Thinking of getting FG.

[Exadus]

Hello there, FG community. I'm thinking of getting FG II, but I have a few questions.

1) How strong is the european timezone presence on FG? How hard it would be for someone to find a game around GMT+2 (Give or take two or three hours)?

2) How many systems does FG support?

3) What's this 'Savage Worlds' I'm hearing about? Is it somekind of FG-exclusive ruleset?

1) There are a fair amount of European Players but the best answer is to take a look at the games offered on the Guild message board and make your own judgment. Note - when you can actually play matters too.

2) FG itself is a virtual tabletop. With the free generic ruleset Toadwart made it can really support just about any RPG. That said, the more complicated an RPG, the more it will benefit from a game specific ruleset (not just complicated rules wise but also dice mechanic wise too).

3) Savage Worlds is an RPG developed by Pinnacle - https://www.peginc.com/ You can find the free drive through rules here: https://www.peginc.com/Downloads/SWEX/TD06.pdf
I would say it is the most popular RPG around here after all the versions of D&D. Another company, Digital Adventures has made a ruleset specifically for Savage Worlds and converted many Savage World settings for use with FG.

Sorry, Exadus, how rude of me not to say 'welcome to the forums'!

Please feel free to ask whatever questions and I hope you enjoy being part of the community (rude dwarves notwithstanding).
