I am simply "testing the waters", so to speak.  I have a fantasy setting and adventure in mind and I have been looking for a forum to run it on.  Before I go into that, I want to get to know the people here first.

Few questions to start off on.

- Of course, as the title said, how saturated is the market here?  Is there "fantasy fatigue" or are people not as interested in a gritty adventure?

- Would anybody enjoy a combination of free-form and dice in their story-driven adventure?

- Would you join a RP knowing there is a strong likelihood that you will end up going through a few characters due to deaths?

- How much grounding, consistency and "realism" do you like in your fantasy settings?

- Could you bring yourself to play a (mostly) normal person in a land where magic exists?

- Did you like Game of Thrones but think to yourself, "Gosh, I wish more people ended up dying".

- Is Final Fantasy Tactics the best Final Fantasy?

Keep in mind that if you like romance then I'm probably not the best person to talk to.

Let's have a talk, shall we?

I don't think fantasy is overdone or anything. There is a ton of fantasy RPs, more so than Sci-Fi. I'm not sure on gritty/dark fantasy since most people here tend to prefer more high fantasy settings than anything else.

It depends on how you implement the dice system.

I presume characters will die to rolls, yes? Then see above. Though, I do prefer if the characters aren't ax'd for the sake of being killed, but rather for story purposes. Sure, a character can die here and there, but miss me with the GMs that deliberately work against the party as a murderhobo.

Anything works, though I tend to prefer settings that are more fantasy than straight medieval. Occasional magic usage or legendary/rare creatures appearing once in awhile often sounds more interesting than serf simulator while your wife dies in a bloody childbirth. Even fantasy allows for other races to show up rather than everyone being the same boring human.

Done it before, can do again.

Depends on season or episode.

Only one I've played, so I suppose that is a yes on my end.
