Do you have a favorite system to run each genre? And if so, what do you like about them?

For example:

  • Sci-Fi: Stars Without Number
  • Horror: Call of Cthulhu

I pretty much hang around the Heroic Fantasy genre, and my thoughts on running it are very different from my thought's on playing it or otherwise. But Pathfinder 2e is definitely my go-to for running. Shit just works. I cannot express how much I appreciate the encounter budget actually being accurate instead of just a vague shoulder shrug like earlier systems.

As far as other genres go... I've run Scum and Villainy for sci-fantasy crime dramas, and it wins by doing absolutely nothing! I'm just not enough of a Sci-fi Greg to run more in the genre, heh.
