So basically, if you already own the SavageWorlds ruleset in FG and buy SWADE in print or pdf (or heck, even just make do with the rules changes stuff PEG will make available for free), you will be able to play anything using SWADE in a similar manner as you can currently play say 50 Fathoms in FG without purchasing the FG product from the FG store. If you want the SWADE reference books in FG, then you will need to pay a small fee to acquire them. If you are an existing owner, it probably boils down to how much you use the reference material within FG during a game. I've been playing Savage Worlds on FG for a long time. I run settings all the time that don't have an official FG product available. The ruleset is far more mature now then when I first starting using it 10 years ago, but old habits die hard. I generally refer to the books offline (pdfs on my iPad these days) rather than in FG while playing or GM'ing (screen real estate is already the biggest challenge when playing in FG and I don't need to clutter it up with another window when I can easily reference the material elsewhere). I've already backed the Kickstarter for SWADE and from everything I'm hearing I wouldn't need to purchase the SWADE ruleset from FG. I will do so to support FG and Ikael because I think $10 is a small price to pay for the incredible gift they are giving us.

Thank you for this visual explanation of the SWADE, SWD and SavageWorlds! Now it is clear.
The most important question for me: What happens with the existing settings and modules? If I buy Deadlands and Beasts and Barbarians now, will I be able to use it in the SWADE, or I have to buy the SWD?The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.

The goal is for all the existing DLC to be compatible. That said, PEG has already stated they will be doing an all-new SWADE version of Deadlands. I'm not sure if the discussion has taken place yet on whether the existing setting DLC and its GM and Player Guides will be upgraded or if it will be a separate product.

Thanks for the clarifications, really great! Does not sound like a shady scheme to me

I was wondering if the new ruleset will be an expansion on what already is or will it be a new ruleset maybe built on CoreRPG?

I apologize if I'm behind the times on this as I haven't been keeping up with FG SW developments lately. Last I used it I seem to recall the Savage Worlds Enhancement Extensions provided a lot of improvements over the core files. Will the enhancement extension no longer be needed with the new SWADE rule set?

I suspect they will still be needed, the enhancements are really for GMs making modules/adventures they are not required for the Savage Worlds ruleset per-se, in fact I do not run them in my game campaign but only in campaigns I use to create modules.
Please note this is my opinion and that Ikael's decision will be "official"My players just defeated an army, had a dogfight with aliens, machine-gunned the zombies, stormed the tower, became Legendary and died heroically
Yours are still on combat round 6
