🤔 Am i wrong here? Did Fantasy Flight Games literally make 1 small adventure for each of its Genesys settings?
1st the system uses "weird" dice (a harder sell)
2nd they release an anemic core book.
3rd they release what's essentially the 2nd half of that book 2 YEARS LATER.
Then they foist content creation off onto the community?!
W.T.F. ?!
No wonder the system didn't get popular.
@masukomi Whatever plans they had were cut off when they were acquired by Asmodee. Otherwise, we'd probably have Twilight Imperium and Tannhäuser books by now. I also think Genesys was a combination labor-of-love / hedgeing of bets against losing the Star Wars license at some point. I doubt it ever made a profit
@masukomi I still dig it though
@restlesshead re Terrinoth, (which I never heard of prior to Genesys): seems like it was board game, then books, then setting? Is that right?
Re “shadow of the beanstalk “ name just because it doesn’t sound very cyberpunk or…?
@masukomi and yeah, calling it just "Android" would have worked a lot better, I think
@restlesshead thanks for taking the time to drop some learning on me 😀
@masukomi Terrinoth is the FFG setting for their boardgames Descent. Battle lore, Rune Wars, etc. It's so generic I'm not sure the players of those games even think of the world the way D&D players think of Forgotten Realms, for example
