Relic Worlds has two miniatures games: Expeditions and Showdown. The reason for this is because Showdown is a more popular system based on Savage Worlds, and I developed the game for them first. However, because of the nature of the relationship, I’m locked in to whatever they do with their game. Creating one of my own frees me up, and allows me to change things how I want them; thus Expeditions was born.
Showdown gets more publicity because the system is more well known, while Expeditions has the freedom to do some more creative things. Plus, players can just get everything they need in one place rather than having to jump between the Savage Worlds site and Relic Worlds.
As a result, though, when I make an expansion pack for one, I have to make it for both, so it takes a little more time. It’s one reason I haven’t done so up until now. However, later this year I will be releasing a couple expansions:
Underworld – Crime is relative in the universe of Relic Worlds; it all depends on who you pissed off. But some characters always live in the shadows, making a living outside of the local laws and serving no government.
Mercenaries – Hired guns and bounty hunters, these are the characters who work for whoever pays the most. They will include characters like Dillon, who has come up recently in the series.
