Thanks for that insight Mook.

I actually think Genesys could be a big deal if Fantasy Flight really markets the various genres with rich and immersive content.

I played the Star Wars Edge of the Empire beginner set with my wife and thought it was sort of fun.

I always wondered though if playing long term if the abstract nature would eventually get a bit monotonous. It seems like your tactics are limited when you have three range bands and details like cover are interpretive based on special effects of extra dice.

I'd really have to experience it more to judge though.

Having heard about SJ Games struggle to come up with a formal name while GURPS was supposed to be temporary, I bet they wish they would have thought of using Genesys. I think that's pretty clever.
