Excess Advantage

In this episode of Excess Advantage, we have some great news! Guillaume and I have started the French Genesys community! Pour les francophones, il y a maintenant des groupes sûr Facebook et Discord! Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/jdrgenesys/ Discord server: https://discord.gg/bUqj2nD Now, you all probably know that I am American, but I do know enough French to get into trouble, so I hope to see my French-speaking listeners on the new community sites! For the rest of the episode, I answer a listener question about incorporating the EPG and RoT magic talents. Then we do a deep dive into the two new tones in the EPG: Heist and Noir.

In today's episode, we take a break from the EPG review and I have a nice chat with Guillaume about his Skills Guide. It's been a #1 best seller on Foundry practically since the day it dropped, and for good reason! In this episode, we focus on the magic skills section because he has some amazing new rules for limiting starting magic without charging characters XP to unlock, and instead relies on skill checks!

In today's episode, we continue with the Expanded Optional Rules from the EPG: Social Encounters. This episode only discusses the basic of social skills as well as the new options and suggestions in the EPG. If you would like to hear my in-depth coverage of the social encounter mechanics, check out episode 113 (https://anchor.fm/excess-advantage/episodes/113-Social-Encounters-e3h0qo)!

In today's episode, I tackle maybe one of the most controversial aspects of the EPG: specialization trees! These talent trees originated in the Star Wars RPG, which is the predecessor of Genesys. I try to be as impartial as I could, but personal preferences do crop up.

Greetings and welcome! This is the first of my more bite-sized episodes (clocking in a just under 20 minutes) and I take a deep dive into the EPG, Part 3 Chapter 1: Expanded Magic rules. In this episode, I talk about the new magic talents and actions added in the EPG and how I feel like the EPG is a love letter from the devs to the community.

Just a quick episode to update all y'all on what's happening with the podcast as well as the future of Genesys!

With the recent release of the Expanded Player's Guide and the inclusion of vehicle creation rules, there has been a renewed interest into vehicles. So today we do a deep dive into the rules for vehicles: what a vehicle is, how it works, what it can and can't do and how vehicular combat differs from personal combat!

Welcome to the first interlude episode of season 2! Due to an unfortunate family emergency, Scott was unable to make our regular recording day so I stepped in and gave a monologue on how you can ask good questions and give quality answers when interacting with the online community. While this advice is aimed at the Genesys community specifically, the advice is universally applicable to any fandom for any game system!
