The Rhodes University Humanities Department

Gen Con rapidly approaches, and so we here at the Illuminerdy are at least temporarily consumed with preparing games to run at the event. As we may have previously mentioned, good one-shot games require usable characters, and it is in the spirit that we present to you the Rhodes University Humanities Department for use in any Savage Worlds Day After Ragnarok game. But most especially the Race for the Jade Scroll.
