    Oh my goodness. I thought I was the only one! Not sure why I'm not into medieval, especially medieval fantasy. I love hearing about them second hand. But I can just never write in the setting!

    I enjoy fantasy, but more modern day or homebrewed settings. Dark fantasy is especially a favorite! And I have yet to find a horror group I've been interested in but I'd love to try one out someday.

    I haven't seen a lot of dark fantasy roleplays, but it's definitely a genre I'd love to see more of! Where are my eldritch horrors and giant spider monsters at?

    Dark Fantasies, Mass Effect, some sci fis. Very rarely post-apocalyptic.

    Fiction/Fantasy, Sifi, and Apocalyptic. There are a few others but I would say this is the main.

    I mostly stick to Harry Potter since that's what I have been rping for the last 12ish years, but I have dabbled in supernatural (not the show), marvel, and slice of life.

    Generally prefer space/sci-fi sims; I'm currently running a Star Trek RPG, and I've dabbled with Star Wars and Mass Effect. I once designed and briefly played an Elder Scrolls tabletop RPG based off D&D.

    I'm a modern fantasy junkie. Give me anything supernatural-related, and I'm all over it like white on rice. I also have been branching out into high/epic fantasy, which I've found to be much more enjoyable than I expected.

    Modern fantasy! Possibly human and animal roleplay also.

    I did a 30 person survey on my own site and asked them what genre of RP they liked the most. The top 5 were adventure, fantasy, action, with a tie for crime and political intrigue

    There are a lot of more nuanced genres that we didn't account for, but I'd say that those five pretty much describe my broad interests too, and if I had to pick just two I'd say . . . fantasy and . . . political intrigue! As long as the politics don't always have to be grand and sweeping. Sometimes the smaller story is the more intriguing one

    I usually do sci-fi but I really want to get into fantasy with steampunk or some kinda Magitech nation/faction.

    Fantasy though I often put in a modern twist, such as people being transported from modern day earth to this fantasy land. Or vice versa. Trying to expand to sci fi and supernatural.
     
  14. Apocalypse, Sci-Fantasy and Modern/Urban/Supernatural fantasy are easily my favorites. Sometimes I get an itch for medieval and high fantasy but I've sort of burned myself out on that over the years.

    Also dragon rider stuff is usually pretty fun.

    Most of what I roleplay is medieval, fantasy, with slight romance and military style in some of them. I also do guild style rps too

    I can honestly be lured into ANY genre, as long as the premise is intriguing and I have faith in the GM (and like their writing style). I have to say that the presentation of the initial OOC thread plays a big part in how excited I get by an RP. If it's poorly put together or demonstrates a lack of effort, to be it raises some questions about the commitment of the GM.

    Nowadays it's Harry Potter (Marauder's Era) almost exclusively. But I've delved into a bit of everything in the past. I just don't have much time to devote to multiple sites and learning the lore of worlds I'm not intimately acquainted with anymore - yay ~adulthood~

    Fantasy (Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones), sci-fi (Firefly, Star Wars) and supernatural (vampires!) appeals the most, lately. Preferably sites that see at least 10 posts a day (I enjoy active communities), so that I know I'm not wasting my time and effort in trying to contribute to site growth.

    Mecha, for sure! Who doesn't dig giant robots? (A cookie if you get the reference!)
