I'll be including 'transmodiology' in my thesis -- I didn't intend this to be the only platform for persuasion. I'm working on narrative/ludic agnostic terms for my PhD, for the very reason (and others) you cite. I like the fact that transmodiology works on so many levels: traversing media, traversing genre, arts types, rhetoric and so on. It can be invoked by those looking at entertainment, those not and so on. I think it espouses the particular lens that some of us are viewing things with now. Hello Kim!

The word rolls off the tongue a bit like a mix of gelatine and treacle, but I suspect its the sort of thing that could catch on if you pitch it in the right context. I like the idea behind the word - I've been reluctant to adopt the mantle of a either a Ludologist or a Narratologist because I suspect my work relies on a good understanding of both, as well as some sound pedagogy, so some sort of transitory paradigm seems more appropriate.
