Craft Your Faction In The Genesys Project On Kickstarter This Week

July 10, 2019 by brennon

Gary Krieger (aka Natfka) from Faeit212 is going to be bringing a new game to Kickstarter this week on July 12th. The Genesys Project is looking to create a sandbox-style wargame which allows you to mix, match and craft your own factions for use on the tabletop.

This game has been in the works for the last six years with Gary developing a unit-based skirmish wargame which is focused on creating armies that you want to use.

Craft Your Own Faction

This unique aspect of the game has players picking one of the five Domains Of Life (Humanoids, They Fey, Biests, Insekts or Reptilia) and then building on that as you craft their stat lines, traits and more. You will then be able to tweak their special abilities and more in order to create the force that you've always wanted to use on the tabletop.

The idea came about after seeing other games out there where you were shoehorning armies into a setting. Instead of having armies which didn't make much sense within the narrative, Genesys aims to allow you to use any miniatures you like and craft rules and narrative around them to make it work for you.

Three Ages

Genesys will span across three different ages with the first being focused on Medieval Fantasy. The second will look to Modern/Near-Future and Post-Apocalyptic settings whilst the third will head into the far future and explore High Sci-Fi.

Your games should take about one and a half to two and a half hours to play with between thirty and fifty models per side, so it's good for an evening of gaming at the local club.

The Kickstarter

The Kickstarter is going to be focused on bringing the Core Rules and The Birth Of Genesys - The 1st Age book to life and will be created in partnership with Dave Taylor who has done some sterling work in the fundraising sphere over the past year.

Watch out for the Kickstarter going live Friday, July 12th at 5pm BST. You can delve deeper into the project and its concept HERE.
