August 30th is when the Genesys Project heads out to it's first public showing at the Nova Open in Arlington Virginia. Its a few short days away now, and with it, I wanted to share a little of what we bringing there.
First off, there will be three of us, Jason, Josh, and I will be at the Genesys Project tables demoing games and creating factions for anyone interested in stopping by. Here is where we will be, and what we will be doing there....
We are in the very center of the Vendor Hall just as you come down the escalators on your right. That means you cannot miss us, as we will have our banners up making it quite easy.
We will be running two demo tables along with sitting down and showing off just how customizable the game really is. That means you will be able to create your own faction in as little time as it takes to drink your morning coffee.
Here is what we will be doing!
- We will be creating factions..... Lots of them.... If you are coming, simply grab your 4x6 Genesys Project Post Card in your Nova swag bag, and come talk to us. Don't worry if you dont have one, we have more, and can quickly show you the mechanics to create your own customized faction from one of the three Life Domains we are bringing with us..... Humanoids, Fey, and Reptilia
- Two Demo Game Tables will be set up to introduce players to the game mechanics, and you can try them out for yourself.
- Play fully ready to go demo armies in a small demo game for the 1st Age of the Genesys Project. A small 500pt game that can be done in less than an hour.
- Once you've seen the armies for the 1st Age..... take your demo to the next level for a 2nd Age game. This may take a little longer, but still a quick demo, and extremely fun
- See where the game is heading, new concepts for future releases, and when the Open Beta will be wrapped up. (yes we are on schedule)
Here is a sneak peak at the first of the two faction..... The Encryptors.. in both the 1st and 2nd Age.
 |
| 1st Age Encryptors 500pts |
 |
| 2nd Age Encryptors 1000pts |
In the above armies, you can see miniatures from many different miniature companies....
1st Age... Gamezone Miniatures, Cipher Studios (oop)
2nd Age... Anvil Industries, Mantic, and Fantasy Flight
I would like to point out the customized miniatures from Anvil Industries, using their army builder to create heavily armored soldiers with Ballistic Shields and Carbine Glaives. (I just love those)
Still uncertain what the Genesys Project is?
Total Wargame Customization. You create your faction; abilities, spells and powers, artifacts, and even Vehicle and Powered Armor customization. Your faction has never been this much under your own direction, and able to fit exactly how YOU want to play.
Create your faction, play them through the 3 Ages of the Genesys Project, or simply create the faction you want in the Age you most want to play.
The best part? We are in an Open Beta right now, so its free to register and get your own product code, and participate with your own feedback, insight, and ideas.
