Streets of Bedlam in Savage Insider

GeneralJason L Blair12 April 2012

The latest issue of Savage Insider saw release this past week and, in addition to a bunch of great Savage Worlds-related articles, I speak a bit with Vickey Beaver about the process of conceiving and designing the Streets of Bedlam game line. For a peek behind the curtain, grab your copy of Savage Insider #4 for free from DriveThruRPG. The design diary starts on page 20. Flip through the rest of the book to see the game’s first print ad as well!

Week Three Round Up!

GeneralJason L Blair24 December 2011

The third full week of Streets of Bedlam comes to a close in fine style.

Here’s what’s been going on the past week:

Kickstarter
The Kickstarter hit 200% funded this week! We’re less than $1.7k away from the $8k milestone! Hitting that unlocks a fifth standalone adventure “Eli Mendoza is a Dead Man” for the first supplement. This will change Four-Story Drop into Five-Story Drop!

Reveals
This week on the site, we looked at the REGENT archetype as well as the Kickstarter-exclusive TROUBLE. Next week, I’ll post two new Character Types/Archetypes including the Kickstarter-exclusive Archetype SAWBONES which you unlocked for all $10+ backers when the pledges hit the $5k milestone.

I also talked a bit about the game’s Interrogation rules. Next week, I’ll dive into my main cinematic contribution to the Savage Worlds system: Roles.

Interview/Press
Jodi Black from Beautiful Brains Books & Games gave me the honor of being a guest host on this past Thursday’s online chat. I talked about Streets of Bedlam, Little Fears, Kickstarter, and much more. It was great to sit down with everybody and I’d love to do it again. If you missed it, you can read the transcript when it goes live (I’ll post a link!).

The guys at the Out of Character podcast over at PulpGamer.com shined a light on the Streets of Bedlam Kickstarter. Thanks, guys!

Tyson from Apathy Games had some very nice things to say about the Streets of Bedlam Kickstarter. Thanks, Tyson!

The thread over at Pinnacle’s official SW Licensees forum is going strong. The Savage World community is a great group of folks. I encourage you to stop by and join the discussion.

Be sure to follow the official @StreetsOfBedlam Twitter account for early previews of what’s to come.

Thanks, everybody, for another great week!

Week Two Round Up!

GeneralJason L Blair17 December 2011

The second full week of Streets of Bedlam has been great. I’m running out of ways to say thank you to everybody!

Here’s what’s been going on the past week:

Kickstarter
We blew past the $5k milestone! Hitting this unlocks the Sawbones and Ingenue character types/archetypes to all backers who pledge $10 or more!

The next milestone is $8k. If we reach that, I’ll add the standalone adventure “Eli Mendoza is a Dead Man” to the first supplement, turning Four-Story Drop into Five-Story Drop!

Reveals
This week, we took a look at the SAMARITAN and the PUSHER. Next week, I’ll pull back the curtain on two new Character Types/Archetypes including a Kickstarter-exclusive Archetype for anyone who pledges $60 or more.

I also talked a bit about the game’s Investigation rules. Next week, I’ll talk about how to get what you need to know from, shall we say, stubborn individuals.

Interview/Press
RPGGeek Newscaster Josh Bazin interviewed me and posted the results over at the RPGGeek Message Boards!

The good folks at Smiling Jack’s Bar & Grill said some very nice things about Streets of Bedlam over on their podcast.

I’ve started a thread over at Pinnacle’s official SW Licensees forum. Stop on by and ask some questions!

Be sure to follow the official @StreetsOfBedlam Twitter account for early previews of what’s to come.

Thanks, everybody, for a wonderful week!

Week One Round Up!

GeneralJason L Blair09 December 2011

The first full week of promoting Streets of Bedlam has come to a close and the response has been amazing. Thank you all! Here’s a summary of what’s happened the past seven days.

Kickstarter
As of this posting, we are just three backers away from hitting ONE HUNDRED!

As I noted earlier, I have set new milestones with new rewards. Unlock new archetypes and a new episode for the upcoming first supplement.

Reveals
This past week, we met the MONSTER and the VALKYRIE. Next week, I’ll show two new Character Types/Archetypes and talk about some of the new rules options that Streets of Bedlam introduces to the Savage Worlds system.

Interview/Press
Josh and Joe from the Gamestarter podcast had me on their show to discuss Streets of Bedlam along with a lot of other great titles on Kickstarter.

I recently sat down with Matt McElroy at Flames Rising to discuss Streets of Bedlam.

Jenn from the Jennisodes has a blog post up helping spread the word about the game!

Pinnacle did me the honor of putting Streets of Bedlam on their front page!

The folks at Going Last podcast had some very nice things to say about the game!

Cain over at RPG.org nails the game’s potential on the head. “In my opinion, the setting sounds something like a Gotham City without Batman, or a place where Rorschach could have his hands full with work.”
