I don't know that the term "role-playing game" necessarily applies only to the Dungeons & Dragons style pen and dice game. Don't video games like Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls fall simply under RPG?  I would think RPG would be the broad parent topic with MUDs, MMO's, video games, pen and dice, etc, all underneath it. --[[User:Todd Coles|Todd Coles]] 15:09, 30 August 2007 (CDT)

:Yes. Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate, ''et al'', would properly be described as [[computer role-playing game]]s, but seeing as there are also 'pen and paper', [[MMORPG]]s, MUDs, [[live-action role-playing game]]s - it is probably best to have '''this''' page as a short general article and catalogue/disambiguation page.  I've asked a few people off-wiki what would be the best term to use for the games described on the current article (including a professional fulltime RPG author) and the consensus is to call it [[pen and paper role-playing game]].  I'll sort out the moves and new article after lunch :-)  [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 06:35, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Yes. Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate, et al, would properly be described as computer role-playing games, but seeing as there are also 'pen and paper', MMORPGs, MUDs, live-action role-playing games - it is probably best to have this page as a short general article and catalogue/disambiguation page. I've asked a few people off-wiki what would be the best term to use for the games described on the current article (including a professional fulltime RPG author) and the consensus is to call it pen and paper role-playing game.
