"Do you play ONLY historical or ONLY scifi/fantasy games?" Topic

What it says.
"Imagi-nations" is historical for the purpose of this poll.

A: I only play historical games.
B: I only play scifi/fantasy games.
C: I play a bit of everything.

Any clever variation of "Akshually all our historical gaming is technically fantastic in nature" will be submitted to the lizard men for extermination when the reptilian-revolution happens.

C.

SF is the lion's share. Then Fantasy. Then Historical. (WWII)

C. I like both. HOWEVER I keep them strictly segregated. I like SF/Fantasy, I like History (I have a BA degree in History!), but I don't like to mix the two, so no FREX Weird War II stuff (WWII is interesting enough without zombies or werewolfs!).

Damon.

C. Most Historical; some SF, a few Fantasy

A.

Very much C.

C. although I lean more towards Historical most of the time.

Kind of with Garand in that I prefer the two to be sort of strictly separated though that's purely personal.

C, of course.

But you probably knew I was gonna say that.

And I bet you'll get very few responses of B.

John, I think the response is "well, he would say that, wouldn't he?"

C, but leaning heavily toward historical. My fantasy armies tend to be funny-looking medievals, and my science fiction a way to play moderns without being overwhelmed by the rivet counters. (Say what you will about Napoleonics gamers being uniform-obsessed, but we do NOT go around insisting on different firing stats for Charleville and Tower muskets.)

And as with several others, I don't like crossing the streams. My Napoleonic French are not going to find Baba Yar's hut in Russia, nor my WWII Germans resort to zombies. The problem is that once you start on that, I never know how much of what I already know is true. Better a clean slate.

C.

And I for one welcome our new Lizard Men overlords!

EDIT: it is worth mentioning that I will gleefully mix and match historical, sci-fi, and fantasy.

C but I mostly A

D. Yes

C. Mostly Sci-fi and fantasy, but I also play horse & musket imagi-nations.

D. I play a lot of everything.

A- when I actually do play anything!

E: I play as much of anything as I can

A

That said, I have played a few sci-fi games over the years but only board games and role playing. Have not done any this century.

A.

Everything.

And other genres.

C for me :)
Oh and it can be mixed up … just like me ;)

Only History.

A: I only play historical games.
B: I only play scifi/fantasy games.
C: I play a bit of everything.

What does / mean? I play a lot of science fiction games, but almost no fantasy. I also play historical games. I guess C is the most correct answer.

Glenn – I lumped together fantasy and scifi into one.

Non-historical would have been a better term, but I wasn't sure if it'd be as clear then.

A.

And I bet you'll get very few responses of B.

Here on TMP, probably.

There's plenty of scifi/fantasy gamers out there, but TMP is definitely angled towards an older, historical gaming crowd.

C, but like a previous poster they are pretty separate. Mostly historical but I have a VSF Mars project, a little Dragon Rampant, and some Galactic Knights.

It's gotten a lot easier to be a "blended" gamer than it used to be.

C

D. It's all Fantasy.

Bring in the lizardmen!

C It all depends

A

B if once in 10 years (if that) counts
