070 - What is an RPG?

Listen Later

Joe talks with James and Jason and together they try to determine what exactly defines an RPG. This is what they came up with:

  1. No winning/losing condition
  2. Open world/freedom of movement
  3. Open decisions
  4. A unique character to be played
  5. Motivations are internal
  6. Adjudication method (usually GM)
  7. Character Change
  8. A world that changes in response to the characters

    9. Jason is the host of The Nerds RPG Variety Cast: https://nerdsrpgvarietycast.carrd.co/
