What's the difference between the adventure world and the fantasy world?
On Master of Lore, the different “World” categories you see on the website — such as Fantasy, Adventure, Literature, Horror, etc. — are simply genre classifications that help you browse the universes we’re gradually releasing.
They don’t represent gameplay differences or separate systems.
They’re just thematic tags.
What each genre means?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what these categories usually represent:
• Fantasy Worlds
Magical realms, enchanted creatures, mystical lands, epic quests, legendary heroes.
(Example themes: spellcasters, ancient prophecies, magical kingdoms.)
• Adventure Worlds
Exotic journeys, exploration, danger, survival, lost ruins, thrilling expeditions.
(Example themes: treasure hunting, perilous landscapes, mystery-filled voyages.)
• Literature Worlds
Universes inspired by classic books or literary traditions.
(Example themes: Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula.)
• Horror Worlds
Dark tales, dread, eldritch beings, supernatural threats.
(Example themes: Lovecraft, gothic stories, psychological tension.)
• Science Fiction Worlds
Futuristic settings, alien worlds, advanced technology, speculative societies.
• Mystery Worlds
Investigations, puzzles, clues, crimes, conspiracies.
• Myths & Legends
Gods, folk tales, ancient stories, legendary creatures.
Why some worlds appear in multiple categories?
Some universes fit naturally into more than one genre.
For example:
• Wonderland is both Fantasy (magical world) and Adventure (narrative journey).
• A future world could be both Science Fiction and Adventure.
• A Lovecraftian setting could be listed under Horror and Literature.
This overlap helps players find worlds based on what they are looking for — magic, mystery, survival, exploration, etc.
In summary:
• The categories are genre filters, not gameplay modes.
• A world can appear in several categories if its themes match multiple genres.
• This helps you explore and choose universes according to your preferences.
