I received the book for Christmas and browsed through it briefly.
It does indeed appear very general and a foundation for much more genre development. In fact, the artwork is very sketchy--almost as if to suggest it won't get "detailed" until specific application books are produced.
There are several setting suggestions that are general overviews at this point. Some of the settings recommend use of Fantasy Flight Games existing properties.
Settings (with FFG property):
- Fantasy - Runebound
- Steampunk
- Weird War - Tannhauser
- Modern Day
- Science Fiction - Android
- Space Opera - Twilight Imperium
The Runebound Fantasy sourcebook was just announced to be released in the second quarter of 2018.
I may hold off on delving further until some others are developed.
Having played a bit of their Star Wars game, I'm still trying to decide if the combat treatments are too light and abstract for my tastes.
It will definitely be interesting to see where all this goes. And I fully support more generalized systems in the market. (Come on everyone, SJ Games helped lead the way in 1986, you know it's the future, wise up and start building more core systems.)
