Shane Hensley50 Fathoms (Savage Worlds, S2P10015)

As mentioned in the title, I have not played this setting yet, but I am a big fan of Savage Worlds. This setting as mentioned by other reviewers is a little like Pirates of the Carribean and Water World, but the reference that seemed most prominent to me is the cartoon from the early 90's, the Pirates of Dark Water. This setting is a near-Earth flooded world with a mix of unusual races mostly based off of sea creatures of Earth. There are fish-men, sea lion-men, and a handful of others all waiting to be used by players. The plot is fairly open, so players can wander around the world making a living through trading, pirating, or searching for buried treasure all on the way to saving the world.A good setting in my opinion is one that makes players and GMs think of character possibilities and adventure ideas upon reading it. This setting delivers that in spades. I have 6 or 7 character ideas I'm in the middle of building, and I'm scrambling to gather a group to run through the adventure. If you are looking for a creative swashbuckling setting for your gaming group, look no further, you've found it.

This setting is an awesome fantasy pirate setting for Savage Worlds. It doesn't have your usual fantasy races, instead, it has 9 playable races, most of which are aquatic or just unique to this setting. The magic here is elemental, there are some new monsters and the Plot Point Campaign is epic. It has a lot of Savage Tales too, so you have many options to run a game with just the pre-written stories.

Simply the best. Used it to run a game in 7th sea setting after that system didnt gell with my group. Kind of wish we had just played it straight though, its a cool setting.

Great revision & update of a classic Savage worlds campaign. Note that this book also includes the material from the 50 Fathoms companion, so not only is it an update, but you get two books for the price of one. The material from both books were combined into the proper entries for each location, so being properly sorted, and organized, your job as a DM is much easier. Great value.

Great setting, really enjoy the plot point campaign. Note - the "perfect" binding is not the most durable, this will likely need to be re-bound (probably into a 3-ring binder) at some point before we're done with the campaign.

So much fun. It pulls from some of my favorite childhood memories. Pirates of dark water for example.

It got a little worped in the mail but still a great addiction

Best Savage Worlds supplement I've come across. Immersive setting, all new races, weapons, armor, story lines, and plenty of great monsters.

One of the first campaigns I ever played, and how my partner and I got to know each other, so it's always going to have a very special place in my heart. Also the only game I've ever found that lets you play as any kind of octopus person, which is a great shame as octopi are lovely.Lots of fun! Magic, pirates, fish people, and I think it'd be easy to adjust story elements to suit a variety of audiences (though I feel the campaign as written in the book is best geared towards late teen or adult players looking for a good adventure story that is predominantly lighthearted in tone.)

An excellent easy quick system and great world book full of atmosphere and intrigue
