EPISODE 29: Demystifying the Mystical VII - The Conjuring

Sunday Jan 22, 2023

Sunday Jan 22, 2023

This episode we summon up a deep dive into the Conjure spell. First up in The Furnace, we talk about the Conjure spell, how to adjudicate its use, and offer you some homebrew rules to make this spell easier to handle. In Die Casting, we tackle two Conjure related talents, Natural Communion and Druid. We explore their benefits and show you how we can turn both into a truly unholy set of derived talents. Lastly, we call upon the forces of the netherworld (our mailbag) to answer your game and rules questions in Under the Hammer. So, break out your Necronomicon, charge up your Staff of Summoning, and don your ritualistic robes, as we bring forth another fantastic episode of The Forge: A Genesys RPG Podcast.

EPISODE 23 - Adversarial Advice

Thursday Oct 01, 2020

Thursday Oct 01, 2020

When the chips are down and your party is in the thick of it, foes abound in your games. Whether your party is facing off against enemies, villains, thugs, ne'er-do-wells, hardened criminal, misfits, or pariahs - the nature of Adversaries in the Genesys RPG is a universal constant that gamemasters must manage and player characters must tackle. But how do you ensure the adversaries in your encounters balance to that of your party? How do you craft adversaries using all the best tenets of the Genesys System and good game design?

To tackle this adversarial question, we welcome back a legend to the show: the amazing Keith Kappel. With Keith's help, we plough headlong into the process of NPC and Adversary creation in Genesys - with a special focus on the Power Levels introduced in the Expanded Players Guide. From start-to-finish, this in-depth discussion lays out the best ways to not only create easy and balanced NPCs - but using Power Levels to ensure your NPCs are balanced to the encounter and the party they are up against!

So prepare to twirl your moustaches, Gamer Nation, make your villainous speeches, and reveal all of your secret plans to the heroes nearing certain death trapped in your machine of doom - as GM Chris, GM Hooly, and Keith Kappel offer you some Adversarial Advice on The Forge.
