So it's WFRP 3e?

By CMtheGM, in Genesys

That's not an insult...I loved WFRP 3e.

I'm just hearing about genesys now. It sounds similar but more rules light?

The page isn't giving me enough of a run down....so tell me a bit about it?

WFRP 3e dice was ffg’s “Narrative Dice 1.0” they then evolved them into the Star Wars system which I would call “Narrative Dice 2.0”

Recently they released Legend of the 5 Rings rpg which is sort of a “Roll and Keep Narrative Dice” which is quite different.

So on the front of the ND1 and ND2 they are extremely similar, but definitely different. The Reckless/Conservative system is gone, along with the Fatigue/Delay symbols. But ND2 maintains the 3 axis system of dice symbols with basically the same effect for each; now called Success/Failure, Advantage/Threat, and Triumph/Despair.

Characteristics have changed, there’s 2 physical and 4 mental instead, the average characteristic is now 2 now as well. All the different cards are gone too, as well as the WFRP career system. Instead you have one career and a thing called a talent can be purchased to improve your character in a way similar to all the different cards from WFRP

I never played WFRP 3.0, but I believe they also tried to reduce the volume of dice you'll be rolling in one check. At least they put a hard dice cap on certain benefits.
