Welcome back. This part of the series will be primarily focusing on genres. So far I have [Action RPG, Board Game, Arcade Game, Third person shooter, MMO, Action, 4X (Civilization-like), 3D Platformer, Dungeon Crawler, Card Game, Text dungeon, Souls-like, Stealth, Rhythm, Survival, Sandbox, Shoot/beat 'em up, City Builder, Adventure, Puzzle, Fighting, MOBA, Turn Based Strategy, Real Time Tactics, Grand Strategy, Handheld, Walking simulator, Tower Defense, Miscellaneous, and Casual] as available genres. Let me know if I missed something, and I will try to get it added.
This is eventually all going to get compiled into one megathread for people who want gaming recommendations from Chapos specifically. Other consoles and genres will come in sporadic subsequent threads. Please contribute to previous threads if you missed them. This is meant to be an exhaustive list.
Expanding on your choice(s) is definitely a plus. Not everyone knows about or has played non-mainstream titles.
Also there are Too Many supplements so you really gotta lock down which ones your players can use
In my experience, you don't really have players trying to bring new books to the table, it's more that the GM has to set out what options are available beforehand (and that's part of the massive learning curve). Like, 99% of games won't even allow all of the Advantages/Disadvantages in the Basic Set, and those that do are probably just doing so for the novelty.
