RPG

RPG stands for Role Playing Game.

It comes directly from pen and paper role-playing games, such as classic Dungeons and Dragons or the British Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (from Games Workshop's famous franchise).

It often includes Wargames mechanics, with a strong fluff wise story telling.

This genre was sadly rarely ported on Amstrad CPC, as Adventures games were far more common.
