What kind of gaming does your group prefer?

* historical
* sci-fi
* fantasy

JimDuncanUK31 Jul 2017 3:51 p.m. PST

I give them a choice, biased by troop availability.

Just now it is proper historical (Peninsular War), last time it was sort of fantasy (Belgian Congo), time before was proper fantasy (Warmaster).

Skeets Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 3:54 p.m. PST

Primarily historical though SciFi has recently made an appearance at last month's game nite.

Historical

peterx Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 4:59 p.m. PST

Historical with some Star Wars, some post-apocalyptic and some fantasy for good measure.

47Ronin31 Jul 2017 5:01 p.m. PST

Started out all Historical, then some GMs/players branched out into Fantasy and SciFi.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 5:03 p.m. PST

Historical.

Personal logo Dentatus Sponsoring Member of TMP Fezian31 Jul 2017 5:11 p.m. PST

SF and Fantasy.

Doug MSC Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 5:12 p.m. PST

Historical.

Syrinx031 Jul 2017 5:18 p.m. PST

All. Sometimes historical dominates with occasional rpgs. At the moment it's rpg fantasy and pulp with random ancients. We might bring back 40K for a change of pace in light of the new system.

myxemail31 Jul 2017 5:22 p.m. PST

Primarily historical

Bashytubits31 Jul 2017 5:24 p.m. PST

Primarily historical with a dash of fantasy and sci fi.

Historical..

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 5:51 p.m. PST

* historical
* sci-fi
* fantasy

not necessarily in that order.

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 6:16 p.m. PST

What is this "group" thing of which the Editor speaks?

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 6:27 p.m. PST

Almost all historical

Very rarely sci-fi; I think the last time we did it was Dinosaurs eating time-traveling Nazis

Mooseworks831 Jul 2017 6:44 p.m. PST

My solo-wargame buddies and I like all three.

Cmde Perry31 Jul 2017 7:42 p.m. PST

Yes

Though it might be said that the order in which you posted the options is likely the order of preference. As we play board and card games in addition to miniatures, "abstract strategy" might be a fourth category.

Lone Star Historical Miniatures (LSHM) club here in Texas – we are probably 75% historical. But we do play other: LoTR, Terminator, All Quiet on the Martian, …..

"My Gaming Group is Primarily…"

In the pub, drinking beer and swapping stories of who screwed up the most over the past 5 decades.

Personal logo Doctor X Supporting Member of TMP31 Jul 2017 8:02 p.m. PST

Historical with some fantasy

PrivateSnafu31 Jul 2017 9:46 p.m. PST

…made up of grognards.

Nick Bowler31 Jul 2017 10:32 p.m. PST

I have several groups I visit semi regularly.
- Historical
- Historical (WWII and later)
- Historical (mainly skirmish games)
- Fantasy, with some Historical and a fair chunk of boardgames
- Boardgames with some board wargames.

Mine is a drinking club with a gaming problem :0

skippy000101 Aug 2017 1:22 a.m. PST

All types-from cards to boardgames to roleplaying games to video games.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP01 Aug 2017 1:27 a.m. PST

I would say science fiction, then historical, then fantasy.

We don't play much Warhammer, but is it science fiction or fantasy?

GildasFacit Sponsoring Member of TMP01 Aug 2017 2:30 a.m. PST

Historical as a group but some members dabble in other areas.

Dynaman878901 Aug 2017 3:48 a.m. PST

Historical but Gate of Antares is being played disturbingly often.

ACWBill01 Aug 2017 4:54 a.m. PST

All Historical but covering many periods.

Tom Reed01 Aug 2017 7:07 a.m. PST

Mainly historical but with some other genres included.

advocate01 Aug 2017 7:10 a.m. PST

Historical.
With a sizable minority playing a variety of board games.

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP01 Aug 2017 7:47 a.m. PST

Almost all historical. We've become a bit fragmented since our FLGS closed and folks go their own way with the other topics.

Roderick Robertson Fezian01 Aug 2017 9:22 a.m. PST

…In my mind.

TMPWargamerabbit01 Aug 2017 9:51 a.m. PST

Historical only

Russ Lockwood01 Aug 2017 1:04 p.m. PST

The monthly group is almost all historical. The other group is a mix.

Old Contemptibles01 Aug 2017 2:08 p.m. PST

Historical only. With just a couple of malcontents.

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP01 Aug 2017 2:42 p.m. PST

Whatever I set up for them. Most of the scenarios are historical. Second is modern civil and military engagements, which may be (recent) historical or current hypothetical (i.e., events contemporary law enforcement and military organizations plan for).

Occasionally, the historical scenarios will be played with fantasy or scifi figures. F'r'ex, this year we played Cinco de Marso with VSF ERB figures because I gave away my Puebla figures and hadn't replaced yet.

Tgerritsen Supporting Member of TMP01 Aug 2017 4:42 p.m. PST

Wait, you only have one group?

I have a few, some like historical, some like a Sci fi, and some fantasy.

Some play minis only, some rpgs and board or card games.

I play them all.

SultanSevy01 Aug 2017 7:01 p.m. PST

Fantasy.

Personal logo x42brown Supporting Member of TMP02 Aug 2017 5:06 a.m. PST

I think of it all as fantasy.

Fantasy & Historical about equal, plus some SF.
