[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8362982, member: 7023887"] IMHO, that's a distinction without a difference. D&D is a fantasy TTRPG. It's the first one, the one that has had the largest impact on the fantasy genre in general. It's the most popular one, the one with the most resources for it to get products and expansions, and is the easiest for new players to get into (largely due to simple rules, it being more popular and easier to find games/tables for, and it having a vast range of playstyles and subgenres). Its overall genre is Fantasy. Its genre isn't "Forgotten Realms/Greyhawk/Exandria/Dragonlance fantasy", because Dark Sun, Eberron, Ravnica, Ravenloft, and Theros are official D&D settings in 5e, and they all have very different subgenres and themes. Fantasy is the genre, and all types of fantasy should be available to play in D&D, and most should be supported by the core rulebooks so people that want to play X-subgenre of fantasy don't have to buy further books. There should be equal support for most (if not all) general subgenres of fantasy in the core books of D&D 5.5e/6e. [/QUOTE]
