Anyway, I like a good fantasy story as much as the next guy. Fantasy isn't my favorite genre, though; I prefer a more modern milieu than vaguely Medieval times, and I'm not a big fan of urban fantasy. Still, I like playing through fantasy RPGs a lot, so I'll always have a soft spot for fantasy.

I wouldn't count them as the same. That's like saying Cartoons and Anime are the same thing, or Soap Operas and Crime dramas. Just because they look the same at a glance, doesn't make it true. But i'm sure there are some people more qualified than I to argue the technical aspects of why they're not the same.

They are not the same, but they belong to the same medium, which is what I was trying to get at. I honestly don't think it's much help to anybody to pretend that different genres or national styles are media to themselves.

By that logic anything on paper is the same to you
