First Post
Which of these RPG settings would interest you the most? Multiple selections are fine.

Assume the quality of writing for each setting is the same and the mechanics for each setting are designed to suit that setting.

I voted low-magic historical, no magic historical, and no magic Modern.

I might have voted Modern FX or Sci-Fi, but both are so easy to mess up I decided against voting for them.
 

I put planetary fantasy in a separate category than sci-fi. Call it science fantasy, if you wish. But I'm thinking ERB's Barsoom/John Carter of Mars. I also put Star Wars more into this category than into sci-fi.
 

SUPER HERO! Giant Robots! Wild West. Gothic Horror. World War 2. Time Travel. Deep Science Fantasy (ala Star Trek)

I think this poll is a little too non-specific. There are a lot of wonderful genres and it is very difficult to only pick one. Not to mention anime role-playing that subdivides many times over. (Fantasy Anime, Modern action anime... etc.)
 



I like modern with a little fantasy & sci-fi sprinkled in. An X-files, or slightly more fantastic than x-files but not 'super-hero' or a totally fantastical theme (MIB style).
 

Oh you had to ask.

Only one setting does it for me at the moment and that's Scarred Lands. But Midnight, Thieves World, Freeport and probably Dragonlance (in it's current form) have some things I adore too.

I think the term for this is Space Opera.
