Your turn.

>melee weapon/fighting style
This will depend on the game.
I like various straight-edge swords a lot, arming swords & greatswords to be specific, but if the majority of a game's foes are either resistant/immune to them (looking at you, D&D/D&Dlikes), it's going to make me miserable.
In terms of games, my favorite melee weapons/styles will retain effectiveness throughout the entire game without having to ply meta favor.

>ranged weapon
Same idea as above.

>monster
I like a variety of monsters.
To be specific, I like a game's bestiary to be varied in how it challenges different character builds, so that a team of specialized characters can handle most monsters that come their way.
My enjoyment of monsters comes from how they're handled in a given game, not from any one idea itself in a vacuum.

>magic spell
Same idea as weapons/styles.
Though I tend to dislike "city-buster" & higher spells universally, & I'm not a fan of long-distance teleportation, mind control, summoning, or interdimensional "gates" as a whole.

>character type
Any that can engage with a game's challenges effectively through cooperation with the team.
Suboptimal characters don't belong in games, & neither do suboptimal options.

>non-weapon item/gadget
Any whose utility is effective for what it describes, & doesn't require plying meta favor.

>type of adventure
Dungeon crawls & field exploration, with the caveat that there are little to no bullshit traps, & no "survival mode" mechanics like tracking hunger, thirst, barometric pressure, oxygen levels, happiness, etc.
I like fighting monsters & getting loot with a well-built team, & anything that distracts from that can go fuck itself.

>setting
Don't care, as long as the game has engaging mechanics as described above. We could be pink ponies firing gay lasers at gingerbread zombies, & I'd enjoy it if it had engaging combat.

>genre
Gameplay.

>adjective for your character
Don't care.

Hope this helps your analytics, parasite.

>melee weapon or fighting style
I like grappling, so my favorite weapons are often whips, harpoons, and hooked weapons like picks and axes. If you can't grapple without hands, then your system is objectively shit.
>ranged weapon
Slings. One of the oldest weapons in human history, dating back 9,000+ years. Ammo is everywhere. A skilled user can hit a target at hundreds of meters with as much kinetic energy as a glock. Return to monke.
>monster
Dragons. I like to slay dragons, play dragons, and lay dragons.
>magic spell
Righteous Fire, a homebrew spell that sets the user on fire and deals damage to himself and everyone nearby based on his HP.
>character type
Paladins, or any type of "magic" knight.
>non-weapon item/gadget
Rope. Although this somewhat overlaps with weapons, given the way I use rope.
>adventure/mission
Escort, rescue, or liberation. Especially when the rest of the world has gone to shit. Anything that makes the party feel like big damn heroes fighting against all odds to do the right thing.
>setting
The Dark Zone
>genre
science-fantasy post-apocalypse
>adjective
Quixotic

>science-fantasy
It's either scientific or it isn't.
Pick one.

>>97343098
Every game is fantasy.

>Favourite melee weapon or fighting style
Two handed weapons. Hard to choose between polearms or greatswords.

>Favourite ranged weapon
Bows, I used to go to an archery range on weekends to practice.

>Favourite monster
I don't really have one in particular.

>Favourite magic spell
I loved Hunger of Hadar in BG3, but I find its harder to use effectively in actual DnD. Maybe when I get to try Spirit Shroud or Shadow of Moil, it'll change.

>Favourite character type
Charisma gish is my favorite to play. Warlock is my favorite class.

>Favourite non-weapon item/gadget
Healing potions

>Favourite type of adventure/mission
Ones that require a bit more than simple brute force.

>Favourite setting
Eberron

>Favourite genre
DnD 5E is the only TTRPG I've played. The superhero one and Daggerheart have my interest so when I'm bored of DnD, I'll try one of those.

>Descriptive adjective for your character
Cunning, having high deception and high stealth.
