Kraken have posted pdfs of the Genesis Rulebook. You can download the book as a whole or as separate parts (Rules, background, scenarios)
Kraken Editions
Now i have some more reading to do!
Full Version: [Alkemy] Genesis now available for download
After a quick look so far i am very impressed, all the factions look like they will get some nice editions to their armies. I think i will be getting Ibrahim Ibn Suleman to lead my Khalimans for sure but he is a Wave 7 release so it might be a while
The Avalonian Colossus sounds dangerous with being able to do 9 points of damage!
Looking forward to playing some more games now

Awesome. Downloading it now. 
The rules didn't seem that different to me, maybe only adding the focus levels to casting spells like staseman told us about
I haven't got around to reading all the background and extra characters yet

Background is a little tricky to read due to problems wrapping text around some of the images... I posted this on the Kraken forums:

Fortunately, this doesn't affect the rules or army list entries - it's only present in the background sections, so won't stop people from playing some games icon_smile.gif Unfortunately, it means that some of the background is still a mystery...

Having the book available at last is fantastic, though 
I think I'm likely to start collecting Avalonians at some stage. The Prioress figure is great, and I like everything available to the faction...

What're you using to read the file, morsla? It's a mess in the places you mention when I look at it with Preview (on a Mac), but works fine when I look at it with Adobe Reader (again, on a Mac). I gather that Preview handles layers weirdly.
I haven't really had a chance to peruse the rulebook in detail, but I'm keen to give this game a shot!
Text seems fine on my pc with acrobat
But i did find a spelling mistake or too, a repeated paragraph and the Leap skill is a bit confusing to read

Ah - gotcha.
I thought I'd been reading via Acrobat Reader, but the new Firefox PDF reader (for Macs) seems to use Preview.
No problems in Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Reader. The garbled text appears when using Preview (either within Firefox, or when opened seperately).
Now I can go back and read all the missing bits...
There are a few typos, but generally it's pretty good. A couple of bits missed by the translators, too (P.71: Skill "Taille 2" on the Wolf Spirit-Guard; p.122: "Mise en place de jeu" in place of "Setting up the game" etc).

They've got the full one (the 45 meg one) and then it's split into chunks for dial up suckers.

Forgive the total tangent, but sitting in Parkes bored out of your mind? Are you a radio astronomer? Who lives in Melbourne? Any chance I know who you are?
He's an accountant. He'll be up there to accountant stuff up. All over the place.
edit: Or the other one. The one thats like an accountant, but they don't like being accountants because thats not what they do. Either way, not a radio man guy.

Im not an accountant dammit !!
Im a freakin' compliance person who doesnt deal with accountants.

Although radio astronomer would be a cool job, the new Hubble pics are awesom.

So... "money man"? "finance dude"?
Well i dont actually deal in either of those areas.
How about 'non-comittal financial advice in a purely general sense that is like totally compliant with the relevant legislation' dude ?

Hey Minion, didn't know you played, but at the same time shouldn't be surprised. Like me you seem to like the fun small little skirmish games
I still need to play a game of Infinity one day...
