  1. New player who bought several RPGs - where to start?

    For some background if anyone gives a shit (if not, skip to list below), I've been a gamer throughout my life of 25 years, starting out with console and progressing towards PC gaming in the last 5 years or so. I have never played any of the "classics" growing up, but I have played a few of what...

    RPG design should be about...

    When designing a role playing game, what should its lead designers focus on, and what should the money mostly go towards? Obviously you want some of all three categories, but what should get the most work behind it?

    Moonspeak Relics - The Recur of Origin Translation Project

    Why are RPG gamers more tolerant with bullshit mechanics?

    EDIT : PLEASE. READ THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. This is not a topic only about cooldowns. The new Contra rogue corps had the """"genial"""" idea of implementing cooldowns of firearms and everyone is hating it. Mocking it. Saying that is a artificial limitation that makes no sense only to force the...

    Incline Can RPG's still be RPG's in VR?

    Character skill will become less and less relevant the further the technology advances (up untill a certain point of course where simulating character skill becomes easier). Choices & consequences have a bright future ahead of them in VR, but isn an RPG still an RPG when it relies so much on...

    On Contingency

    On Contingency the hype on Player Agency is another symptom for the markets demand on more individual freedom in RPGs following a long-term trend. non-linear, later on environmental storytelling (show, not tell) and finally sandboxes became standard, although overall its simply branched...

    What constitutes an RPG - and what makes a game not an RPG

    This is my understanding. An RPG is a game where player agency is created through the game world responding to the player’s unique thought-processes, choices, and actions, resulting in a dynamic narrative. The “role-playing” in “role-playing game” refers to the player’s own thought-processes...

    Have you during your RPG gaming tenure acquired some sort of weird ass habits you can't seem to be able to shake off, despite of how nonsensical they may appear? For instance, I tend to reorganise grid inventories given the possibility, even if the items take up one (1) slot each, as if I were...
