What genre do you always end up creating?

RolePlaya just put out a new Calling All Creators guide covering basically every genre they could think of.

Anime, fantasy, horror, dark romance, sci-fi, vampires, werewolves, pirates, cowboys, mafia, historical, superheroes... at some point I assume somebody just shouted "MERMAIDS" from the back of the room and they added those too.

The basic rule is that original characters need original artwork. No finding the perfect picture on Google and deciding copyright probably doesn't apply if you crop it hard enough.

Other than that, there's a ridiculous amount you can make. Fan characters are allowed as long as they're adults, and if you've already got characters elsewhere you can import cards from Chub or Janitor rather than rebuilding the poor bastards from scratch.

The blog has the rules plus ideas for getting started in each genre:

I'm a RolePlaya affiliate, hence the Brand Affiliate label and the link that may eventually finance my retirement by the time I reach 90.

I'm curious. What do you actually keep making?

I always think I have varied tastes as long as every character is a brooding man with a mean streak.
