[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9282183, member: 907"] Eh, I'd argue that Warhammer 3e is a predecessor to Genesys, but isn't actually Genesys. Sort of how you can see that the Troubleshooters is descended from BRP, but different enough to be called its own thing. They both use wonky dice, but they are [B]different[/B] dice, and the dice work differently. For one thing, skills in Genesys start by replacing ability dice with proficiency dice (so if you have Agility 3 and Light Ranged 1, you will roll 2 ability dice and 1 proficiency die), wheras skills in WH3 just add proficiency dice. Also, Genesys has no equivalent of the stance dice. Star Wars and Genesys, on the other hand, have a much more direct relationship – Genesys is basically Star Wars made generic.
