Tabletop RPGs are CRPGs. They just have a human server instead of a computer.

People are computers that run only one computation: living.

Computers are not peoply enough. That's the problem with CRPGs.

I don't think the genre changes just because you've got different mediums.

The game experience certainly does, but it also changes based on a host of other factors so that's essentially non-unique as an argument.

I didn't vote because I don't feel like elaborating or explaining.

And books are movies except they use paper instead of film.

This is particularly true for flip-books.
