Correct, so the set up is to finish off a really tough enemy with a high ring value before they can recover (i.e. Oni or a Manifest Kami). Granted, my players commented that its probably more efficient with Student of Talons, armed with a Bisento (or Maskari as he's a pleb), doing the +8-9 DLS (max range 5-6 w/ Piercing Bolt + his school rank ability of at least 3 to get the technique) without even moving (although the scene is only limited to skirmish).

Yes you are right and yes, archer cavalry is OP, just ask anyone that fought the Golden Horde in an open field. 😂

Actually, it's Out of Stock...

If you want general rules to use in most settings I would pick the Lead by Example (also my bad, fortifications rules were in Forged in Battle). This is just because it has more things to learn from, but I wouldn't get this just for the mass combat rules or other extended rules in SW for your Genesys games. You need a lot of translating to make it usable in other settings.
Also something in my bones tell me Mass Combat will be included in Keyforge, just because the setting has huge armies fighting.

The Upcoming page has updated, release date now set for 2/14.

Only 4 more days until the end of January, wonder FFG will pay their shippers express delivery again? Also I hope this won't be the last L5R Book, because I really like this interpretation of the system. 😣

Hello,
We recently started playing SotB and really enjoyed it, so we went ahead and created our own campaign.
With that campaign, I wanted to make my own character sheet. Here's a link to it (OneDrive):
https://1drv.ms/b/s!AkFeRZuDQXqIg1bPQ8emUW0O2WGX?e=zMl7Fa

I wanted to centralize the combat and stats on one page and the character related things on another. Then I wanted to expand the inventory and weapon sections a bit. Finally, there are some space for companions (drones, vehicles, minions etc) as well as an expanded talent page.
 
There are some great character sheets on here already with automagical calculations of stats and display of dice etc. This does not have that. This was only a fun little side project for me where my only real goal was to have a sheet that felt a little more thematic for our SotB-based campaign.
The sheet is form fillable. It's not perfect but it works for me for the most part.
If this looks interesting to you please feel free to use it and let me know how it worked out for you. Any feedback is welcome.
 
Note: While I created the majority of the content, there are some pictures from the FFG promotional material from their homepage used in the background - I do not own the rights for these and if asked I will take this down.
Thank you!

As the guy who initially wrote the Homestead rules (and the Jedi school stuff from the Warrior book), I'm glad to see these finding life in Genesys as well! I also did rules for building a fighter gym along the same lines for my Genesys Foundry supplement (Ready...Fight!) Which you can check out on Drive Thru RPG. 

To add to Bricksteel there is two more:
Edge of the Empires: Far Horizons page 81~85 have Homestead (similar to rebel base) and Business (more merchant oriented). You can use obligation as well as credits in these rules.
Age of Rebellion: Fully Operational  page 74~75 have Converting Civilian Facility to make a more concealed base that uses a legit institution to hide the rebel agenda.
There is also Force and Destiny: Knights of Fate 92~95 which allows you to use xp to make a Jedi school and rules for followers and NPC helpers. Not really a base but useful maybe for some ideas.

Hello!
As it seems that FFG will not make an Arkham Horror Files supplement for Genesys (due to the conflicting legal rights), is anybody working on one or planning to do one?
Thanks

If there are any MapTool fans out there, I've thrown together a framework for Genesys, and would love for people to take it for a spin.

My guess is in the neighbourhood 40~60k Credits for the basic models (a property cost equivalent to vehicles) and more for advanced/specialized models; basically equivalent to owing vehicle. Its not too expensive for a small business or an independent family to own, but still rare enough. Interestingly, according to "World of Android", Clones are cheaper than Bioroids, but require living space and greater maintenance. In addition, Bioroids can function for years longer and is able to be reconfigured for other tasks if needed. Therefore, in Andorid's world Bioroids are considered better and long-term investment for non-interacting roles and professions.      
Both Jinteki and Haas apparently also have a lease program, like cars, so that could also cheapen the expenses (as well as provide some hooks for scenarios or ideas for characters). 

In defence, Huzz's list has the assumption that laser weapons are standard for all sci-fi settings, and rarity is balanced to the power of the weapon mechanically ("R" restriction non-existent). The official Android list better reflects the technological capabilities of setting (late 21st century Earth), and its legal rules. I mean you can get the Auto Shotgun at rarity 5 instead of 8, although with dubious legal issues coming up on the purchase; reflecting it's ease of fabrication and high demand, but with legal restrictions.  Heck, a pistol is rarity 2 in the official list, so it reflects how libertarian self-defence is the norm in the beanstalk.
Generally I think Genesys's equipment list should reflect the setting more than other systems, and Huzz's list to be more of a guide line and inspiration.

My group just used the same rules provided for rarity on page 82-83 of the core, only instead of negotiation/street-wise we used perception or survival. Most fully intact weapons were rarity 5-ish modified by the location to scavenge (copy of the table I.5-2), plus GM upgrading  difficulty dice on defined dangerous locations (like a battlefield or raider territory).  Most of the time we got one to two scenes of downtime to scavenge per session, basically the shopping/resupply scene that we can get if we are in the middle of nowhere or out of cash.

So far, the mistakes found in SotB are very minor. This is what has been found so far that I have submitted questions about and received answers for:
Rachel Beckmann (p157): Her heavy pistol should use Ranged (Light) instead of Ranged (Heavy)
Caprice Nisei (p171): She should have Knowledge (Science) instead of Knowledge (Facts)
Assistant District Attorney (p228): Their Knowledge (Society) rank should be 2
Brain Machine Interface (p98): "Go deep" should be a maneuver, not an incidental
Sentinel (p134): The text should read "Sentinel then deactivates..." instead of "Archer then deactivates..."
Body Guard talent (p49): Tier should be 3 instead of 2. It is in the correct Tier section.
All fixed in the PDF!

Realistically though, anyone who stacks that many points into a single attribute, makes me chuckle with glee as a GM.   It means they have several weak points that can be exploited.   

Clones and Bioroids are archetypes so steering clear of slavery price charts doesn't surprise me. 
Drone prices/rarity p. 233

I have SotB in print, can’t wait to get the pdf. I would definitely appreciate Worlds of Android getting a pdf release at some point as well. (Rapidly running out of room for print books!
