Just for giggles, in my free time I've started working on a datafile for Slipstream. Unfortunately, there are a couple of items in there that will require the changes I'm making for Savage Worlds Deluxe and the Fantasy Companion before I can finish it. So, I'll get it done but I can't finish it until the other major changes are released.

Wow! I would love a copy as soon as you have something available! Currently running the Slipstream Plot Point campaign.
I PM'd you my email. I'll gladly playtest it for you. |

Is it the Race Creation rules you are not able to implement till your Deluxe file is done? Were you able to add the core races in? (This was something I was not able to do when I messed with doing it myself.)
Were you able to add in the Free Edge you can take if you make a "Heroic" character? I was not able to add this feature on my own either. |

That's part of it. The same Race Creation rules are in the Fantasy Companion and Savage Worlds Deluxe.
Are you referring to the Free Edge that humans get? |

No, in Slipstream you can get an extra bonus Edge (without rank limits) if you take the Heroic hindrance for "free" (basically above and beyond your other 2 minor, 1 major hindrances.)

I hadn't caught that. That will take some gymnastics. Since you can take Heroic normally, this would be a separate Hindrance. Bootstrapping the original Heroic Hindrance is easy. Bootstrapping the free Edge is do-able, and you can kill the prereq check in that bootstrap, although it will stop all prereq checks, not just the Rank requirements, and it won't prevent taking a Legendary Edge. The interesting part is not counting it as a Hindrance towards the 4 points. Let me take a look at it and see what I can come up with.

Making it a new Hindrance would work fine, because in a way that's sort of the way its treated in the book. It's the Heroism Rule, so you could simply call the new Hindrance "Heroism." |

Did you ever get a Slipstream file completed?

I can't complete Slipstream until we get the changes made for Savage Worlds deluxe. That will also include changes for the Fantasy Companion and the Super Powers Companion. It'll be a month or two yet.

Any updates?
As I own both Slipstream and the two companions I'm very interested in these updates. Got my kids pressing me for when we can start their new "Supers" game using the companion. |
