Degenesis is a great ttrpg! The quality is amazing and the developers, too. I mean: All downloads are FREE! This is unbelievable and for that alone they deserve 5 stars (because of the quality+price).
I guess for new players it might take a while to get into the settings and rules which apply many great ideas, but have some - in my opinion - unnecessary time-wasters as well.
- If you have the time to really dive deep into a ttrpg and enjoy a massive setting, active world and development: Degenesis is your game!
- If you are a rule junky as well, you might want to tinker here and there a little bit to make it round for your group (my opinion)
- If you do not have a lot of time, you might feel overwhelmed by the ammount of content that exists. In that case I can recommend to lean back and relax. Just because there is so much world you can visit and read about, doesn't mean you have an obligation to do so. You can just start very small or just handwave lore questions you can't answer. You cannot play ttrpgs "incorrectly" as long as it is fun for you, you are doing it right!
What I would use Degenesis for: I would use Degenesis for campaigns and groups that I intend to play with for a long time. I use it for players that enjoy rich stories and content.
What I wouldn't use Degenesis for: I wouldn't use Degenesis for pickup games and one-shots. The overload of information will probably be too large to truley enjoy the experience. I am not using it for groups that enjoy mainly narrative gaming or hack & slay.
That being said...: I once was invited to a Degenesis one-shot that worked really well, so it is possible. I just think that it doesn't really give you the full Degenesis experience. Also: If you are overwhelmed by the amount of content: The Degenesis community is - afaik - pretty open minded and will probably assist you in your journey of dming Degenesis: https://degenesis.com/community
Last but not least...: The developers of Degenesis are extremly well connected with the community. I asked them if they could bundle the degenesis products and they did so within less than 20 minutes which is frankly shocking ^^ :heart:
