What is it about?
Genesys provides a rules framework for inventing worlds or adapting different genres. The core book includes sample settings and tools for magic, vehicles and technology. Its narrative dice produce outcomes beyond simple success or failure, helping the group develop the fiction through complications and opportunities.

At the table
Narrative dice resolve actions while introducing consequences into the scene. The group interprets those results within the current situation and the tone of its chosen genre.
