Just out of curiosity, what genres do you like specifically in TTRPG form? I will try and make the poll as comprehensive as possible, but I am sure I will miss something so feel free to mention it in the comments.

I don't believe in the no-win scenario
I lean more on the mundane side. So, sword and sorcery, hard sci-fi, cyberpunk noir, Mythos horror, etc...
 


I'd call "Comedy" a genre of its own, although it usually overlaps with one or more others, eg Paranoia is some kind of scifi/scifan, TOON! is Cartoons (another missing genre with other reps like Cartoon Action Hour), and Tales From the Floating Vagabond is as much of a genre-blender as Rifts is. It's a bit more than just a play style, given that whole games are designed around the comedy instead of just having supplemental stuff like Sentinel Comics' Guise Book.

Heck, Fiasco is usually a comedy game in practice, even if the humor tends to go very dark.

What is the meant by Science Fantasy?

Also what is space opera v space fantasy?

I'm also becoming increasing charmed by Napoleonic, and other Georgian era roleplay, mostly military and gothic horror but also some regency 'comedy of manners' play
