Mashups in genre fiction do not inherently create sanitization. Western movies without the supernatural elements have sanitized concepts of colonization and genocide, as well the vast majority of non-white cowboys. Meanwhile asserting games like....
I love the genre mashup. Give me all the Golden Girls/Cthulhus and WWII/Draculas you've got.

But I'm also looking for non-mashups. Sometimes it feels like the industry has an allergy. Westerns without magic. Drama without aliens. Detectives without Cthulhu.

The rarest tabletop genre is the simplest one. A call for more anti-mashups.

The way fine lines are drawn between OSR/NSR/FKR/trad/etc while the rest of ttrpg classification is tossed into "story game" – to be totally frank with you – feels trite and maybe even unserious.

Clayton does a great job diagnosing indie roleplaying's fascination with mashups.

There is one more reason I'd like to add to the discussion: the heightened atmosphere of mashups is often there to ease fears of 'roleplaying out of tune'. It takes the imaginative pressure off, so to say.

On a related note: if you're playing a game that's in a specific genre or is built on a particular trope...for the love of GOD play into it! I know it's fun to subvert tropes but like...it's so hard to play a game when people just want to reject the premise of the actual game.
It's on the player to figure out why they want to stick around!

I just finished up a campaign on Start Playing so casual reminder that I've GMed 60+ different systems, and you can book me to run games for you if there's something you've been DYING to play but can't find a GM for.

Imagine what a fun holiday gift that could be for your friend group!

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
