The word is spreading, from Podcasts such as Cast Dice, (soon to be Frontline Gaming, Anonymous Tabletop, and Skirmish Supremacy) to other sites like Beasts of War and more to come.
Friday the Kickstarter launches at 5pm UK(BST), 12pm EST, and 9am PST.
So what will be available during the campaign?
We are Kickstarting two books. Remember that the Genesys Project is Miniatures Agnostic- you can use miniatures you already have! This makes it easy to get into the game.

The Genesys Project- Core Rules
Introduction
Overview of the Genesys Words
Gaming Rules
Preparing your Forces
10 Missions
Post-game Results for Campaign Play
And eight, pre-made 1st AGE factions, ready for you to start playing
As the name of this book suggests, these are the core rules for playing games of The Genesys Project through all three Ages. This is a unit-based skirmish game, so the rules are swift, and still contain a level of granularity to provide deeply satisfying games. The inclusion of the ready-made 1st AGE factions gives you a taste of what is possible when you move into the 1st AGE book.
The Core Rules are one set of rules that all the Ages of The Genesys Project will use.
Three Ages - One Core Set of Rules.
The Birth of Genesys- The First Age
Introduction
Lore of the Genesys Worlds
How To Build a Faction
The Humanoid Domain
The Biest Domain
The Fey Domain
The Reptilia Domain
The Insekt Domain
Pre-made 1st AGE factions for all five Domains
The Birth of Genesys (1st AGE) book is where The Genesys Project really sets itself apart. Most wargames provide players with a pre-determined army list of units to choose from, with little or no opportunity to adjust them to better fit a playstyle or miniatures collection. Here you get to choose from five different Domains, then work through and actually create each of your unit types (including their stats and traits) to create a faction that is unique to you.
You will be able to get these two books in either physical or digital formats, or even both. The best part is that for the 1st 48 hours we will even be offering the Primitive Age PDF for free to all backers. Later this may become an Add-On stretch goal, but its been tremendous fun the past 8 months playtesting a primitive age.
What is it? It's a method to create your faction through gameplay with it's own unique mission awards and variations.
So.... What else is in the campaign?
At the moment there are a few additional stretch goals laid out, these include additional powers, traits, and abilities for the domains. Expansions in just how these are done, including methods for channeling powers, an expansion of monster creation and more.
Want to get your own faction into the Core Rulebook?
Yes, this will be an actual pledge! Not only will you get an early look into the domain of your choice, but your faction and background will be included in the Core Rules with Concept Artwork included!!! Just a heads up though, as you can imagine.... These are extremely limited and once they are gone they gone.
So stay close to what is going on. Dave Taylor is a mastermind behind the scenes and together we have been working for months to bring this to launch. Its going to be exciting......
