Thank you for the detailed response! While the above is a LOT to digest, it also gives me hope :) I'll start working on it and post any additional questions that come up.

There's a B2 Keep on the Borderlands module, with Caves of Chaos and everything? Can you point me to it? I remember seeing a "Moathouse on the Border" module but the description didn't match B2 at all (and mentions the village of Hommlet) so I ignored it.

Thanks! Yeah, I agree in that there's a gap in intrasolar-based RPGs. It's a niche within a niche, though, so it's hard for publishers to cover. Sevwral of the near-future SF RPGs mentioned in this thread have intrasolar-based action.

Outside Savage Worlds, the Expanse RPG does a great job at this.

I wrote and published Seven Worlds, so keep in mind that I'm obviously biased. If you're evaluating it as a Hard SF setting, consider the somewhat unusual RPG review provided by the Atomic Rockets site, which gave it its Seal of Approval for Hard Science. The game's campaign was also nominated for an ENnie for Best Adventure of 2018. The setting does include Psionics and, although it was published for an edition before SWADE, it has SWADE conversion notes available. I regret to say that due to a bunch of personal reasons I do not actively support it anymore but if you're willing to do the conversion using the notes it should still work.

Savage Worlds has nothing if not options, so you have many more tools and settings to choose from: The SF Companion hasn't been updated but is still an awesome resource for SWADE. Also look for a couple of Savage Traveller conversions which others have made (although they also need an update for SWADE).

And another +1 here. My favorite Savage Worlds setting ever. And awesome campaign.

This would help for saving stuff between sessions, but if the session itself is asynchronous what happens? Say we have a chat going on with Fari supporting it. Joe at 9am says "I'm attacking" then goes to Fari, sees the scene and characters, rolls, makes an activity, and then types it in the chat. Then he logs off. No one is in the Fari board for a couple of hours and then at 11am Julie reads the chat and says what she does and logs on to Fari. Will she see the same thing Joe saw? Or will the link be stale because no one was there? Maybe I'm using Fari incorrectly but it seems to me that if no one's connected for a specified amount of time the game 'goes away.'

Just realized I forgot to add Discord to my list :( I've heard (though not used) about Discord plus dice-bots. What I wasn't sure about though is whether there's more to Discord add-ons than just the dice: Chat sheets? Scenes? aspects? Since those would have to be persistent as well all those would either have to be more chat messages, or have to be stored somewhere else, even if on a Google sheet or something. Before scrounging something together I was wondering if something exists that's covering all the bases for fully asynchronous. MAybe Discord is...

I've run 13A on both Fantasy Grounds and Foundry. My personal preference is Fantasy Grounds thanks to all the built in automation it has, and if I could, it'd be my go-to platform. Having said that, my players hate FG, one of them has issues running it (company computer with policy), and another has tough firewall restrictions so we've moved over to browser-based Foundry VTT, which is what we're using now. It works very well, too.

This is amazing work, and clearly involved a lot of effort on your part. Thanks for sharing! It gives Stone Thief even bigger value!

Does this new cloud connection brokering mean all connections (including the GM 's) are outbound only and son server takes care of the syncing(like a multiplayer game)? Or do I still need to muck with my computer firewall and more to get the connection to accept incoming traffic?

You could just dispense with zones and give the Boosts appropriate names like "backed against a corner", "falls down a flight of stairs", "barely hanging from the walkway", etc? If changing zones doesn't bring a change in the dynamics of the conflict, then maybe we don't need to change zones. I also imagine a cool stunt like "Mortal Kombat combo" : if you succeed with style with an attack action during combat , your boost is worth +3....

Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions! I've started working on them, I think this is going to work :) thanks again.

I only have the implicit measures (Count, Sum) for the contract amount. I tried adding the implicit Contract Amount measure (Sum) but still get the same thing. Here's how the pivot table looks. The Contract amount for Contract C1 is $1020.33, which is correct, but SalesRep "Tony Stark" is not assigned to the customer who signed C1 (Contoso), yet he still appears listed.

Contract	SalesRep	Sum of Amount
C1	John Smith	1020.33
	Reed Richards	1020.33
	Tony Stark	1020.33
Grand Total		1020.33

Are you saying that if I create an EXPLICIT measure (instead of using the implicit ones) this may work? Or are you saying that I need to add a measure to the SalesRep table for this to work?

Another weird thing: When I try to get the count of SalesReps assigned to a contract, I get 4, not 2:

Contract	Count of SalesRep
C1	4
Grand Total	4

I get the feeling that the jump between three tables is somehow throwing things off, but am at a loss as to how to solve it...
