How about just Humor? I'm trying to avoid combination themes, and Novelty is not so much a theme itself but a category for leftover themes that are not as common.
Sometimes Science Fiction and Fantasy are blended in one setting
In that case, a game could get both Theme:Science Fiction and Theme:Fantasy.
and other subgenres can be included like Horror and Superhero. Perhaps the overall theme can be Speculative, with those four (to start) as subcategories.
While we might also include Horror and Superhero as themes, I don't think there will be any benefit to lumping them all together as Speculative. Although they are interrelated themes with some overlap, I don't normally think of the literary or cinematic genres as all belonging to one super category called Speculative.
I do have a couple of things in mind that would be RPG-themed, but they fit more in with Crossovers than the actual genre, and I think most others along those lines do as well. I think Theme:Crossover:RPG:[game] would work.
We already have a Crossover category. Would a Crossover theme serve any purpose that the category does not? And is Crossover really a theme or just a relation some games have with other games?
