Somewhat curious how RTDers fall between fantasy and sci-fi. I've generally seen more games which fall into the former category.

Been trying to prep work for an RTD more in the fantasy side of things but wondering if the tech level I'd decided on constrains things too much and makes wizards mandatory. After all blowing stuff up with your brain is usually going to be more effective than any amount of swording things in the face. Compare to something like Einsteinian Roulette where magic was broken in its own way, but was still a bit of a tradeoff with normal guns because normal guns blow things the fuck up with magnets.

Do a vote in the poll thingy!

Bop voted

[Egan_BW]

At least one person voted the fifth option and then did not elaborate. And many people picked the forth option and didn't elaborate. :p

If you're a 4head, what do you like about each option? How did they differ?

[MeimieFan88]

Explain my reasons for picking option 4.

[Egan_BW]

[Elephant Parade]

Trolling aside, Sci-Fi and Fantasy have different feels and I enjoy them in different ways. Kinda like how I like different genres of movies for different reasons.

[Horizon]

I picked the first one cause fuck your space ships and pew pew weapons.

[A_Curious_Cat]

[King Zultan]

If you're a 4head, what do you like about each option? How did they differ?

Choosing #4 because

Fantasy because magical and also often have themes and technology from medieval history but I'm mostly in for the dwarves, and the sense of an unconquered nature, and also sometimes steampunk as well.

Sci-fi has large settings that give a sense of largeness to due often taking place within a range of planets or star systems. Also who wouldn't love a big stompy robot?

assuming my words are making sense at all.

Choose option 4, and here are my raisins:

fantasy is fun in the sense that it is more medieval and some low magic(I prefer low magic)

sci-fi is usually my go to because I like being able to do crazy science things. Oh and space things.
