Computer role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The representation of RPG elements in first- and third-person shooters is indistinguishable from the game simply incorporating a story with cut-scenes and traditional FPS problem solving, and developments to the incorporation of the genre's usual character building (such as getting better weapons). RPG gameplay elements can be found in real-time strategy games, first-person shooters, third-person shooters, and some other types such as massively multiplayer online games. These graphical RPGs often based their game systems on the various DandD systems used at the time, sometimes even displaying dice rolls, but it is not uncommon for completely different systems to be borrowed or created for use as well. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Computer_role-playing_game

Gamasutra - Features -"Remodeling RPGs for the New Millennium" [01.15.99] For the purposes of this article, a computer RPG is a game in which character development and character interaction take precedence over other factors and where each player's experience of the story is determined by individual choice rather than designer fiat. The first and, arguably, most critical decision RPG developers must make with regard to story is whether to use a branching structure or to tell a story in a more conventional, linear fashion. Any designer contemplating an RPG must take a stance with regard to all of these tools, even if that stance is to deemphasize one or more of them. www.gamasutra.com /features/game_design/19990115/remodeling_01.htm

RPG-7 The moving vehicle was harder for the guerrilla RPG gunner to hit and the soldiers were able to exploit their mobility and firepower.(23) Dismounting troops to advance on guerrillas while the stationary personnel carrier provides supporting fire is a good way to lose the carrier. Further, RPG gunners usually were accompanied by supporting snipers and machine gunners and an assistant RPG gunner carrying an assault rifle. When the Soviets moved through heavy vegetation in Afghanistan, they would sometimes walk a wall of high-explosive fragmentation rounds in front of the vehicles to keep the RPG gunners at bay--or at least to ruin their aim.(24) This is an expensive option in terms of artillery or mortar rounds, but it does work. www.g2mil.com /RPG.htm

RPGFan Editorials - March 26, 2002 - Online Gaming Woes Easily one of the most innovative magic-acquiring technique in RPGs to date, and yet one of the most often criticized, simply because gaining magic when gaining levels is an old, tired system that works and is almost universally liked. The key formula for a nearly perfect RPG is to create a few new, innovative systems and features that set you apart from any other game while still keeping certain systems true to the original RPGs. Likewise the key formula for creating a good RPG story is to keep intact the system that works (Hero-find heroine-slay villain-find new villain) and simply insert a unique twist when the moment arises. www.rpgfan.com /editorials/2002/03-26.html

RPG - Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher - Anti-Tank Infantry Weapon It is available in two versions, the standard unitary tube at a length of 950mm and the RPG-7D which can be split into two sections, measuring 630 mm when packed for transportation or airdrop. At the maximum range of 920 meters, RPGs self explodes (4.5 seconds from firing) and that's how the weapon is sometime used as a form of "artillery", spraying shrapnel over military installations, or slow, low flying or hovering helicopters. OG7V is a 2 kg, 40mm fragmentation warhead effective at a range of 350m with a kill radius of 150 m. www.defense-update.com /products/r/rpg.htm

The Escapist - FAQs - The Myths About RPGs RPGs often have a system of magic involved, and it is usually a form of fantastical magic, far-flung from anything found in witchcraft or the occult. There are some RPGs that have been designed to have a more "real-world" feel to them, and the authors have used actual occultic sources as their framework; nevertheless, one cannot learn how to cast spells by playing a role-playing game, any more than they can learn to swing a sword or ride a horse. Unlike other forms of games, RPGs do not usually have clearly defined winners and losers; rather, they are much more of an exercise in team effort. www.theescapist.com /faq_myths.htm

RPGamer Editorials - RPGs need stricter definitions Likewise, swords and sorcery is not necessarily a prerequisite for an RPG. Interactive story RPGs are a rather new concept to the world of role playing, but already the most popular RPGs being produced at this time tend to be of the interactive story type. Although most "traditional" RPGs have swords and sorcery as their key themes, that does not mean every game with swords and sorcery is an RPG. www.rpgamer.com /editor/1998/q2/062598nz.html

Are story focused RPGs dying out? a good rpg must have a combat system that is manageable and not a chore to learn, yet able to hold the interest of the gamer. I always thought of RPGs as games with a customizable character, a stat page and an inventory with a paper doll, so for me, BGandE is not trully a role-playing game. however, i do believe that the rpg segment of the gaming market is in a dismal state presently. www.larian.com /ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=RPGChatE&Number=188717&Main=186699#Post188717

A Parent's Guide To Role-Playing Games RPGs allow you the chance to, for a time, play the "leading" roles in an adventure. Some gamers go to RPGs because they are frustrated, bored, or unsatisfied with "real life." If you can find out if this is the case, you may perhaps remedy the situation. Parents who are dubious about the fantasy motif of many RPGs might find a comprimise with their gamer children by asking that they play the many, many RPGs out there which include no magic, such as Science Fiction games, mystery, or espionage games. www.geocities.com /TimesSquare/Dungeon/1257/parents2.html

GameSpy.com - Top 10: Reasons RPGs Suck Look, I tried to find a picture of some hot RPG babe wearing nothing but a couple inches of bearskin or something so they could put the picture on the front page and get people to click on it, but all I found were pictures from Jurrasic Park. Secondly, my hatred of RPGs probably stemmed from the fact that I got stuck 3/4ths of the way through NES Dragon Warrior and didn't even get past the sailing ship thing in Final Fantasy before getting my ass whooped. That being said, I'd like to present my terribly biased and totally inaccurate reasoning behind my distaste for role-playing games (RPGs, as they say on the street). archive.gamespy.com /top10/september00/rpgsuck

RPG LAND: You know those experts they refer to on TV? That's Us. After a couple weeks of downtime, RPG Land Standard is finally working again; meanwhile, the classics station is free of the problems it had a few days ago. Just arriving in stores is RPG Maker 3, and Orie's got a full review to give you all the vital details. By all rights, we should just delete and burn these entries, but we have big, soft hearts at RPG Land, and therefore have decided that the NIS America game giveaway is now OPEN to EUROPE. www.rpgland.com

Table Top Rpgs at Sciencefictionrpg.Com Some individuals imagine of a particular generic RPG as having advice on setting in addition to genre, yet that one does not. Related phrases are gurps to d20 to ad, free rpg download, the effects of video games on america role playing, online role playing games free interactive, and free rpg detective game. How anyone can confuse an RPG session with a particular religious experience, particularly something as heinous as devil worship, is beyond us). www.sciencefictionrpg.com /table_top_rpgs.html

Tabula Rasa: Roleplaying There's also the official Yseda archives (a commercial RPG group that ran live games in Sydney bushland in the 90s), and a few miscellaneous articles for a bit of fun. Here are descriptions of some of the games we've worked on, including a pointer to Mystical Locations, Kyla's on-line resource for the Unisystem (and useful for most modern RPGs, as well). Of course, we could probably double the size of the whole TR web site with notes, anecdotes and player handouts from our own campaigns -- none of which we figure would be very interesting to the public at large. www.tabula-rasa.info /Roleplaying

Console RPGs or PC RPGs ?? Poll and discussion - DevMaster.net Forums i think pc rpgs almost always are based on real pen and paper rpgs while console rpgs, as you said, most of the time follow the japanese style of rpg/adventure. I've always hated PC RPGs, mainly because they try to be so close to the pen and paper RPGs that people play with those DandD rules and all. My reasons for voting PC "RPG" over the console equivalent are that I haven't seen any Console NuHuGs (http://www.ishpeck.net/index.php?J=i...1+00%3A00%3A01) that I enjoyed. www.devmaster.net /forums/showthread.php?t=562

Console RPGs Articles Our look at the RPGs of 2000 continues this week with a look at Wild Arms 2, a fairly good game that lacks the polish and flair gamers have come to expect in their RPGs. Suite 101's RPG editor has one more to add to the list, and fans of the game might be shocked to find out what it is. Now that the Dreamcast's retail price has dropped to $100, this is the perfect time for RPG fans to invest in the dying system. www.suite101.com /articles.cfm/console_rpgs

Self-Revelation in Role-Playing (or Educational RPGs) The likelihood of self-discovery/self-revelation is, honestly, higher in the RPG activity than it is in more social or physical leisures, where you can often avoid or dismiss psychological stresses or the internalization of conflicting viewpoints with your own. Differently from the above, however RPGs are more highly focused on the pyschological/mental intersection in such a way that they point naturally to examination of such and, in fact, encourage it in a manner that other social, leisure activities do not. My eldest sons play female characters in RPGs and MUDs quite a bit (and have broken a few hearts, I think, when they inform other players that they are in fact guys). www.indie-rpgs.com /viewtopic.php?t=5562

Scifi-RPGs.com - Online RPG Games This online RPG focuses on a dark world full of competing vampire bloodlines, all fighting to be the ones to resurrect the Vampire King, recruit new members, and raise their own clan above the others. Free RPGs can attract players without having to pander to the 'market', because their biggest selling point is their price. These are some of the most popular free online RPG games available right now, and show the huge range of options that are appealing to both players and developers. www.scifi-rpgs.com

Jimmy's page : RPGs I have no particular interest in the other forms of online RPGs (I rarely play games of any sort, let-alone pay on a monthly basis to retain the option of playing them), but they do exist, for example, there are graphical RPGs such as Ultima Online, EverQuest, Asheron's Call, and countless others. The RPGs (both MUDs) I am involved with are Leber and Chronicles: Sunrise over Sallares (formerly QuarantineMUD). Single player RPGs are, as the name suggest, played by one person. www.geocities.com /jsmhess/rpgs.html

ntbmsg.txt Ms McKenzie has proved an able personnel executive in her former position, whether her appointment to such an important role in a hi-tech corporation is a shrewd move by the new majority shareholder or a sign of nepotism remains to be seen. The reworking of the building and the move were carried out by highly reputable firms, it is possible the leak (if any) was there, but very unlikely, they tend to be very careful about employees, after all their business is reliant on security and confidentiality. Another aspect is their importance: do they absolutely have to be recovered or would you rather have them destroyed than in the hands of whoever has them now?" "The other venue I'd like to investigate is the theft itself. www.btinternet.com /~pattipat/patsite/pbem/ntb/ntbmsg.txt

Anime Academy Lounge - 2d Rpgs vs 3d rpgs 01-07-2002 09:10 AM 3d, basically because almost all 3d rpgs have better cinematics and have better desin, detailed map and because 2d stuff is so old fashion...... That's the Kind of RPGs that have a better RPG feel to them, not just the run around and level up of many, many actual RPGs... 3D RPGs can be more deep, since you can rely on instincts, feelings and tones of the situation (For example, choosing the best cover, or attacking an enemy in a specific part). www.animeacademy.com /forums/printthread.php?t=950

IGN Boards - 16 bit rpgs FF7~ are good, but a modern-day version of shadowrun would blow them out of the water.If i want plots about the end of the world and shadow orgz, i'll read a novel thank you very much. i think there's two 16 bit rpgs that were the absolute best that no one ever mentions.

Dungeons & Dragons - The Business of RPGs - The Role of Computers in RPGs These are just the beginning of the vast accessories we believe will keep RPGs at the tabletop for years to come -- enabling you to forge new worlds with tools that help you map it out, stat out the inhabitants, and keep track of the spells and magic that bring them to life. We believe the current RPG experience can be made more efficient and satisfying by using aids such as Master Tools to help you create and shape your own game. Here at the global RPG headquarters of Wizards of the Coast, we have planned and developed for the future of roleplaying. www.wizards.com /dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/br/br20011230a

Quandary Forums: Are first person perspective RPGs a thing of the past? With the continued popularity of angled top view perspective RPGs such as Neverwinter Nights and Sacred, is there a place for the traditional first person RPGs of old? I personally think the success of the Elder Scrolls series and the Gothic series just goes to show that 1st person RPGs will live on. I was thinking of suing Bethesda over the fact that Morrowind ate up so much of my life that I failed my QBA final. quandaryland.com /ubbthreads/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/125/.../vc/1
