I have to vote the way I did since that is what I spend 90% of my time playing it, but I love Traveller.

Really? I thought I covered all the bases on this one
What would the "Other" be?

I don't think it's as clear cut as all of this...
I like generic fantasy... though I will incorporate historical, horror, and even sci-fi into my campaign as necessary.
Horror... well... I *love* 1890's or 1920's era with a Lovecraftian influance but elements of this could be considered 'fantastic'.

You know. 2 & 3. or none of the above or all of the above. Or Mythology or S&S or high or low fantasy. Or Mongolian history. Or Vikings.
Well, you get the gist.

Ah -- you mean sub-genres. Well, I would've done a poll for that, but there is a limit on how many items you can have in a poll.
I'm not sure exactly what that limit is; but I once tried to run a poll asking what the best article was in Crusader 6, and it wouldn't let me enter all the article titles and there were eleven articles.

I voted fantasy, but second place would be horror. Although, I haven't played a horror RPG in eons.

I voted Fantasy.
It would be interesting to see how the sub-genres of fantasy fall out.

My favorite would be fan above the rest as CYBERPUNK, which IS science fiction but I don't play any other sci-fi games really. So I voted fantasy even though cyberpunk and post-cyberpunk is my fav.

I might have voted for science fantasy (a la Gamma World) had it been listed, but I went with fantasy.

This vote was hard for me. Besides Si-Fi I like them all. So I voted Fantasy, simply because it's more maleable.

I voted "Historical" but it is more historical/high fantasy. A touch of Horror at times.
I do enjoy playing Sci Fi but am a horrible CM for it.

Fantasy for me, nothing else really ever caught my attention.
