What about Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Maelstrom? The Fellowship of the Troll 20:28, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
OGRE isn't an RPG -- it's a wargame (although, granted, there is an OGRE RPG supplement for GURPS). Dana 06:06, Jun 1, 2004 (UTC)
How good an idea is the list of genres? I have no idea where to place a game like "Sorcerer", and even a 'typical' genre-piece like "My Life with Master" (very much influenced by the gothic horror master-minion relationship) doesn't reside very happily within one category with "Call of Cthulu" and "Vampire: The Masquerade". It seems to me that these genres do not really put like with like.
I don't know where to put Yang-Yin 13, I wonder if it even exists :-P Flammifer 14:10, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rolemaster
Rolemaster is not actually one game, because there are different versions with very different rules (like AD&D 3.5). It should be subdivided into: RM2 and RMSS.
[edit] Fallout Series
Shouldn't the Fallout franchise be in the sci-fi section? It takes place between 2131-2231 and you get laser and plasma rifles and other futurristic stuff.
- (Complaint withdrawn - I didn't realize there was a P&P version of Fallout, and people tend to use this list for computer/console games.) Probably. It seems more appropriate to me.
[edit] Eden Studios
Any link to Eden Studios on this topic redirects to a British recording studio. There should either be a page set up for the role-playing game publisher, or a non-working link to the publisher itself.
[edit] Everquest
Whoever it is that is removing Everquest from the list, please stop. There is a P&P verion of the game and the link dircts to an article about it. Avador 19:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List_of_role-playing_games_by_name
The list currently at list of role-playing games should be moved to list of role-playing games by genre, and the list at list of role-playing games by name should be moved to list of role-playing games in its stead. -Sean Curtin 07:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- How about moving this to ..by genre, keeping "by name" at ..by name and having just plain list of role-playing games as a dab page? Then if we get, say, list of role-playing games by publisher we can include it in the list on the dab page.
[edit] Inclusion criteria
The current article has lots of red links and external links. I'm going to go over this list with an eye to the Wikipedia:List guideline and Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists). The relevent bit here being "Ideally each entry on the list should have a Wikipedia article." Are there any notable games that should be replaced if I've removed them? (Or not be removed if I'm slow.) - brenneman {L} 02:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Also, I should have been more clear here that I'd be removing too-long informational lines after the listing. The information is (or should be!) in the parent article. - brenneman {L} 23:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Table of contents
It's big and ungly now, thanks to my recent pseudo-improvements. Can anyone work wonders with some fancy TOC template?

[edit] The Riddle of Steel
L-Zwei, any reason why you recently removed The Riddle of Steel? I'm not familiar with the game myself, but the Wikipedia article certainly seems to suggest it's a fantasy role-playing game, so am just curious as to the removal. Craw-daddy 07:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A question
I am trying to find the name of an RPG that I played back in the 80's. It featured U.S. army "characters", and the setting was Europe after a nuclear war. The main idea was to return to the USA. I also think (could be wrong) that the time setting was around 2000 or 1999. It had modules and eveything! Any ideas? Thanks! 216.208.38.26 (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Tommy T.
