Benny-aware prep
Three scene beats, one Dramatic Task option, and a Bennie budget reminder—sized for a single pulpy night.
Savage Worlds pit crew
Bennies, Edges, and exploding dice—notes for pulpy toolkit nights
Savage Crate is for GMs and players who bounce genres without changing engines: how to spend Bennies well, when to call a Dramatic Task, and how to keep Wild Cards feeling heroic without drowning in bookkeeping. Orientation only—we do not invent SKUs or price lists.
Start with Getting Started, skim the Guides hub, or browse Resources when you need outbound references like Savage Worlds on Wikipedia.
What this desk is for
Savage nights stall when Bennies sit unused, Edges fight the fiction, or every scene becomes a full combat map. We write short, bouncy procedures for those problems.
Prefer publisher pages when you need a public cite. Start with Savage Worlds on Wikipedia and Pinnacle Entertainment Group; the SWADE product hub is navigational, not a shopping list from us.
If a Setting Rule slows the pulp without adding swing, turn it off for the night. Fairness and momentum beat sacred optional dials.
Guides, Glossary, and Resources go deeper. Sibling desks cover fantasy editions and other toolkits when your table blends shelves.
How we write
Date your Setting Rule choices and interlude notes. A guest GM should inherit the dials, not guess the tone.
Catalog reading such as the Pinnacle blog shows publisher trends—they are not table law. Email info@savagecrate.com; see Contact and About.
