This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does hentai count as a genre?

Quote from: Elliot WilenThat sounds very interesting, although in general I'm not sure of the appeal of purely military RPGs...once you go there, I start to wonder why not play a wargame?

Not only that the lack on independence characters have as part military structure causes problems. If you do have military games they tend to focus on mercenaries or small special forces units that have more independence and not so rigid a command structure.

Quote from: David RCops & Robbers. I'm serious, how about tv inspired cop shows. NYPD Blue, The Sheild, The Wire , Prime Suspect - a little bit of gunplay, investigations, interogations, etc. No supernatural stuff, just good old fashioned cops and robbers. I'm sure, there are games out there somewhat like this, but I doubt there is any pure police procedurals (Hollywood version of course)

Not seen http://www.hogshead.demon.co.uk/ there Crime Scene stuff for D20 is probably what you are talking about. Protect and Serve for Cyberpunk was also pretty close but obviously in a near-future setting.

Well, in military games, there's carry. In sporting games, there's Contenders.

Does StreetFighter: the Roleplaying Game (probably the best Storyteller game published) count for the Sporting Genre?

I like the idea of playing part of a football team.

"I give a nazi salute to the Lazio faithful and stamp on his bollocks!"

Hmmm... that's a great idea actually.  You could handle it in a Pendragon-y way by having the actual games be the "winter phase" and then roleplay the different characters' social lives and attempts to break through into the England side.
