From the Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. Press Release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
$9.99 Savage Worlds: Explorers Edition Printed!!!
Pinnacle actively pursues new Savage Worlds players with new full color softback edition of the core rules.
(June 21, 2007) – Today Pinnacle launches the campaign for its new, $9.99 (USD), full color softback edition of the award-winning roleplaying rules set Savage Worlds™, the Savage Worlds: Explorer Edition. For the first time in the game industry players will be able to own a full and complete copy of a major roleplaying game in stunning full color for under ten dollars.
“We’re ecstatic! With the success of Pirates of the Spanish Main™ and the upcoming Savage World of Solomon Kane™, it felt like a great time to really make a statement about our faith in the entire Savage Worlds line,” says Simon Lucas, President of Pinnacle Entertainment. “Not only is this a chance for existing fans to get their hands on extra copies for their gaming group, this is a chance for them to spread the word to others who haven’t quite become “savages” yet. Now everyone can own a copy of Savage Worlds for less than the price of a pizza on game night!”
The Savage Worlds: Explorer Edition is a 6.5”x9”, 160-page, full-color soft-bound edition that will retail for just $9.99 (USD) and ships this August. It features the latest rule updates as well, including those made in the Pinnacle hits Deadlands: Reloaded™ as well as the licensed products Pirates of the Spanish Main and upcoming Savage World of Solomon Kane.
Beautiful full-color art from current and upcoming Savage Worlds settings as well as all new pieces grace the 160 pages of Origins Award-winning text. The Savage Worlds: Explorer Edition contains everything a player or Game Master needs to run a Savage Worlds session including: full rules for character creation, combat, monsters, world building tips, and an all new swashbuckling Savage Tale penned by Savage Worlds and Deadlands creator Shane Hensley.
