Overall a great mix of fantasy and real world military/firearms aesthetics Character Design is Great and very creative (Lobstross are my favourite) Very well written and comprehensive!

Ever found yourself thinking, "I really want to play in a slightly more modern setting, but there aren't really any that are great for the time period I want?" Ever struggled to find something that's further than muskets or the wild west, but not shot straight into sci-fi? Ever been too tired at the end of the day to bother figuring out another system that isn't Pathfinder 1E (the best edition)? Me too. Sometimes I don't want a laser fight with space robots or to run into Imperial Russian trenches following an adventure path. Sometimes you just want big boom bam pew pow. Big guns (literal and figurative) like a G.I. Joe comic.

For me, Savage Company scratches that itch. Far from a dumb exercise in skinning existing abilities and weapons with slightly different flavours, the Savage Company rulebook provides a bevy of content:

-New races from familiar (Savage Orcs) to monstrous (Lobstross) to anime enough to make that one guy still show up to the table (Kemano)

-A use for Craft (Alchemy) that turns Alchemists from potion-chuckers to mine and bomb enthusiasts that could make any guerilla fighter blush

-A bunch of grenades so you don't need a smoke lantern, wizards, or ANOTHER flask of standard Alchemist's Fire to get you through an encounter

-Big F** Guns

-Trash mechs

-Rolling road combat (for when you want to have a motorcycle death race in the desert but can't figure out how to deal with rocks on the road or incoming reenforcements)

-Very cute battle doggos, pleas pet

To round out the already heavy-metal enchantment of the crunch, there's a lot of fluff in the book as well. The special archetypes all have iconics to go with them in true Pathfinder style. There are stories for each that not only give a feel to the character, but a bit to how the archetype could be played for those who want somewhere to start. Aesthetically the art is on-point, full colour and lovingly illustrated on each of the many pages it appears on. Wondering how an anti-material rifle would look wielded by your elven ranger? There's a picture right on page 140, you don't have to imagine.

Side bonus, the text on the physical edition of the book is pretty big and that makes it super easy to read everything. Savage Company gets a 10/10 from me. The stars only go to 5 though.

In Savage Company: campaign setting you have so many options to choose that your story will never be boring or short. The cover is amazing and most pages are illustrated to perfection.
You have guidelines for races, vehicles, equipment, magic items and so much more. It is an encyclopaedia full of knowledge from Savage Company and the best ally if you are trying to develop a great story, but you don’t know where to begin or end. I wasn’t expecting to find so many mysterious and funny stories. Also, about the archetypes, the bugler bard is without a doubt my favourite of them all. I am definitely thrilled to read the other books! I recommend their book as it is inspiring and well written. You can expect thorough explanations and clear, balanced rules in Savage Company.

Savage Company has a really great showing here! A prior review described it as exactly the type of heavy-metal full-auto nonsense we need and that's pretty acuitly acurate! Unlike some other RPGs that are merely mirrors with different themes of major storylines - Savage Company brings more than enough new narratives to the table. The archetypes are really well developed - the blitzkrieg barbarian being one of my favorites is particularly funny because it's basically people most of us know.

There is a certain rhythm and beat maintained in the narrative writing that makes it engaging. You can't escape the feeling like you've fallen into a world where Halo collided with Doctor Who (just LOOK at the Lobstross!) and decided that Savage Company should sit down with Matt Smith's Doctor, John-117, and Garand Thumb and tell stories to be archived into this volume.

The 'fit and finish' of the volume is also excellent, especially considering it's a first entry for this shoppe, and I certainly look forward to a bound edition and some networking around it. Well done Savage Company!

Savage Company is bonkers, in the best way possible. SHM Publishing shows both remarkable originality and a healthy understanding of Pathfinder mechanics. The races are a mix of improved variants of existing races and new creations, one of which is absurd not-undead living skeletons. Archetypes and class features are a smash hit, with many options that would be right at home in a more traditional campaign. If you're not playing in a technological setting, though, you'd be missing out on the 40K-style chain blades and other fanciful and realistic weapons of warfare.

The breakout star, in my opinion, is the infantryman base class. Imagine a gunslinger, but with deeds and other class features meaning you actually have good reasons to take it to level 20.

All in all, twenty bucks is a steal for so much content.

This is exactly the kind of heavy metal, full-auto nonsense that makes a good game into a GREAT game!
