Mate, Genesys is fantastic and has provided us with multiple campaigns in various genres. We have played Star Trek, Wild West and of course Fantasy. The dice system inspires roleplaying and the magic system is so much fun when a player becomes creative. It truly is the game our group has moved to and now I have introduced it to my students as school where we have been playing D&D for the last 6 years. The students are very happy with Genesys!
I had heard about this system years ago but didn't have an active gaming group, and once I did, they were new and needed to build up some experience in gaming. I'm hoping to eventually get them here.
Let me start by saying I love this system. I am worried it may not be around any longer based on a post from FFG. "Last February, Fantasy Flight Games announced that they had cancelled its entire RPG line, including the Star Wars games." I hope they change their mind about this one. I had just purchased the "Keyforge: Secrets of the Crucible" and was looking forward to more splatbook releases.
Yes this has been many people's fears. However, it's a relatively old piece of news, and theyve sincereassured customers that the products would still be produced, they were simply in the process of moving their TTRPG projects over to another company. Star Wars is still cancelled I believe, because I dont think lucas arts/star wars renewed their (whatever the technical jargon is for the right to be able to produce products with the Star Wars brand on it) ... which sort of kills a system with Star Wars in it's bones and on it's dice.
Sam, who was lead at FFG Interactive, is still lead in the new studio that took over FFG's licenses. Heres a tweet where hes gives some behind the scenes on a, then, upcoming product. Keep in mind they had layoffs and started this transition *right before* Covid hit the USA, so that probably stalled things a bit. mobile.twitter.com/Sam_B_Stewart/status/1474055237057060866
I got some vague ideas about talking over other systems I've crossed paths with, and bringing in some guests to vary the cast a bit :) I also like the idea of talking about tables or chapters that don't get a lot of use or things that are good ideas, but might become tedious if actually implemented. Cause I've run into a few of those in 5e. I also look forward to answering questions like these, and system/suggestion related things, in videos if somebody has a query that sounds like a good video.
Tell them if they ever regret missing an attack because they rolled a 10 instead of a 15, in Genesys you at least get some control over the narrative still. Genesys isn't a pass/fail system where rng rolling high enough dictates you have a say in how things playout. Every roll is significant because every roll crafts a moment in a scene. a Shot from a movie. And that's what's great about Genesys.
Dude you have serious Jack Black energy and that sparks great joy.

One critique, I'm 2 minutes in and am waiting for the vid to still start

My man. This the greatest system I have ever encountered.

@@woundedwolf8515 thank you for the tweet. This makes me a little less sad.
FFG pushed their RPG stuff over to EDGE Games. The Twilight Imperium book is next, but printing is in Lithuania and has experienced issues.
Great job! I heard you say character creation for Genesys is next, what are some other topics or games you'll do in the future?

Pretty good lighting in that tunnel
This is well done! Glad I am finding this :D
Peak TTRPG?
Welp, that's a sub from me.
(Also narrative dice started in the true best system Warhammer Fantasy RPG, 3e DONT AT ME)
Cool video. I've been on the hunt for some genesys guides
for those who only know DnD5e, how do you convince them to try Genesys?

ACTUALLY "Generic System" sir.
Flip your video, all the titles are reversed on the book titles.
