HQ is seeking reviews for RPGs. RPG reviews. Reviews of RPGs. Also non-RPGs.

I'm planning on adding a dedicated review subforum, and I'm looking to put some high quality content there. Only restriction is that it must be an RPG. Release date does not matter. At least high school essay quality/length, please. Screenshots are highly recommended.

Interested? PM me.

Ok, but hear me out: what if I want to review a non-RPG? I play a fair number of those. Can't we just have a non-RPG review tag or section? We already have a non-RPG discussion forum.

You will never be a real roleplaying game. You have no story development, you have no real quests, you have no main character. You are a tactical game twisted by nerds into a crude mockery of gaming’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your developers are disgusted and ashamed of you.

Sure, why not. I'd prefer RPGs, but anything is fine really.

forget it, if he says it’s not an RPG then it’s not an RPG. That’s how this site works.

It was reported for not being an RPG, which I concur with. It's a digital gamebook.
If enough people feel it's an RPG then I'll move it back, but I didn't feel like this was going to happen.

You seem upset.

I've been playing a lot of JA2 recently, so yeah it's not an RPG. You could build an RPG into the game as it is, no problem — but nobody did so it isn't.

I'll write a review if I play something worth reviewing, but I'm not playing anything until the end of the month
