We had a delay in Customs last week but we are back moving forward again and are looking to start distribution sometime next week with digital distribution also being fulfilled next week. Distribution once it begins will be quick and efficient, so just about everything will be shipped to you and other backers in a single day (we have the manpower ready).
We are distributing from two locations, one in the US and one in the UK. Luckily for us our products are currently in those two countries (I have been hearing of pallets being held up with long delays when going international right now). It seems we are clear of that. I will be sending out another update towards the end of this week or beginning of next week as distribution begins.
So as long as shipping companies are working, we will should not see any additional delays. I am working extra on making certain myself almost daily to check on the progress.
On a further note to both digital products The Core Rules and the Birth of Genesys. Next week when you receive your emails to get your digital books, there will be two versions of the rules for you. The first is a a High Res Version that will show off the beauty of the book, and a standard version which will be easier to use on your tablets phones etc. The reason is we wanted to make certain that the quality of book is shown off as much as possible (the physical books are nice), but we know that not all tablets would be as easy to navigate on some devices for gameplay etc. So you get both.
Also here is the first video in a line of them that will be coming over the next few weeks, starting with Creating Factions 101, which will be followed by Creating Humanoids.
Last Week There was Shipping Delays..... Now....

Now things are moving along quickly and we will begin distribution the moment our pallets arrive at our two fulfillment locations. I expect that to happen sometime next week (towards the end of the week as everything is checked and packaged). I was Skyping today and the distributors handling Kickstarter fulfillment are rearing to go once everything arrives. I'm very excited at this point and its all good news!
Something fun: Lots of templates (a pic from a week or so ago). These are our combo 3"/ 5" Templates. The inner circle is 3" and the outer circle is 5". How cool is that! For credit.... Awesome design concept from Dave Taylor specifically for us! They are not flimsy at all. Im a big fan of them.
These work great for customizing your spells to give them an area effect, especially for those darn Fey who can augment their powers during the game!
Things to look forward to are a series of videos that will be launching about the same time distribution is happening. The videos are the how to of creating your factions and playing the game.
In the meantime we are preparing for the next two books (and have been for quite some time now)! The Revelations and Genesys- 2nd Age and the Exodus of Genesys- 3rd Age. So lots of fun coming and its going to be a crazy and fun year.
Expect another update once distribution begins!
Talk again soon,

Updates on Where we are at.

I hope everyone is doing well. I expected this next update to be one saying that we are currently distributing everything to you right now or within a day or so, but there has been a hold up in shipping that is not within our control. Last week all three pallets were supposed to be on the proper boats heading to 3 different locations for distribution to all the supporters of the project. Shipping threw us a curve a couple days ago (beginning of this week). Here is the copy paste from the shipping company. I received this after I had expected our pallets to already have already shipped and on their way the week before.
We have received a notification that the vessel will be 1 week delayed. The reason given is congestion in Rotterdam. It is likely the result of the strong storm on the Atlantic that have caused interruptions in Rotterdam and also vessel delays in navigating around the storms or waiting things out. I am very sorry about the bad news.
As it stands this is putting us a couple weeks past my February deadline and into March for distribution. Being proactive and to make the packing more efficient to get to everyone I am using two distribution companies, one in the US and one in the UK to help put everything together once pallets arrive to minimize the packing time and to ensure proper packing/tracking/etc. This adds additional costs on this end, but will be more efficient to help in the over all timeline, as delays push back not only you receiving the game but also any additional retail distribution and further releases (all of you are first and foremost, everything else comes after you get your orders).
I apologize for the delay and it is painful for me to not be on time. I greatly appreciate your patience in this, and I do have a couple things to share with you besides delays. As soon as the books arrive and are being prepared for distribution to you I will be giving you another update.
If you have not seen these already.... The books are just amazingly beautiful. I've been impressed with the quality of them. Here is a couple pics.
Birth of Genesys Backgrounds: The first is that we have some background/desktop/phone backgrounds for everyone that is excited for the project. You can download these now at the link below.
New Faction Sheets: These I am really excited about as they are designed to allow you to create your own Faction Book. There are two different faction sheets, the first is one you can print out and with pen or pencil right out your faction on your own, with locations for pictures of your miniatures and etc. This can also be used a worksheet for the fillable form.. The second is a fillable pdf form that you can upload pics directly into and create a faction book for the faction you make.
These will always be free to download, and you can get an early look at them now (and download them) at the link below.
Here are some images of the Faction Sheets in use.
Where are we at? Ive got two books in hand to show you.

Something happened today that I cannot wait for you to enjoy yourself, the arrival of The Genesys Project books (Of course mine were sample copies of both books for final approval). The books were quite spectacular and so much nicer in quality that I had expected. They are beautiful. Check them out.
Its truly amazing to get these in hand. Hardcover and 184 pages in the Birth of Genesys and 96pages in the Core Rules. That new book smell is wonderful.
I will be putting together a better looking video that is shorter and polished for the website and some of these sections will be edited out and passed over, but for you who supported the project I wanted you to see even more of whats inside.
So Here is the raw video for the Core Rules! Only available here through this update.
Here is the Birth of Genesys Raw video. Again remember that these are raw video and there will be a polished version up on the site soon. This is just the first set of video footage I took quickly for everyone here that supported this project.
Know that I received these samples today and I will be giving the go ahead to the printers today, as well as getting these shipped out so that we can start distribution to you. Just to answer a question from earlier today, the digital versions of the books will be available once we are knee deep into the final fulfillment shipping everything out. This means that everyone should be getting their books hopefully as close as possible to everyone else.
Getting back to work on these videos! We will talk again soon!

Happy Holidays- Updates, New Images, and What is to Come in 2020!

It's that time of the year and I wanted to first off say what a great 2019 it's been with all of you that have supported the project. I have pulled myself back the last day or so and just read through all the exciting things that are there to explore in the Birth of Genesys book and I am so torn on what factions I would love to explore playing myself on the gaming table. This is exactly what I was looking for in a game, one that allowed you to explore and delve into different melee combat styles, martial arts, varied magics and powers, and the creation of very cool classes that you can create. I found myself making Warlocks, Monster Hunters, Chaos Mages, and even a Human faction that could cast powers with a collective consciousness.... what? Yea, the directions possible sometimes even catch me by surprise.
Here are a couple images from there showing off the Covers of both books!
Now how about a couple pages exclusively for you.
What else is going on right now here at the office? Well to begin we have been working with the printer making certain all the specs of the book are right. A little bit of back and forth but it seems we are good now. This pushes us into the next year with 2020 looking like it's going to be a crazy good year. Not only are we still looking at May'ish for the 2nd and 3rd Age Kickstarter, we have some exciting other going on.
A big update to our website is going live in the next few days to kick off the near year, which will include a lot of fun information.
We also have our first Campaign coming out in January. This will be a PDF release but will take players deep into the background of one of our premade factions in the Core Rules, delving into their creation. The release will focus on exploration of the ruins with rules for 1-4 player games escalating into a climatic battle. As a rule campaigns will not introduce new traits and abilities (meaning won't be required for players to get access to new abilities). Instead Campaigns are more like adventure books to enhance your gameplay, with new settings, game set ups, and fun ways to play the game and enhance your narratives for any faction wishing to delve into them.
So looking forward.... Have a Great Christmas and Holidays from Genesys Games. 2020 will be incredible and I am so excited to jump right in.
