Practical guide
Choosing among ten Genre Kits
An overview of ten literary profiles, from romance and romantasy to dark academia and cozy feel-good.
Short answer
A Genre Kit changes interaction emphasis without replacing shared rules. Ten profiles compose relationships, obligations, pressure, investigation, research, community, and world consequences.
What to do
- Romance and romantasy emphasize relationships, promises, and oaths.
- Mystery/crime and psychological thriller distinguish evidence, hypotheses, suspicion, and pressure.
- Speculative fiction, dark academia, and cozy feel-good foreground research, knowledge, or community care.
Practical scenario
Giving away the same relic may affect a journey and faction in fantasy, an obligation in romance, or become provenance-backed evidence in mystery.
Limitations
- Genre never authorizes breaking inventory, abilities, or confirmed facts.
- Cyberpunk, LitRPG, and post-apocalypse are useful settings but not separate profiles in the current ten-kit catalog.
Common question
Can the genre change mid-campaign?
The public choice is bound to campaign composition. An arbitrary switch must not silently rewrite durable genre state.
