Body Paragraph
In our latest episode of The Wizards Respite Sanctorum, my cohost Zach and I (Ash) delve into the diverse world of tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) genres. We uncover hidden subgenres and share our personal favorites, both from the perspective of players and game masters.
With our conversational style, Zach and I unveil our top three TTRPG genres, discussing what draws us to each style of gameplay. Whether we’re embarking on high-fantasy adventures or navigating post-apocalyptic landscapes, we explore the unique dynamics and storytelling opportunities that each genre offers.
If you’re interested in the different types of TTRPG genres, I have a couple of articles you should read over.
“TTRPG Market and Sales Trends across Genres” takes a close look at data scraped from the most prolific TTRPG marketplace on the Internet, DriveThruRPG. In the article, I take a close look at how genres compete against each other in terms of sales, popularity, and content saturation.
In the article “A Guide to TTRPG System Styles: 5 Types to Explore” I take a big picture look at different core rule system genres. This focuses on the style of game play different system support. For example, fast-paced and high-energy or narrative focused gameplay’s use completely different mechanics because the goals of the game are different.
