However, it usually goes with me running fantasy, then something else, then fantasy, then something else, etc. We almost always end up coming back to fantasy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588183535221978936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-82002522651431465062014-05-30T10:41:22.217-04:002014-05-30T10:41:22.217-04:00Superheros or horrorSuperheros or horrorEmanuel James MIlllerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731066401165265254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-53051723464485277482014-05-30T10:19:52.627-04:002014-05-30T10:19:52.627-04:00Almost always fantasy.

I've run one-off Gamma World games, but I can't recall running a campaign in any other genre.<br /><br />This is the case for two reasons:<br />1) I don't think I could pull off other genres to my satisfaction<br />2) I don't have a lot of time for gaming, so I stick with what I'm good at and enjoy the most: fantasyGrumpy Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087904102183244773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-34201888324180377612014-05-30T07:18:24.140-04:002014-05-30T07:18:24.140-04:00For our group, it was system of choice for decades...For our group, it was system of choice for decades, not genre of choice: HERO. A lot of superhero stuff, but also a lot of stuff at heroic and capable normal levels of play, in a variety of genres. But about ten years back we migrated away from HERO onto other games, and now we play a wide variety of things; we rotate GMing duties around the group, and tend not to hover over one genre, so we regularly play horror, fantasy, SF, post-apoc, supers and then rinse/repeat.Viktorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867648528753994863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-49567935347637574552014-05-30T07:16:47.845-04:002014-05-30T07:16:47.845-04:00Breaking things up with something different is goo...Breaking things up with something different is good for you, your players, and your skills as a GM. I tend to stick with fantasy but not exclusively, I'll wander off into eldritch horror and science fantasy now and again.I've manged two fair length campaigns with post apoocalypse RPGs, they really aren't all that different from D&D the weapons and loot have different names, and sources of power and the biggest monster is man.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-65966686302557264742014-05-30T06:23:18.351-04:002014-05-30T06:23:18.351-04:00Superhero GM of preference...have done various oth...Superhero GM of preference...have done various others.
