Savage Worlds Science Fiction Companion (Deluxe)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

(This book is for the Savage World's Deluxe Explorer Edition, not the newer Savage Worlds Adventure Edition. It's largely compatible, but a new edition of the Science Fiction Companion will appear later, est. 2022.)

There are places far beyond the familiar bounds of Earth. Some lie twinkling in the distant starfields, waiting to be discovered by intrepid explorers or conquered by legions of space marines. Others are just around the corner in time, a near future where hovertanks race across blasted battlefields, cyberware replaces organic limbs, and robots serve humanity—or attempt to annihilate it.

The Savage Worlds Science Fiction Companion contains new races, Edges and Hindrances, Setting Rules, gear, cyberware, and numerous strange creatures from across the galaxy. It also includes detailed but simple rules for players and Game Masters to create their own robots, power armor, vehicles, starships, walkers and more to travel to the stars…and beyond!

The Science Fiction Companion requires the Savage Worlds core rules to play.

As we near the end of the November. Wondering if this year is still a real thing. If not, are we looking closer to the beginning of 2023? (for the update)

While we eagerly await the adventure addition of the sci-fi companion if I may ask a few rules question.

1. When customizing vehicles do weapons come with ammo as part of its mods cost? For instance, Heavy cannons have 30 shots at mod 4. is that 4 mods for the cannon and ammo or is it 4 mods for the cannon and 4 more mods for the 30 shots?

2. What's the intended way of getting larger vehicles planet side? Garage/Hangar have a size limit of 8 so only light and medium mechs. the superstructure can hold up to 24 combined size, but I view that as an external expansion so putting atmospheric flight on it seems odd but I might be looking at it wrong. Can you combine Garage/Hangar space on larger ships to carry heavy mechs and the the like?

The 4 mods are for the cannon and all associated "gubbins"; ammo , ammo storage, feed mechanisms, whatever. Otherwise it would be incredibly prohibitive to try to mount anything on anythng.

Nope. It's being worked on, and we hope no later than mid-2023, but we don't announce dates till we know for sure. We're just too small and too many things can happen. Cheers.

Fair enough. I understand you dont want to commit to any dates till you're sure. Was just inquiring for any news, but good to know at least it is still being worked on and not say got ditched.

Do you reckon, as of June, we're close enough that I'd be foolish to buy this and try to convert it over to SWADE...? For that matter, how well in general does it convert? If I know SWADE but haven't played Explorer Edition, will I be able to make sense of it?

I can't think of any real changes between SWADE and SWEX that would affect the SciFi Companion other than some overall tweaking of armor levels, maybe some ancestral abilities, etc.

So far, the new version isn't drastically different. We're adding lots and giving some different ways to "earn" ships, mechs, etc., but the core systems (like mods) remains the same.

And no, I'm afraid we don't have a launch date yet... still aiming for this year but definitely won't be this summer.

Cheers :)

So its not January 2024 and looking at comments and the website I dont see an adventurer's edition of this. While I do have this version and have converted it easily enough. I would prefer having all my editions be the same and not have more work for myself as GM. Any updates on when this Adv version is coming?

No, we don't do POD. Our books are full color hardbacks and the price point and quality aren't there yet. Sorry.

Any news on a SWADE version, Fantasy companion is in the works now and hasn't released yet. Now I'm thinking a SWADE version of this wont release till 2024, and that's if they start work on it right after the fantasy one releases. disappointing, especially as this page still says it will release this year.

Cool, hopefully it will still have the vehicle construction rules for tanks, aircraft, starships, and walkers. having a suggested way to craft vehicles makes fleshing out an existing or home made universe a bit easer than free handing. Can you say if it will have an early access pre-order/crowdsource-hold like the fantasy companion has.

Hello. If I buy this guy here, I'll have access to the SWADE version?
And if so, buying this book will help the development of the new version in any way?
Can I print a bought book for home use?
Dollars are so expensive in my country right now, so I need to be very cautious in my purchases.
Thank you!

Hi Heltor, *no*. This version will remain in place for SW Deluxe users. The new version for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition will be a separate release sometime late this year (fantasy is next).

You can absolutely print for home use...the notice is included on the sticky note on the first page.

is this a companion for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition? Or is this for the older rule book?

This is for the Explorer's Edition, not the newest "Adventure Edition." I'll edit the product description to make that more clear. Thanks!

I was looking for a system to use to run a table top mecha battle ( with hex terrain and such) with players making / customizing their own mechs. wanted something different than battletech type things (which is much to "crunchy" and takes hours for just a handful of mechs). did not know how much of this content would be good for that purpose.

In case you still need an answer... There is a section for building power armor & mechs. And Savage Worlds would do exactly what you need it to. Easy to learn rules & fast paced, satisfying combat.
You would also need the core Savage Worlds book. Which you can get here:

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
