As someone who's more or less only played D&D (and ran Ryuutama) I'm curious how others feel. My personal inclination is toward games where settings are more like... flavors of stories, I guess. Genres. Something more like an engine to run things toward a certain type of story.But I've looked at a bunch of games lately, and have been researching to broaden my viewpoint on the subject. Games like Symbaroum are getting close to breaking through my reticence. Symbaroum is lush and feels very alive with its laser-focused setting, but I can't help but wonder if you took the setting out of it, how well it may run another adventure of its same flavor? (A sort of dark, murky fantasy, I suppose.)Anyway, how do you all feel about them?</blockquote>
