307: EPG Review Part 4: New Tones
In this episode of Excess Advantage, we have some great news! Guillaume and I have started the French Genesys community! Pour les francophones, il y a maintenant des groupes sûr Facebook et Discord!
Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/jdrgenesys/
Discord server: https://discord.gg/bUqj2nD
Now, you all probably know that I am American, but I do know enough French to get into trouble, so I hope to see my French-speaking listeners on the new community sites!
For the rest of the episode, I answer a listener question about incorporating the EPG and RoT magic talents. Then we do a deep dive into the two new tones in the EPG: Heist and Noir.

306: Magic Skills Guide
In today's episode, we take a break from the EPG review and I have a nice chat with Guillaume about his Skills Guide. It's been a #1 best seller on Foundry practically since the day it dropped, and for good reason!
In this episode, we focus on the magic skills section because he has some amazing new rules for limiting starting magic without charging characters XP to unlock, and instead relies on skill checks!

304: EPG Review, Part 2: Specialization Trees
In today's episode, I tackle maybe one of the most controversial aspects of the EPG: specialization trees! These talent trees originated in the Star Wars RPG, which is the predecessor of Genesys. I try to be as impartial as I could, but personal preferences do crop up.

303: EPG Review, Part 1
Greetings and welcome! This is the first of my more bite-sized episodes (clocking in a just under 20 minutes) and I take a deep dive into the EPG, Part 3 Chapter 1: Expanded Magic rules.
In this episode, I talk about the new magic talents and actions added in the EPG and how I feel like the EPG is a love letter from the devs to the community.

Customer Reviews
Informative and engaging
This podcast breaks down the excellent Genesys system into easily-digested bite-sized chunks. As well as rules discussions and examples, there's also a chance to see them in play with the live play episodes. A great resource for those interested in the system or wanting to gain a better handle on things.
A great way to learn the game.
As interesting as the Genesys rulebook is, I have a tendency to fall asleep while reading it. This podcast is a great resource to learn the game while on the go, with some great examples of gameplay. It would be cool to hear what is rolled in the gameplay examples to see how that is transformed into the storytelling, but other than that the podcast is faultless. Bite-sized episodes, clear thinking and great ideas for your game.
