[QUOTE="billd91, post: 5455367, member: 3400"] I think my problem of this is: we already have it in various forms, but they all depend on how we personally define things anyway. If Rome is having fun with RPGs, then we have all sorts of road that lead there including Superhero games, Spy games, Cyberpunk games, Fantasy games, Science Fiction games, Horror games, etc. Do we include dressing up like furries? Host a Murder parties? LARPing? Miniature skirmish games? Some people might include those. Some might not. If narrow the definition so Rome is fantasy role playing, then we have D&D (in all editions), Fantasy GURPS, Fantsy Hero, Tunnels and Trolls, Runequest, World of Warcraft, etc. We're contending with what people cosider to be "fantasy" role playing. Does it include Vampire? Does it include Star Wars? Does it include Ars Magica? Some people might include those. Some might not. If we narrow the definiton so that Rome is D&D, then we have to contend with what people consider a "D&D" experience. I just don't see that we're getting to some place where we aren't already there.
