Any groups in the KC area using Genesys or Terrinoth?

I'd play a game with you if I was still back in KCMO, but I won't be going back home until my family is done with the Military life.

Have you tried asking people in the Genesys Discord? http://discord.gg/3vNJa6t It also has a Terrinoth channel. Out of the thousands of players, you might find a couple in KC.

I had to move my SW game to FG because it was getting so difficult to get everyone together. I've run a couple tiny test adventures on FG to see if the fan made ruleset worked and it does. However, I don't know of any physical groups getting together. I've asked around at a couple of the local stores and if they do have something running it's usually 5e.

If you want to run it locally, I think I can put a small group together. I would definitely be down for some Star Wars if you wanted to run that.

I actually live the in KC area. I’m thinking about doing some Genesys/Realms of Terrinoth at some of the RPGKC days or at Midwest Gamefest.

There is the Player Locator thread (that, unfortunately, isn't stickied) where you can find other gamers in a specific area.

In the old days, I would have said, "Sure! Let's get another group together." Unfortunately I am one of the culprits in making it difficult to get together in person. My kids are at the ages where they are super busy with sports and activities that keep our family constantly running. I thought I would have my nights back over the summer. Nope. My oldest has high school soccer 4 nights a week. What happened to summers off or morning practices? I guess the football team has the weight room and fields in the morning? Anyways, I'm a terrible candidate for GM'ing a group that wants to meet regularly. I might be able to run a one-shot sometime or attend as a PC to someone else's game once in a while. But until my kiddos get into college or driving themselves I'm at their beck and call. Which isn't a bad thing, it just keeps me from gaming.

Not to beat this into the ground, but being busy is why we went to Fantasy Grounds. No drive time and I don't have to set up the table or prepare to accommodate guests. A couple of my players are about 75 minutes away (opposite directions from me as I am in the middle). So if plan to meet online and something happens, no one is out their drive time or gas money. Plus when we are done, I can just jump up and run out without leaving a mess behind. So FG has done us quite well, but I do miss the getting together in person thing. Fortunately we still do some board game days/nights. But it never fails that someone ends up being a no show at the last minute. Our get together as a whole group is much better in the virtual world. Apologies for the ramble, but I figured it was worth detailing.

I would definitely be up for playing in someone's Genesys game. I've only GM'd so far, but would like to check it out from the player's point of view. The narrative possibilities never cease to amaze me.

This is me completely. My current group is Adv. D&D run by an old friend. It's just his family plus me about 30 minutes away. We get together once a month at the most. My next shot at running FFG myself is going to be completely within my household unless my friend's group gets bored of the current campaign someday and I'm called upon?

I'm KC area (depending on definition) but was reluctant to pipe up since I'm sure my ability to get to a game is going to be only a once in a while thing. The days of once a week with friends are long gone due to work (70 hours last week due to "events") and family. But, retirement is a few years away so who knows?

I am running a Modern Genesys Game every two weeks on Saturday. Was wanting to get into a Star Wars game again as this is the first time in 3 years I am not apart of one. Regardless, I love the narrative dice system and want to play it for a change lol.

Star Wars is definitely a great game. FFG really has done a good job with the system. What is your modern story line Jedifish?

I'm working on some one-shots for Necropolis 2350. The conversions are really slowing me down, but it's just barely above modern technology wise. Kind of behind in other areas. So for me, Necropolis is a mix of modern and fantasy.

The Campaign is set about 4 years from now (to allow for experimental tech etc.), and takes place in Los Angeles. The PC's work for an investigation agency that deals with the supernatural/weird and other things not of this world. Each PC has some kind of connection to the weird, via magic, abilities or future tech. They are sent out to investigate the strange, and assist those not able to deal with it.

That sounds really fun. It reminds me somewhat of one of the Omnisphere_Earths that someone here did. Lots of cool ideas. Anything with a Night Stalker, X-Files, Delta-Green vibe is always good.
