I've been following a few Livejournal PBJ ad groups, and it's been interesting to watch the genres go by. Now, I suppose (nay, hope) LJ isn't a representative sample, but there are definite patterns. Most roleplaying is what I call franchise-based - set in somebody else's property. Harry Potter roleplaying is huge. Japanese stuff is popular... anime, video games, etc. D&D is sparsely represented, but the only other conventional RPG that makes any significant appearance is World of Darkness. It sort of makes me think of our local game store; it apparently sells a vast amount of Rifts stuff, but up until recently we'd never heard of anyone locally who plays. It's like there's a whole separate culture of roleplayers that never overlaps. -- Karen J.
