YouTuber Bob the Worldbuilder divided RPG Fantasy into 8 genres: High, Low, Superhero, Sword and Sorcery, Science Fantasy, Weird West, Gothic Horror, and Cozy.

What RPG system would you suggest for each?

Just using the hacks of #Cairnrpg I would put:

High: Wilderlands
Low: Cairn
Superhero: probably just go with 5e here
Sword and Sorcery: Distant Lands
Science Fantasy: Into the Odd
Weird West: We Deal in Lead
Gothic Horror: Fulgar
Cozy: Mausritter

@kemotep Ever done a PCA on this? @grok
@kemotep @grok also why is dnd in superhero rather than high when actual superhero rpgs exist

@Reshirams_Rad_Slam

It’s “Superhero” Fantasy which now that I think about it there isn’t that big of a difference between High Fantasy and Superhero Fantasy unless you mean like capes and Marvel/DC stuff

@kemotep I mean that's the only possibility, since comic-style rpg systems exist.

ALSO greek mythology might be in-between those since they're epic-like. The fantasy genre seems very rules-like in comparison though obviously greek mythology from Homer is more fleshed out and refined than random epics.

@kemotep @grok Also I wonder if PF2 but traditions outside occult are banned is low-fantasy?
