Message: <blockquote data-quote="MNblockhead" data-source="post: 9605087" data-attributes="member: 6796661">I think of myself as a very open minded gamer. I can enjoy playing just about any game as long as I can get on with the rest of the players. And I generally can get on with most people. So I rarely turn down a gaming session because of the system. But there is one big exception.I don't like "supers" games. The whole genre of superheros games turns me off. And I'm not even sure why. It can't be the power levels. I've run campaigns in D&D to 20th level. And it is not that I hate the genre in any media. I've enjoyed many superhero movies and TV series. I've enjoyed some superhero comics off and on over the years. But whenever I hear about a superhero TTRPG game session, I'm like, "ugh, no thanks." And I don't just mean committing to a superhero-themed campaign, I don't even want to sit down for a session. I'm thinking at the next Gamehole Con I should sign up for at least one superhero game session to see if I can either work past this block, or at least come away with a more informed opinion and maybe some insight on why I don't like them. There is a player in my regular game that is like this with Sci Fi TTRPGs. And I mean Sci Fi in the broadest sense. When I run any Sci Fi flavored one shot, he nopes out. The Expanse? Nope. Paranioa? Nope.Does anyone else have similar genres that turn them off? Do you have more self awareness than I do as to why? Or is it just a "doesn't float my boat" instinctual thing?Also, this thread is a place to defend your yum that others yuck. Not argue, berate, belittle or otherwise be belligerent about it. Just a good faith explanation why you love the genre others don't.  And if you were once turned off by a genre and came to love it, what turned you around?</blockquote>
