BoardGameGeek Con was cancelled and moved online this year, for obvious reasons. It is November 18 thru 22. I, along with several others, will be running sessions for Edge Studio for Genesys (Android and KeyForge), Midnight (5e version), and Legend of the Five Rings. Edge took over these RPGs from Fantasy Flight Games earlier this year. I will be running Genesys Keyforge The Maw of Abraxas on Saturday and Sunday. BGG@Home information is here. The schedule of events is here.

Genesys Initiative Tabs Updated with KeyForge
My Genesys Initiative Tabs on Genesys Foundry now includes Keyforge: Secrets of the Cruicible themed tabs and accessories. Previous purchasers may download updated files from their accounts on DriveThruRPG. This product achieved Silver best seller status relatively recently. Thanks to those who picked it up already. For anyone interested in doing so, you can find it here.
Images of the new pages are below. The updated file also includes a few formatting corrections to the form fields, and switched the italicized Android status tabs to vertical to avoid an annoying PDF printing bug affecting some PDF software and printer combinations…like mine.
Star Wars Wednesday - Catching Up, Sort of.
I have been long remiss in updating this blog. The days really run together. Like many, I’ve been working from home for an extended period of time, not that that seems to help in this instance. I didn’t even note the various Genesys RPG and related Gen Con news, of which there was some. I’ll blame part of it on often running an online game session on Wednesday nights, but that’s not really an excuse either. So, on with it.
Read MoreKeyForge Secrets of the Crucible Released
KeyForge Secrets of the Crucible for the Genesys RPG is now available in stores and at DriveThruRPG. I a lot of fun working on this weird, entertaining book. More on that later.
In the center of the universe hangs the Crucible, a gigantic artificial world created by the enigmatic Architects and home to countless beings and cultures. Here, impossibly advanced technologies mix with arcane powers to make for a setting unlike any other!

Star Wars Wednesday - A New Hope...for the RPG
At my rate of posting this year, I ought to change the name of this series to Star Wars Monthly….but I won’t. It has gone on too long and maybe I’ll get back to a more regular schedule. At least there is some positive news on the Star Wars RPG / Genesys RPG front. The games will continue to be printed and produced, by a division of Asmodee, but not by Fantasy Flight Games.
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - This is 2020
It has been an embarrassing amount of time since I last wrote a Star Wars Wednesday post. this is especially true given the huge amount of new Star Wars movies, TV shows, and other stories released in the last few months. I’ve kept up reasonably well, though there is still a stack of comics I need to work through. Marvel has been hugely prolific with the number of titles and short series lately. More on many of those things in the upcoming months, hopefully. it shouldn’t be too hard for me to pick up the pace this year, compared to the dismal number late last year.
Read MoreKeyForge Setting Preview Now Available
Today, Fantasy Flight Games released the first preview for the upcoming KeyForge Secrets of the Crucible science fantasy setting for the Genesys RPG. Based on the popular KeyForge card game (also by FFG), the book brings roleplaying to the weird and crazy mashed up genre setting. I worked on it, but as usual, more on that later. It is due for release sometime in the second quarter of this year.
Genesys RPG Gen Con Announcements
Fantasy Flight Games made a number of Genesys roleplaying game announcements at the FFG Inflight report on Wednesday night at Gen Con 2019, most of which I have had some involvement with.
