The strategic expansion missed it's deadline getting back to me, but we will be releasing it once it is in my hands.
The Campaign Rules on the other hand are ahead of schedule and have arrived. I will be doing a quick editing look through them the rest of this week, and releasing them early this coming weekend.
So What I am most excited about is the First Age book which is looking exciting. So here is a quick preview of what to expect with a whole new level of customization.
Classes: This is one of the biggest changes from the previous book to now. You can create your own classes!!!! This allows you to opt in new Domain options for your classes and essentially creating new classes that will better grant your vision of what your faction will look.
Weapons and Equipment: This also follows with additional customization options that will allow you to create weapons and equipment that follows either historical or fantasy visions that you have for your weapons. Factions gain access to several custom items automatically and allow for additional bonuses through traits and abilities (and sometimes classes).
Powers: Powers following the customization method of selecting different effects and spheres to allow for customization that is unprecedented in previous games.
On Genesys Games website I will be doing some previews in the upcoming weeks.

A couple days early, but with a few life hiccups posting on the 25th would be problematic. So here it is.
What is HeroPlay? Its a smaller skirmish sets of rules that are focused on individual models instead of squads. There is a lean towards Heroes in this style of game which includes a few minor rule add-ons and a smaller board size that can easily be sized down from a normal board.
Game size is small, from 100-350pts or so, and not designed to go more than that. These games are perfect for playing squads you are really interested in developing a story with or the development of heroes within your faction.
This type of play is nice to get a couple quick games in or to play when you just do not have that many models painted up and ready.
The download link should be arriving momentarily.

We sent out a message here on Kickstarter a few minutes back that includes a tested link to download the new Epoch: Core Rules for the Genesys Project. If you were not able to get this, please leave a comment here and we will figure it out for you. Next time around the download will be available on genesysgames.com.
Some of the main changes you will see are how Armor works, the Combat Situation and how Class level interacts, critical dice/hits, damage, and devastating hits. Also a much more robust set of missions.
In the future we have a couple updates coming to these rules (add-ons), as we head up to releasing the 1st Age.
There are a couple sections that tie into the First Age, like factions, and progression awards that will be updated alongside the 1st Age release, as they will make sense at that point and not conflict with the current publications.
It's time to move forward.
We know we have been remiss and while there is no going back, we are pushing ahead with our plans to release the Genesys Project Epoch first and foremost to those of you that have backed us on Kickststarter or by other means.
We will be releasing what we have been testing and working on for the past couple years+. There be a monthly in a digital release through the scheduled listing with the plans for a special edition release in physical format (for backers only). For those of you coming later, but included for current backers, The Genesys Project will become living rulebook with a method (not released yet) to jump on board.
What is Genesys Epoch?
While silent, work on this project has not stopped (there were a couple extended pauses) and we are excited for just what the new edition will bring to the table. Genesys Epoch is a refining and even more epic version of The Genesys Project which we will be discussing over the next few weeks through until June 20th.
If you are familiar with the game, you will already know just how flexible it is to create your faction in both the first and second ages. What you haven't seen yet is how we have refined and fixed what we considered to be glaring problems through progression and sessions that could become quite unbalanced and unforgiving. Concepts and ideas that were either left out or not in the game have been given a method for inclusion, and we look forward to next several months of getting these out to you.
We know there will be additional questions and concerns. There will be more details coming. genesysgames.com is and will be the best location to keep up on seeing the latest news.
