It’s been a bumper year for RPGs, so Fantasy Flight has decided to get in on the roleplaying action with a brand new title called Genesys. No, not that Genesis.
Genesys is billed as a setting-neutral RPG reminiscent of Steve Jackson’s flexible GURPS (Generic Universal RolePlaying System), meaning it can be used with any world or genre you can think up – the core rulebook includes rules and advice for running fantasy, steampunk, ‘weird war’, modern-day and sci-fi games as a start.
In a similar manner, player characters can be used in any setting, and are created from four archetypes and a career – which can be settingspecific or more generalised – as well as a series of skills and talents.
