I was looking at the FCII site today. It looks really good. But I use Savage Worlds. I see the core book is coded up, but what about all the different settings? The fun of SW is it can run a variety of things. Each setting has some modest tweeks, a few Edges, etc. I do not know how easy it is to add stuff, but you then get diverted to coding and not gaming.I have been playing with the SW framework in Maptools. It does about what I want - it tracks initiative (cards) and had the common conditions of the system. Anything more is too much - its up to the players to track their character <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.I liked the post about where do you put your value. If you are looking for the battlemat, then Maptools is hard to beat. FC looks like a very cool environment. I was looking at the iTabtop - real nice environment but I am not sure the mapping tools behind it (you can sign up for free, but you cannot loadup/make maps so its hard for me to judge if the money is worth it).</blockquote>
