[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8482633, member: 6779310"] A few, actually. [B][I]Hybrid Wargame/RPG[/I][/B] (Classic) Car Wars (pre 5th) is both boardgame and RPG. Battlestations (by Gorilla Games) is also a hybrid. The designer states that it being both is intention Heavy Gear and Jovian Chronicles, in the editions I have, are both RPG and wargame in the same corebook, and fully interoperable for both modes. Explicitly stated as both RPG and TT Minis wargame. Many players, and most RPG sites, reject the RPG side of these games. It's worth noting that many early RPGs were essentially only combat rules (glares at Boot Hill), and even into the 80's...(Star Frontiers "basic game" is essentially counters-on-map combat. The "advanced game is where the RPG aspects get highlighted [B][I]LARPs[/I][/B] Most LARPs are ignored on most RPG sites, if not actively discouraged in the discussions. [/QUOTE]
