7: FAMILIAR
RPGs are often a mix of the familiar and the singular. D&D had to rename Hobbits among others and drop Cthulhu from its list of gods. One of the clans in the Vampire family is literally named after the film it’s drawn from. There are licensed and unlicensed games for a wide array of settings. This blog is named after a Buffy game.
It’s a great way to play with things you love. One of the classic descriptions of the appeal of RPGs is getting to choose what to do in a given situation, like whether to open the door in a horror story. How would you handle a familiar story?
