World of Warcraft for Genesys Alliance Archetypes and Species

We usually just sit down and start playing a game. We don't take a ton of time to flesh everything out for the entire setting. This has served us well. When we decided to do a game in World of Warcraft we simply tried to figure out the Archetypes. We knew the careers would work out easy with the core book.

We decided on using some of the storyline for the current expansion and began a game in Stormwind. We had fun with the concept of guilds. They were more like companies. Some large and powerful. Some small and scrappy. Contracts and Reputation became a big focus. Reputation is right out of the online game. Low reputation doesn't get you treated as bad as it would in a table top rpg though. Contracts were like taking on quests.

So far it has been a blast.

This is pretty much all we had to start with.

Don't try to get it all right. Play it to prove it was the right thing to do. Fix whats broken later.
