Q4 2017 Genre Survey - Vote and Be Counted! - Tue 21/11/17 19:32 UTC
OK I got the message! The Q4 survey is late!
Well before we get into the voting, let's reflect on Q2's results.
The following choices received 4 votes each, tying them in first place.
The unsatiable demand for fantasy. Probably explains D&D's continued popularity! But there is something joyously free and easy about fantasy, and that's a good fit for a message game that will be played over many months, years even.
It's quite hard to break the suspension of disbelief in fantasy, and you can have big swingy variations in tone, pacing, in theme, so the game can stay fresh. Dark fantasy though? Intriguing! How dark is 'dark'? Did anyone a particular product or IP in mind?
Post-apocalypse and supers are traditionally difficult to pull-off, but remain a popular survey choice. Have GMs and/or players become shy of them, do you think?
Hmm.
Anyway, without further ado, let's get voting! As before you have 2 votes.
