I just call them RPGs. Always have and always will.
Well said!
It's SOOOOooooooooooooo not worth getting into that "
what's the difference", & the "
What defines or precludes ___, from being called a ___, since ___ does this and that other ___ does that" - RPG debate/discussion/argument (read: personal opinions + hypotheses; really) about what RPG gets what prefix...and why
Tis the Internet, so...there will never be an agreement & there will always be argument about what any game should be called - followed by a list of bullet points of why (1 person) thinks so
Many of my favorite games could, easily, fall under the "
Strategy: Turn-Based" category and/or the "
SRPG" category...
...it's a fine line; much too fine & feint for me to waste my time squinting - looking for blurry little, trivial, unimportant, and meaningless differences & anomalies between the two...when I could, instead, be *
playing* them & let others think about (and try to convince yet more others why they're right:) over semantics
