The Next TTRPG (nomenclature)

Scott Christian · Mar 14, 2026

ERPGs?
(Electronic Role-Playing Games)
SRPGs?
(Screen Role-Playing Games)
DRPGs?
(Digital Role-Playing Games)

Or perhaps we'll have to change the in-person to IVRPGs?
(Inter Vivos Role-Playing Games)

Playing a game in a room at a large table with other people present and no electronic devices? I don't know what anybody else calls that, but I will continue to call it "Preferred".

I suggest we call them: TTRPGs. We have a term, the hobbyists understand it, the industry understands it, people outside understand it. Just because the tabletop might be virtual doesn't invalidate it. I see no need to borrow confusion.
