Gaming report has a press release detailing an online community to support the play of Savage Worlds (http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=25135) through the online tabletop platform Fantasy Grounds.
Fantasy Grounds is a pay program, as opposed to programs like OpenRPG. The advantage is there are several support packages specifically for SW produced under license by the fantasy grounds people.
The question, of course, is whether Savage Worlds is big enough for this to be a huge advantage for the FG people. They recently got an Origins nomination for their Robert E. Howard sourcebook The Savage World of Solomon Kane, the forward to which has some of the best explanations of Howard's thought processes I've ever seen. And this isn't exactly going to be an MMORPG on the scale of a Champions Online.
