Category:Role-playing games is hyphenated on Wikipedia, but User:Glory consistently writes "roleplaying" in one word, unhyphenated. I don't know which would be less confusing, so I haven't automatically created the page for the category. Someone should, but I thought I'd bring up the subject before it happens and LQ has to delete another redundant category page... Using the RPG abbreviation would circumvent the problem, but make the category less self-evident. --Ide Cyan 19:32, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

Well, let's start with Category:Games and go on from there. I can imagine a structure like:
Category:Games
Roleplaying games (pen and paper) [D&D - because we have an article for Roleplaying games (Pen and paper)
Roleplaying games (live action)
Videogames [for both video & computer]
[etc. etc. - e.g., Strategic games, Board games]
other ideas or thoughts? This obviously isn't a comprehensive structure for types of games but we can flesh it out as more games are added. --LQ 06:39, 15 May 2007 (PDT)


D&D 3.5 uses roleplaying as do White Wolf's web site, and RPG.net. It seems to be a very common spelling used by gamers. (The dash looks wrong to me)

Also I tend to think of tabletop and LARP being subsets of pen and paper but that could be just me. Certainly I view them as more closely related to each other than ether is to video RPG's (Glory 09:53, 15 May 2007 (PDT))
