Excess Advantage

Today’s episode is a quick one. I just want to let all y’all know what’s coming next for season 2 of Excess Advantage.

Today is part 2 of the dev interview. We have some great conversations and just overall had a blast!

Welcome to the penultimate episode of season 1 of Excess Advantage! This episode is an extra-special one because of the number of co-hosts I have: 3 of the mods from the Discord server/FB group/subreddit and 3 from FFG! That’s right, join us as we chat with Sam Stewart, Tim Cox and Tim Huckelbery!

We discuss so many things in part 1 of the chat that I can’t even begin to enumerate them. You’ll just have to have a listen for yourself!

Also mentioned in this episode is the Discord server where this live chat took place, the Facebook Group and the subreddit. Come join us if you haven’t already!

Part II of my delve into making adversaries. Today is all about how to create them. I go step-by-step, following the book, talking about how each step works, with examples along the way.

Just remember two very important points:

• Step 1: Develop a Concept is the most important step. It informs all the decisions you make
• Your PC sheets are the best guidelines you have. What works for one group might not work for another

Today’s episode is the first in a series of 3 as we delve deep into adversaries and how they work.

Part 1 is all about the mechanics of adversaries: how minions, rivals and nemeses work mechanically, as well as what they can bring to your encounters.

Also in this episode, I talk about joining us on various platforms.

Twitter Instagram Looks like today is a two-fer! I am sad to have to bring this to you, but there is some political BS going on with the current Genesys Facebook community, so a bunch of us who were banned […]

Today’s episode is all about making your own setting. I talk about my process and share how I use it to create both my Titanfall: Genesys setting as well as a play-by-post I’m running. Each one has different needs and thus are treated differently.

Today I am again joined by Adam of Force Majure Podcast and we discuss Story Points! And Rules lawyerism. And other podcasts. And…oh gods, the tangents!

I hope you enjoy!

Today I delve into the short, but dense, Social Encounters chapter. Don’t let the 7-page size fool you: it’s packed with great information for how to socialize in Genesys. From the simple to the complex. From the quick-and-dirty encounters to the set-piece encounters. It’s all here.

I do have to apologize for my voice, I was getting over a head cold or something when it was recorded, so I do sound off and stutter more than usual. I hope that doesn’t put you off of the episode, though!

Today I am joined by Adam from the Force Majeure podcast (https://forcemajeurepod.com/) and we talk about making stuff up!

I talk a bit about my work-in-progress Titanfall: Genesys (https://github.com/c-bec-k/TitanfallGenesys) mod and we talk about his conversion from a Pathfinder game to Genesys, along with a bit of brainstorming a PC sentient rat swarm.
