I wouldn't agree with that... individual RPGs have vanished, yes, but several RPG paradigms still exist. Also, there's a question of how things withstand the test of time -- there are RPGs that have been out of print for years, yet still have followings -- I'd say that those games have stood the test of time, even though they were not commercially successful. Ah, well -- in this case, I will say I'm probably too close to judge. After 20 years of looking at RPGs, I see differences in fractions of a shade, so I would probably over-count. And besides, it's off-topic, and I have no wish to anger the Power That Be. :-) -- |\ _,,,---,,_ Travis S. Casey <efindel#io,com> ZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ No one agrees with me.
