Hello all,
I'm new to using FG (just bought it yesterday) but I've been trolling the forums on and off for years. I'm thinking of running a deadlands game for some friends that are across the country from me but I have a few questions before I put more money into it. Sorry if these questions are answered elsewhere or seem like common knowledge:
As the DM, I need a full license of FG (which I have) and...the Deadlands Players AND Marshall guides, correct?
For my players - do they need to own their own copy of the players guide?
If they do not need their own copy of the players guide - I assume they will be able to make characters once they connect to my session, is that true?
When buying the FG addons (such as the deadlands books) will I as the GM, be able to read through the "books" or are they more like backend mechanics for FG rather than actual books?
And finally - I own the PDF printing of the Savage Worlds Core Rules from a few years ago. Now I see talk about a SWEX (explorers?). Do I need the explorers guide (in real life, not as a FG module) to be up to date with the Savage World version I got with FG?
Thanks all.
Regards,
--Eryk
