Let’s get back to the future that never was with Street Wolves! A group of vigilantes are fighting evil forces in an alternate version of the 1980s, full of synthwave music, VR hacking, cool sports cars and a mysterious vapor, bathing the cities in glowing neon light at night. We open ourselves a bottle of blended scotch and check out what’s in the book.
Espionage action in the 1930s in a world with crazy inventions, mad supervillains and supernatural phenomena – this is what The Secret Files of Section D are about. We pour ourselves something tasty and take you on a tour through this exciting setting for Savage Worlds.

After the invasion of the earth and the terrible wars that followed, the planet has been rather changed – as has mankind, being nearly annihilated by the alien attackers. But the time of doom is over: Now it’s time to reclaim the earth, rebuild society and explore strange phenomena the unfriendly visitors left us with. With a tasty Whisky in our glass, we’ll take you on a tour.

In our recording, I mistakenly used the term “Handicaps” for Hindrances, which is what they’re called in the German translation of SWADE. I mix those up all the time because it’s English as well… Sorry for that!
