@pangalactic Their in-game and real-world story continues on in further supplements. Here's an update image from the just released Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion:
@pangalactic It's actually an endearing meta story being told throughout the core book, and continued in later supplements. Red and Gabe have commentary and a lot of the art features them as various heroes. That last image shows us who is playing those two characters and how they met.
@pangalactic With target number for success typically a 4, that +2 on a d12 is MUCH better than bumping to a d20. A d12+2 has a 91.67% chance of success. A d20 has an 85% chance. This helps with taking actions that have minuses (like targeting, multi-actions, distance). d12 explodes more, too
@pangalactic Putting Hindrances up front in the current edition is an intentional design choice. I get why you balked compared to other trad games, but this encourages players to think first about what makes their new character interesting and unique. Also helps with the economy of point buy.
@pangalactic SW still has Surprise. Any Surprised character does not get an action card that round (usually at the start of combat). The Drop is even more significant, it really requires an unaware and defenseless target.
@pangalactic Slight correction: Untrained is d4-2. Wild Cards still roll a d6 Wild Die in addition as another path to success, but the modifier applies too. So an Extra (no WD) needs 6 or better on that d4, so it needs to Ace and then roll at least a 2.
@pangalactic The dice Ace (explode) in Savage Worlds, so jumping from a d12 to a d20 greatly decreases the chance of an Ace on the die, whereas a bonus increases success without that effect.

@PEG_Games@RollersofRlyeh Tim Earley is so amazingly authentic, it's painful. The depth he's bringing to this setting is just a revelation. Holler is going to be a gem in the crown jewels of PEG settings. We all need a little Appalachian Apocalypse.
