FREEDOM SQUADRON--the military action-adventure setting from Evil Beagle Games for the Savage Worlds rules system--returns with a new Kickstarter on October 5th! This new edition overseen by the Wine & Savages of Robin English-Bircher and Sean Tait Bircher leads off with the all-new Friends/Foes Manual and the revised Field Manual!

FREEDOM SQUADRON by Evil Beagle Games gives Savage Worlds players an exciting new world of military action-adventure based on the SpyGlass Games board game VENOM Assault and inspired by military toy and fiction franchises like “Eagle Force,” “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero,” and “Megaforce.”

In the year 2053, the United Nations-backed special missions force Freedom Squadron battles VENOM, a criminal and terrorist conspiracy dedicated to the downfall of human civilization. Engaging in military and humanitarian missions worldwide, the air, land, sea, and space forces of Freedom Squadron recruit experts from across the world and all walks of life to thwart VENOM’s tangled schemes.

The original release of FREEDOM SQUADRON incorporated several of the innovations lead developer Sean Patrick Fannon created for Rifts® for Savage Worlds. Creating heroes in FREEDOM SQUADRON begins with choosing a Vocation Framework (such as Guerilla Fighter, Ninja, or Soldier) and then rolling for additional bonuses on the Hero’s Journey tables (such as Close Quarters Combat, Intelligence, and Search & Rescue). After that, players can choose from dozens of new Edges, new equipment, and high-tech vehicles as they arm their heroes to take on VENOM!

Originally released in 2018, FREEDOM SQUADRON now returns in a fully SWADE-compatible edition coming to Kickstarter on October 5^Th from Sean Tait Bircher and Robin English-Bircher (“Dawn of the Daikaiju,” “Rippers Resurrected: Expedition Amazon,” Rifts® for Savage Worlds: Arcana & Mysticism and Blood & Banes). Central to the crowdfunding campaign is the all-new FRIENDS/FOES MANUAL, a guide to the villains and heroes of the VENOM Assault world. The FRIENDS/FOES MANUAL includes new Frameworks (including the Ex-VENOM Agent, Officer, and Soldier of Fortune) and new Edges (such as Covering Fire, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, and Kung Fu Grip), making it a must for players and Game Masters alike!

As a special add-on to the Kickstarter campaign, backers may also purchase the FREEDOM SQUADRON FIELD MANUAL! This volume combines the previously released COMMANDO’S MANUAL and PLANS & OPERATIONS MANUAL into a single, SWADE-compatible volume. The FIELD MANUAL serves as a consolidated core rulebook for FREEDOM SQUADRON, incorporating new vehicles and new characters for both Freedom Squadron and VENOM.

Stretch goals include the first three chapters of “Project: AWESOME”—a Plot Point Campaign introducing wilder and weirder ideas to the FREEDOM SQUADRON universe—as well as VTT tokens, a custom Action deck, and more! Backer tiers include the chance to create new characters to fill the ranks of Freedom Squadron!
