#Genreless
2026. Hopelessness sells. Dystopia sells. Nastiness sells. Genres sell. If you're an author so many conversations you have with people in the publishing world hammer this home.

But I want to continue writing genreless books containing hope so I will continue writing genreless books containing hope.
Just finished Everything Will Swallow You by @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social . Just a delightful read, full of hope and love and a way with words that constantly surprised me. I'd never have picked it up normally as it's not in my usual genres and I'm so glad I did!

“Uhuh, ‘genreless’ is it? I’ll mark that down as pop/rock.”

Seeing a book review spending time worrying about what genre the book is and sighing gently to myself.

Derrida & Ronell: "every text participates in one or several genres, there is no genreless text; there is always a genre and genres, yet such participation never amounts to belonging.”

There should be a genre of "genreless" games. A good genreless game is good because it has unique ideas that make it different from everything else. At the same time, it is a perfect realization of that idea, and/or that idea is difficult to replicate, so it does not start a genre.

Your favorites?

This movie is truly genreless and I mean that as a compliment. I’m at the act 3 break and cannot guess what the next 30 minutes will bring.

Oh, rest assured, I am absolutely one of the people who enjoys and espouses genreless engines. But all the time spent championing them has revealed that they get very little purchase beyond people who are specifically into them. At best, you get fans of something they enabled.

Sacred record.

We covered #BubbleGumCrisis on #Genreless during our anime run and I still love this series (parts of it). That theme song still kills it! I've run so many one-shots of this game!

Billboard

“Right Place is one of the richest albums released in 2024, and cements RM’s place on the vanguard among similarly genreless artists like Tyler, the Creator, Kali Uchis and WILLOW.”

Hell yeah! Folks, if your want to get into a rad, genreless ttrpg with all kinds of wild tools for folks who love to tinker with systems, you need to check this out.

This is where I mention that I have a video that...well, frankly just scratches the surface of Cortex!

Two counterpoints:

1) Genreless engines do have their proponents, who appreciate their flexibility in that they can quickly (albeit roughly) be made to fit a premise.

2) Good mechanics and good premises are both fine, but a mechanic that has the right mouth feel for its attached premise is better.

Someone asked for my writing CV yesterday. The only thing they knew me from was Harlem Unbound & Haunted West, & I realized I haven’t shared it in forever. So here you go! I’ll update it this week. I’ve written across a whole spectrum of genres, and honestly? I love living genreless. #writerlife

Trying to assemble a comprehensive list of genreless RPGs. Here's what I have so far:

GURPS
Savage Worlds
Fate
Cypher

Cortex Prime has one foot in the list; I'm not sure whether to think of it as an RPG per se or as a toolbox for MAKING RPGs.

Any I'm missing?
