After learning some of the basics of the Savage Worlds system and the Solomon Kane setting, Mike decided he didn’t like his character, Jack Quick. Don’t let the similarities in the name fool you: Jack Bishop differs markedly from the old character. Bishop worked for Sir Francis Walsingham hunting witches and sorcerers. Mike first described him as “the Jacobean Solid Snake,” and I immediately thought of Sir Nicholas Fury in Marvel 1602.

We also got the character portraits I order from Storn Cook

Which meant rebooting the game once again. Our first session ended up rather lackluster, so I retconned the chapter I recorded here, and after making the new characters, we tried to start again, but that didn’t take. So, finding some new and interesting way to catch up the story seemed like an impossible task.

I feel pretty good about how it turned out, though. A little playing with the timeline, a little in media res storytelling, and a healthy dose of action gave us a truly kick ass session. I’ll post the narrative either tonight or tomorrow, and I look forward to playing session #2 on Saturday, when we’ll continue with the timeline craziness. But to spoil you, we’ve already killed off Solomon Kane again, and this time we’ll go back to Torkertown and introduce N’Longa!

So, for those following along, scratch everything you’ve read so far, it all starts from scratch!
