Races

By djshadowcat, in Genesys

On your marks, get set ...... GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, yes so what races are in the book or do you need to refer to the Star Wars books for the races?

Species are defined as archetypes from what I understand. Depending on the setting type, it's either archetypes of humans or the archetypes are various species.

From what I have also heard, there is a point-buy system to create your own archetypes for your setting.

If they did races for Earth-based games, people would complain. Not because of the racial connotations around trying to stat people from different countries; everyone would be a base 2 for every stat, except Australians.

We'd be a 4 in everything with rules allowing you to buy up to 6 in BRA.

Whilst this is a factually accurate representation of the real world, everyone would just play Australians and non-Australians would complain out of bitter jealousy.

yeah there is a race creation system in the book or else you could use the races in the book along with what is in Star Wars as well as they are compatible with Genesys. I do have some races I converted from Dragonstar that could be used. What I think Fantasy Flight needs to do is have sub-forums for all the ideas we all come up with and would be easier for us to find...

It's really easy to make races, I sat down about an hour ago and have made 18. It's pretty easy to get the feel of it.

Each theme (except for Modern) has a couple new races. Elves, Dwarves, Mongrels, Robots, Clones, Twilight Imperium races...

Good stuff.
