[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 9282060, member: 984"] With the announcement of the revised Star Trek Adventures, it would be a perfect time to grade the 2d20 system – [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/grade-the-modiphius-2d20-system.699862/post-9130300']but we’ve already done that[/URL]. :) And so, instead, let’s go to a different galaxy, perhaps one far far away… Have you played or run the Genesys system? Taking ideas begun with their Warhammer 3e game, FFG developed things further and used the ruleset in their Star Wars line of games. It was then released as a standalone generic RPG (where the Genesys name was introduced) for use in many genres. To that end, several campaign worlds were released for use with it. The most notable aspect of the Genesys system is its use of custom dice with various icons on them to generate results on two separate axes at once: Success/Failure, and Advantage/Disadvantage. For the latter, sometimes the result is used as a metacurrency, while other times it is used more narratively to provide a twist or a boon to the characters. As noted in the previous “Grade…” threads, “the D20 System is the undeniable favorite for tabletop RPGs today, but there are plenty of options out there for those who don't like D20 or might be looking for something different. The goal in these little surveys is to highlight the different systems and options available to tabletop fans...not bash on anyone's favorites.” So! If you’ve played Genesys, I’d like to hear about your experiences. What do/did you like or dislike about it? If you haven’t played, was there something that dissuaded you from giving it a try? And as before, just for fun I’ll take the responses to give the system a “grade.” :) Grade: B- Of those who voted, 92% have heard of it and two thirds (66%) have played it. Of those who have played it: 30% love it, 15% like it, 45% are lukewarm, 8% dislike it, and 3% hate it.
