Yesterday I made a thread in hope of finding a specific RPG for every genre or theme. The results where disappointing. We've had >Post-apocalyptic survival - Apocalypse World >High fantasy - Pathfinder yawn >Supernatural Teen Drama - MonsterHearts >Post-cyberpunk - Eclipse Phase >Adventure Time - Adventure Time which I've had a look at, and is clearly inferior in creating an Adventure Time-like story to Kingdoms of Ooo >Superheroes - M&M >Swords and Sorcery - Barbarians of Lemuria >Realistic sword and sorcery - Blade of the Iron Throne
Among others, I'm missing >Space opera >Dystopian Sci-fi >Near future Sci-fi >Urban fantasy >Detective Noir >Spy Story >Scooby Doo Mystery >Disaster survival >Regular Teen Drama >Western >Horror Survival >Gothic Horror >Crime Story >....
Can you fill up my list Veeky Forums? Is there any game that you would replace on the list?

This is entirely my fault, I forgot to add the disclaimer I put in last thread. >State an RPG that is perfectly designed for that genre. No "GRUPS applies to everything"-bullshit, be specific.
Landon Robinson
I didn't apply GURPS to everything you ignorant slut.
Nicholas Hughes
You also didn't propose a game that is specifically designed for that genre, you mentally impaired whore.

Samurai Drama - L5R
Noah Scott
I like the idea. Not to mention that having a cheat-sheet for my gaming impulses comes handy.
>Superhero I'd like to nominate Wild Talents for the Superhero games with MM. MM is a good universal system fo superheroes, but wit it's universality it can easy fill in a high-fantasy game. While Wild Talents is a bit more gritty. Although Silver Age type madness is easily possible with it
>Western I hear Dogs in the Vineyard is good for that.
>80s action / Kung fu movie Feng Shui 2
>Urban Fantasy Chronicles of Darkness?
>Scooby Doo Mystery Monster of the Week?
Zachary Gutierrez
Well to be fair gurps fits every setting, doesn't fit every setting perfectly.
Dominic Martinez
It's also clearly besides the point. It's asking a sommelier what kind of wine would go with a meal and getting the answer 'champagne goes with everything'.
Zachary Cox
That's not besides the point. He's clearly recommending champagne.
Samuel Butler
>Space opera >Dystopian Sci-fi >Near future Sci-fi Alternity.
The last game TSR ever published and an underappreciated gem.
Isaiah Fisher
But then he's be a bad sommelier. Precisely as recommending the same game for every situation doesn't make you a fun person to talk about RPG's with.

Oops, fucked up Space Opera.

I've never personally played Corporation, so I didn't feel comfortable mentioning it. Heard good things, though.

You mean doesn't fit any setting perfectly

Dogs in the Vineyard is only good if you want to play as a Mormon
