[QUOTE="damiller, post: 9209336, member: 10995"] Lord of the Rings (the One Ring iteration): I know the mythology well enough that I can just inhabit the world. Creating adventures and the tone are just comfortable! Superheroes: Same thing as LoTR. I am so steeped in the general mythology of supers its just like slipping into a comfortable pair of mutated genes. Star Wars: Not quite like the other two. I struggle with it because I dont have as broad or deep of an understanding of the mythology beyond the movies. So most of my Star Wars lately is basically Spies IN SPACE!!!! Which I like just fine, but doesn't really capture the mythological aspect I associate with Star Wars. But frankly I am over the Jedi and Sith and Skywalkers (in my RPG, I like them just fine in the media). Star Trek: It was the first fandom that I really gravitated towards on my own. I discovered it after Star Wars but not by much, and the themes just resonated with me better. Plus it is just as mythological as all the others, no matter how hard it tries to be scientific AND Modiphius 2d20 system is just right. Westerns: it must be the love I have for pulps, that I can't really make happen (I've yet to run a successful "Indiana Jones" game - its my similiar problem to Star Wars: love the tropes, don't know how to translate them to RPGs). My go to system from now on Weird Frontiers the DCC inspired Western. Its just enough crunch to kill. [/QUOTE]
