RPnarrative genres

Our three genres are hopefully meant to make your roleplay choices a little simpler and more straightforward. Although we don’t intend to limit you, it’s preferable that your choice reflects the feel of your story to an adequate degree. The stylistic nuances of your story that aren’t represented by your choice of genre can be explored in the Aesthetics section.
