I'm preparing to convert my long-running, high-power Pathfinder campaign to Genesys because the combat has become unfun and too much work. Some of my players have played Genesys once before, but this will be a first for me and I was hoping to get some insight from more veteran Genesys GMs.
First of all, I know I just said I'm trying to get away from Pathfinder because there's too much prepwork, but... as weird as this is to say, I feel intimidated by the lack of prep Genesys expects of me. Does anyone understand what I mean?
Secondly, a big thematic focus of my Pathfinder game has been wealth. The PCs are ludicrously rich royalty, far above and beyond the already outrageous wealth guidelines Pathfinder normally suggests for PCs. Money itself has magic power in this setting and I have granted the PCs several ability score boosts, bonus feats, and custom powers as they accumulate more money (it's similar but not quite as powerful as Mythic, for those of you here familiar enough with Pathfinder to know what that means). Some of that custom content can be ported over, but I'm not sure how I can best preserve the feeling of this "money equals power" theme in Genesys when the system places much less emphasis on accumulating and tracking wealth/gear. Any advice here?
Lastly, as royalty, the PCs are also rulers of nations. The campaign's story is focused on coming war as a large empire is beginning to invade the player's kingdoms. Pathfinder's rules for mass combat and war... let's just say they leave something to be desired and are another part of the reason we want to try a different system. But I'm not a big history/war buff IRL who can map out detailed war fronts and tactics and such. How would you run a war scenario in Genesys?
