| | Computer role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Computer role-playing games (CRPGs), often shortened to simply role-playing games (RPGs), are a type of video or computer game that traditionally uses gameplay elements found in paper-and-pencil role-playing games. | | | Influenced by console RPGs, a large group of young programmers and aficionados began creating independent CRPG games, based mostly on the gameplay and style of the older SNES and Sega Genesis games. |

| | 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. | | | Fundamentally, this article is an attempt to identify what it's going to take to be a player in the RPG category in the years to come. | | | What adventure games lack - and this is a critical point - is the capability for players to grow and develop their characters, and to affect, if not the outcome of the story, than the way in which the story unfolds. |

| | RPGamer Editorials - RPGs need stricter definitions |
| | These games are not RPGs, but are often mistaken for them. | | | Strategy games are a sub-set of RPGs which focus entirely on battle strategy and tactics. | | | Many of these games are then played and enjoyed by gamers everywhere under the guise that the game is an "RPG". |

| | A Parent's Guide To Role-Playing Games |
| | Most RPGs, with the exception of only a few, emphasize playing the "good guys," making the majority of them about as harmless as your average game of cops and robbers. | | | 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. | | | RPGs allow you the chance to, for a time, play the "leading" roles in an adventure. |

| | Are story focused RPGs dying out? |
| | 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. | | | i think it's enough to define RPGs in relationship and in opposition with action games and strategy games where story and even "world" may have a place but a not so important one... | | | i've seen a lot of rpg's being advertised as having a good storyline, only to falter on the other aspects of the game. |

| | The Escapist - FAQs - The Myths About RPGs |
| | 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. | | | The magic used in RPGs is entirely "make-believe," it exists only in the game world, and NEVER causes any effects in the real world. |

| | RPGFan Editorials - March 26, 2002 - Online Gaming Woes |
| | So even though innovations to game play are required to allow for a good game, there are still systems that need to be left intact to create the true feel of an RPG. | | | And this innovation usually provides for some of the greatest games in the RPG world. | | | Rather I would like to point out that RPGs are still innovating without varying from this cookie-cutter storyline. |

| | Single player RPGs are, as the name suggest, played by one person. | | | 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. | | | If you're interested in actually trying out a mud, a good place to find one is The Mudconnector which hosts an index of hundreds of them searchable by theme, keywords, type, features, and their policies (For example, whether killing other players is allowed in the particular game). |

| | This "double-teaming" also usually took out the tank's vision blocks, so if the tank survived, it was blind allowing the RPG gunners time to reposition, reload and reengage. | | | Their standard drill, when traveling in an armored personnel carrier and encountering Angolan guerrillas with an RPG, was to immediately begin driving around the guerrillas in an ever-widening circle. | | | Since they lacked the anti-reactive armor PG-7VR tandem warhead, the first gunner would hit the tank to blow a hole in the reactive armor and the second and third gunner would fire the kill shots at the exposed area. |
