pinnacle before we start data entry.

I know I promised to start work this month, but to save potential bug and data fixing later I figured it'd be best we wait until all the fixes in the beta test are done (we had heck keeping up with the Rifts and SWADE data entry).

We'll let you know when we start. We'll likely hold off on the Pathfinder for Savage Worlds Core Book until the Pathfinder for Savage Worlds Bestiary beta is released which should be a subtle nod that their awesome team has moved on from the Core book's changes.

Thanks for your patience!

Jeff's Notes (roasting on an open fire): It was brought to my attention that the title of this article originally read "Pathfinder for Savage Worlds Delayed" which if read out of context (and if someone didn't read the article) could have been interpreted that the entire Pinnacle Entertainment Group Kickstarter was delayed. This was completely unintentional and thoughtless on my part. I blame myself. All apologies.

Savaged.us is not affiliated with PEG in any way except that we're a licensed Ace. ~J @ 2021/05/28 07:40cst

Gun Metal Games' most legendary Interface Zero 3.0 support is here and is available to all WildCards immediately.

Heed our words, brave adventurers!

In May of 2021 Our WildCard subscribers will be able to create all the characters in the Pathfinder for Savage Worlds Core Book and Companion. The Bestiary will also be available as soon as it's released and a few revisions have been made on that product.

We're excited! Are you excited?

We're proud to announce Deadlands character creation support is now available to WildCard subscriptors. Mosey on over to https://peginc.com/store/deadlands-the-weird-west-core-rules/ to buy the book then head on over to the character creator and start making your Weird Western heroes!

It's been a long day! Instead of waiting for midnight for my local time (I'm exhausted!) I'm going to call it April 2nd in GMT time and confirm or deny the news posted on April 1st, 2020.

This is TRUE. We have indeed partnered with Palladium Books and officially have permission to use the Savage Rifts material in savaged.us

Now we're off huffing and puffing to make it happen for all of us by May 1st! I hope you're excited as I am!

https://savaged.us/announcements/48/announcing-rifts(r)-for-savage-worlds-support

Thank you all for playing along with my little double-psych-out today. I know we're all living in stressful times, and a little fun can go a long way.

UPDATE (April 2, 2020): Although this was meant to be a faux-April-Fool's post because the news is so incredible, this is in fact (Jack) TRUE!

Today savaged.us would like to our partnership with Palladium Books as icing on the cake with our licensing partnership with Pinnacle Entertainment Group and announce Rifts® for Savage Worlds support coming to savaged.us this month!

By May 1st you should be able to create your Savage Rifts® characters from the Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide, and the rest of the Savage Rifts® collection soon thereafter.

Access to these books will be free to all registered users - no Wildcard subscription required!

Rifts® and Megaverse® are Registered Trademarks of Palladium Books, Inc. All character names and likenesses are copyright and trademarks owned by Palladium Books, Inc. and used with permission.

#SavageWorlds #SWAG author Jan Jetmar's most excellent Wand Magic supplement is now available for all registered users at https://savaged.us

50 Fathoms is now available for SWADE for our WildCard subscribers!

I've been wanting to release this for a while, but I've been a bit worried about some quality of code issues (some of the code there isn't my best work).

I've decided to "pull the bandaid" so to speak and release the code all but the server, authentication, and billing parts of the Savaged.us for the world to see under the GPL v3. All the code currently is in Typescript and React. I've also included the public image/fonts directory as convenience under no license as some of the images and fonts there aren't owned by me. All the submodules are linked in each README, but here's the list of all the open sourced modules and projects:

• Common: https://github.com/jdgwf/savaged-us-common
• React Front End: https://github.com/jdgwf/savaged-us-react
• PDFS (React): https://github.com/jdgwf/savaged-us-pdfs
• Public facing images and content: https://github.com/jdgwf/savaged-us-public
• Web Client "Working" Project: https://github.com/jdgwf/savaged-us-client (includes submodules to above)

Also, I've started a small experimental project could bring the libraries to faster and more efficient .wasm modules in a future release (as well as being able to be compiled to machine native executables for blazingly fast processing). This project is coded in Rust and can be found at https://github.com/jdgwf/savaged-us-rust-libs

Thanks for all your support!

As of Friday, December 6 Savaged.us 2.0 has been LIVE! We're really excited about where this release will take us, but there were a few minor bugs during launch, and we're sure that there'll be more you'll find. Rest assured we're on call and working on every bug report you submit plus any that we find along the way as well.

If you do find a bug, please use our Feedback system at https://savaged.us/feedback and we'll get right on it!

As a huge thank you to everyone's patience with this upgrade we're proud to announce new save limit for all tiers of membership. Registered users may save 10 characters, vehicles, etc, while WildCards have been bumped to an amazing 150 saves!

Thanks to Pinnacle Entertainment Group's gracious announcment in their newsletter, we are live. We've been in beta-test for a couple of months now, but now the cat's out of the bag and we're officially open to the public.!

If you're new here (and you probably are), feel free to visit the Development Status page for things I'm working on or adding to the app. I'm always tinkering and adding. I've been accused of having a d10 Weird Science!.

As always, if you have any bugs or feature requests, submit them via the Feedback system, and not the Contact Form. It's easier for me to keep track of what needs to be fixed.

We're proud to announce that the Battle for Oz content has been entered for the Character Creator.

Become a WildCard to gain access to this wonderful setting!

This marks the first of many of our Ace, SWAG, and Fan partners which we'll be supporting. Thank you, Pirate Press, LLC!
