[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9204467, member: 467"] What genres get you excited, TTRPG wise? For me: 1. Post Apocalyptic: from Gamma World to Fallout and more, the PA genre is one I always gravitate toward. 2. Superheroes: In addition to all the gonzo fun of "anything goes" inherent in superheroes, I really love the real person behind the domino mask aspect. 3. Science Fantasy: This is a lot like #1 and #2, and sometimes the lines are super blurry, but there is something about being able to embrace any genre trope you have ever seen in a single game. I love putting Gamma World mutants in D&D games or D&D style fantasy in technothriller heists. 4. D&D fantasy: this is a genre of its own that extends well beyond the D&D game systems. It is full of great tropes that I grew up with. 5. Space Opera: if I am making this a "top 5" for myself, space opera just edges out Epic Fantasy. I think it is just a scope difference because the two genres share a lot of non aesthetic aspects. As much as I love ancient collapsed empires and re-emergence of ancient threats in a medieval world, I'll always pick that plus the huge scope of interplanetary adventure. What are your favorite genres for TTRPGs? Why? [/QUOTE]
