I dive on in to let you know my thoughts on the Holler: An Appalachian Apocalypse Boxed Set for the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition roleplaying game. The box contains the setting hardcover, GM screen, booklet with two additional tales, an action deck, archetype cards, and more. I’ll also point out this isn’t a standalone boxed set; you must have the Savage World Adventure Edition core rulebook in order to run Holler.

Holler An Appalachian Apocalypse for Savage Worlds Boxed Set Review

SUMMARY

Holler: An Appalachian Apocalypse for Savage Worlds Boxed Set is my favorite out of the three SWADE boxed sets I've had an opportunity to review. Not only is the box absolutely packed with goodies, the main adventure campaign is something written specifically for this release; as opposed to something which is years old being ported to Savage Worlds. If you're interested in the setting at all then this is certainly deserving of a purchase.
