When it comes to action in the Genesys RPG, nothing beats the exhilaration of a chase through city streets, dungeons, or a rocky canyon at breakneck speeds. In this episode the hosts tackle everything there is to know about how to run a chase, how to use them in your game, and how to present them in your next product.
We also catch up with the RPG Narco himself, Roy Altman, to discuss the Genesys Expanded Critical Tables in a return to Breaking the Mould. We also answer some games and rules questions in Under the Hammer and give you a rundown on the latest releases from The Genesys Foundry in Stoking the Fire.
So, buckle up dear listeners and grab your Ray Ban Sunglasses as GM Chris and GM Hooly ride the slipstreams and into the "Danger Zone" as they shoot off at Mach speed towards another exciting episode of The Forge!

In this much anticipated, record breaking, and epically long episode of The Forge: A Genesys RPG Podcast, we dust off some old boxes in the attic with our final look at MAGIC, as we explore the rules behind Magical Implements in the Genesys RPG and how to create them. We even build several implements LIVE on the show to show how easy it is, using our Post-Apocalyptic setting and its Mutations rules.
After we take a detour as we examine wands in GM Chris' Harry Potter setting, we speak with Jerrad Matthew, creator of the hottest title on the Genesys Foundry right now, with an in-depth discussion about SALVAGE: A Genesys Sci-Fi Junkpunk Setting in Breaking the Mould. Lastly, we grab our cloak and dagger, and stick to the shadows, in Die Casting as we explore the Stealth skill, along with answering your games and rules questions.
So, lock your doors, and get comfortable with GM Chris and GM Hooly, as they take you on a journey to The Forge.
