So its been busy over the break.

Revised core sets made it to the store shelves, and the first expansion for the Kitara Cycle, Sovereign Sight, was released.

I put together decks using just these as an introductory set and will expand them with just the Kitara packs.

I even managed a win vs CI7 albeit fluked.

We have also established a Brisbane Netrunner leaderboard at https://rankade.com/brisbane-netrunner so looking forward to seeing how it pans out over the coming months.

The 3rd launch event for Legend of the Five Rings went well today.

I was able to stream 3 rounds on Twitch. Albeit at a lower rate than I would have liked. But thats the price you pay for mobile data.

We had a good representation of 5 clans but lacked any Unicorn or Crab presence.

The overall to place went to Crane, but quite closely behind were Lion and Scorpion.

Looks like we won’t have any official prize support for some time. So will have to make do with some improvisation on prize support until something else turns up from FFG.

My copy of the Genesys role playing system core rulebook has arrived.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Fantasy Flight Games system since first playing the Star Wars RPG. The way it encourages players to sculpt the narrative of their rolls is brilliant. I already wanted to run an Android universe RPG, and was actually trying to port the SWRPG rules across myself. But having this new framework certainly helps.

In the Genesys core book there wasn’t actually as much Android specific ruleset as I had initially expected. However now that I’ve read through through the majority of the book I’m ok with it. As an example I saw a character profile in the space opera setting, instantly I realised this would make a perfect base for a Nisei line clone. However from the provided clone character profile I never would have thought up a Nisei this way.

In writing up my first session, I was able to lift encounters from other SWRPG modules and rewrite the narrative to fit the Android universe. Similar for any items lacking in the Genesys core set, taking some of these from existing material will help me keep some balance before I start crafting my own world. I’m keenly looking forward to sitting down with the first group of players to get started on some characters.
