Congrats on the fine work!
The Adventure Generator implementation is probably the finest I've seen yet! Far as I'm concerned the author of every other Savage Worlds setting extension should be forcibly dragged back to their computer and re-work their Adventure Generator to work this way. Yes, I'm specifically looking at Interface Zero which doesn't use any of Fantasy Grounds' automation. At all.
About my only complaint with the Adventure Generator, and it's actually more leveled at how FG currently works than this extension, is that when you have all the output go to the a Story page, the specific table title is not printed. That would mean the author would have to write "Location:" (for example) as the first word of every single result in the Location table which is ugly and unwieldy. So the user still has to compare each result to see which result belongs to which table in order. If it were possible to have FG print the table name then result, that would be awesome for us lazy types! lol
If I'm disappointed with anything, it's that there's no custom theme for the desktop frame and the buttons. It's easy to get spoiled when 50 Fathoms, Interface Zero, Deadlands and others totally theme out the extension to match the game and I was kinda hoping for some angsty "40K meets Cthulhu in space" art (that's what Nemezis reminds me of anyway LOL). Perhaps in a future update???
Typos: Only have 2 so far. The first one is the more serious. Under Library -> Data Module Activation I have Nemezis GM Guide and Nemezis Player Guide. However once they are activated, they both read Nemezis Player Guide in the left column of the Library frame. Second one, under the "History" story page (I can't be certain which book because of the first typo but I suspect it actually is the Player's Guide because the character creation info is there) reads "There is a grain of truth in every story. Te stories about a dark star, a strange companion of Earth’s Sun had been told since the dawn of civilization." Obviously, "Te" should be "The."
