Not sure if anyone has run this or some permutation of it: www.savageheroes.com/conversions/SWAVPv1.3.pdfBut as my Pathfinder campaign rolls into the Christmas season or as I like to lovingly refer to it as "scheduling conflict month" the answer to our varying attendance levels will be to run a series of savage worlds one shots the first of which will be "Not to study, not to bring back." A rehash of my personal favorite Aliens movie (because it was just so goofy...) Alien 4 Resurrection. Aliens with both male and female genitalia will make an appearance! Joss Wheadon wrote that epic space master piece by the way...although he wanted it to end with an earth war. Maybe part 2? The PCs will be a group of colonial space marines sent in to recover whatever samples or data they can from a military station that lost contact a few weeks prior. If this weren't an online game using Fantasy Grounds I'd probably be using some plastic test tubes filled with unknown failed cloning experiments for bennies...(which I have :-D). www.barproducts.com/index.php?link=Trays_zg_Fun_Drinkware.php~item_Test_Tube_Shooters_TTAs this will be my first SW game any tips you all can provide would be greatly appreciated! Edit: Then I just realized that my inspiration for this came from someone's game for orccon 2013 that I read on this forum...40 draws closer and the senior moments become exponential. Cheers.

Sound effects from the movies would be cool for an online game

I played in a short-lived play by post game with that conversion. It was going well. The conversion seemed to work fine.
I had a sniper/point character with quick and alertness. (The GM let us start at seasoned, so my shooting was pretty boss as well.) I would probably also give your PCs a rank boost, just because you aren't going to send the newbie recruits off on a mission like this.
