Folklore theme Hot Take

Love it or hate it, it's a divisive theme. And I fear the ratings for the theme category will be divisive too. That's why I made this post. For a lot of reasons which we debated on Discord, folklore is not an ideal theme if you want to stick to real life cultures (not knowing enough on others's but not wanting to be forced to do on your own,...) but it becomes very very large if you wanna create something new. Basically no limits.

Still, I prefer the later option. So if folklore ends up winning, I say it : I encourage people who want to put some effort into the story/setting (not those who just focus on gameplay) to come up with their own fantasy/non-real culture and create their own folklore. Yes, I that's what we're planning to do and I encourage you doing the same. I don't want to play 100+ games on greek myths or werewolfs and I'll personnaly give a lot more points if you create something new.

My team and I will create a culture, its folklore and derives interesting story and mechanics from there. "Does it really has anything to do with the thème ?" Well. Yes. But maybe not what you expected from it. Yes, this theme has divisives expectations, so will have divisive ratings. I encourage you all to give good ratings (if deserved) to original folklores, in hope that people won't be afraid to do it because it "wouldn't fit the theme". No, it does.

But maybe folklore won't win ^^'
