Name a well known Mythic or War FRPG that caused a trend.

I'd even take this higher level.

Can the thread even agree upon the 'trends'?

Its fairly easy

Name 3 RPGs of a similar genre with similar lore or mechanics.

For a "War" RPG, would that be something like the MechWarrior RPGs, Lancer and the 40k war based rpgs?

Also Heavy Gear, Mekton, Warhammer Fantasy?

I just think the "not a wave" styles deserve their own game examples.

How narrow do they need to be before they don't? Because I promise people can keep splitting those out until the end of time.

The genre are recognizable.

The games identified with them aren't

(Except for Urban which I ID WOD with first with Dark due to the anti tech natures of WOD kindred and werewolves).

You have to kind of define "trend" at least. Scion wasn't exactly lacking in fans.

For Mythic, Scion, Part Time Gods and Exalted?

Though one can argue something else is going on there given how many of those and the ones in the prior poster were mecha oriented.

The other groups got game examples. Why mention them at all if you're not going to provide any?

What style is Raven Gothic Horror Roleplaying in? What genre was Nexus: The Infinite City?

Believe me, I can very much continue if no game is to obscure not to deserve its own category just because of popularity.
