Paul Fricker Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 https://blasphemoustomes.com/2021/09/13/genre-emulation-in-rpgs/ Genre Emulation in RPGs This episode is our discussion of the role of genre emulation in RPGs. How do RPGs reflect the source material that inspires them? Should they even attempt to do so? And how do we even attempt to define genre? While we may not provide comprehensive answer to these thorny questions, they do at least act as springboards for some robust discussion.
