See my reasons in my latest blog post: http://www.webjam.com/the_black_orifice/bens_blog/$bens_blog/2010/06/05/viva_las_orifice_or_why_were_no_longer_savage_4jnikyQb0w.

ShaodwFlux is a game of horror that has its origins in the first game Nigel and I wrote together - which was a Vampire LARP with an alternative background to keep things mysterious for players who knew the WoD inside out and back to front. It still feels a little "white-wolfy" but then there's nothing that I can think of of that ilk for Savage Worlds, so maybe it fills a gap...
Anyway its free, so go for your life...

I've just posted the freebie setting EXTREME, which captures the feel of 80s and 90s hollywood action movies for savage worlds.
