And I've discovered something, and I have a question.

They tell me to go to savageworldsonline.net for Savage Worlds games. I go there, and I see three or four messages within the past month.

I see nothing else there. The blog entries are old. The module entries are old. The front page references Gen Con. The calendar discusses things that seem to not be going on anymore.

Before I run out and buy the next part of this, the ruleset, is it worth it? I mean, is Savage Worlds Online just another thing that's going to fall by the wayside?

I for one check in there often. I haven't posted much for the very reasons you've sited. I've even tried to contact some of the ongoing campaigns, with no luck.

That said it's one resource of many. The FGII guild house forums do a lot of match making and I've been able to find more than a few games there. If SG online dies or not, I think the ruleset is a no brainer. It's very nicely done and really makes FGII a fantastic SW program.

Just my 2 cents.

You've been helpful and correct up to now. Consider it purchased

The Fantasy Grounds Savage Worlds community is quite large.

Games can be found at the FG forums and Four Ugly Monsters as well as Savage Worlds Online.

I too check the SWO forums frequently, but they just don't get much traffic. The FG forum is much more active, albeit not dedicated to SW. FWIW, I'm planning to start Sundered Skies on Wed nights in a couple of weeks using FG2 (7-ish EST), so if you are interested and available on Wed nights, PM me.

[SavageIBS]

Add me to the list.

I picked up FG2 and the SW ruleset today. Of course I have no idea how to use it proficently but I'm stumbling throught it.

I'd love to get into a game that's newb friendly so let me know if there's anything I can join in on.

Friday after 7pm PST
Sunday after 7pm PST
Monday anytime PST

Thanks

So if I buy FGII (full) and the SWEX rules for it, would I need (or players need) the FGII (lite) and the SWEX rules for me to run a SW game for them?

I wasn't sure if this was the way it worked so I thought I would ask those who have used it.

[jasales]

Thank you for the info. This makes this much more doable.

Does Ruleset give "savage dices" and other useful tools? Or is it only an electronic manual like a pdf inside the software??

[River Rat]

Yes the ruleset handles exploding dice and a deck of cards. You can also set it up to handle wild dice, both for Revised and SWEE. Fantasy Grounds also handles initiative on a combat tracker that integrates with npc's and pc's.

The Fantasy Grounds description for the SWEX ruleset says you also need the main Fantasy Grounds software (duh) but it also states you need the Savage Worlds ruleset. Um...isn't that what SWEX is? Can anyone clarify?

[Murgh Bpurn]

The first Savage Worlds ruleset uses the Revised rules, DA then produced SWEX rules, these are either available as a module for use with the original ruleset or as a stand alone ruleset.
