What’s Going on with Misfit Studios
Well, we’ve reached the last newsletter of 2021. I’ve almost finished the (massive) Darwin’s World appendix, which is full of a lot of tables for scavenging. This means the Nuclear Edition is that much closer to being finished.
November saw the usual multitude of stock art releases, but we also started a new line of Old West archetypes for the Savage Worlds RPG to test new water. The Super-Powered: Organizations book was also updated and released in PDF and print for SWADE.
Misfit Studios’ New Releases
Here is what Misfit Studios released in November of 2021.
Sade Presents: Dystopian Gunman
This stock art image by Sade depicts a masked, Dystopian Gunman armed with an automatic rifle and a backpack full of who-knows-what posed in front of a wall covered in graffiti. Who is this man and what cause does he stand for?
This color purchase includes one JPG and a TIFF version, both at 300 dpi. Also presented are versions wherein the character is in color but the background is in greyscale. Dimensions are 8.5 x 11 inches.
All art files are bundled in a ZIP file.
Super-Powered: Organizations (SWADE)
Updated for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition (SWADE)!
This updated and revised installment of our Super-Powered series for Savage Worlds provides rules for designing Organizations following a format very similar to creating characters. Organizations are quick to build and easy to use in your games in a way that makes sense.
Within Super-Powered: Organizations, you will find a step-by-step process for building organizations. Each organization has attributes, skills, Hindrances, and Edges, just like characters using the SWADE rules. However, details like the amount of people in the organization are purposefully kept abstract so you can scale encounters to your group of heroes, no matter how big or small.
Organizations designed with these updated rules provide enough substance to get a solid idea of what the group does, what it is capable of, and what its strengths and weaknesses are. However, they remain sufficiently detail-lite to remain adaptable and not slow down gameplay.
This product includes organization game stats for three previously published organizations, found in other Misfit Studios products: A.E.G.I.S., International CrimePrev Technologies, and Operation: Marshal Law.
Although intended for use in super-hero genre games using the Super Powers Companion (SWADE), Super-Powered: Organizations enables you to build organizations for any genre. Create a brotherhood of space pirates for your science fiction game, for example, or a secret order of assassins for your fantasy game.
