SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Dropping the metaphor then... what about RPGs?  Can any traditional RPG be used to create the same gameplay in a narrowly focused game*?  Can they do this as effectively as the narrowly focused game*?

* I can't remember if you like Thematic Game, or Thematic RPG or whatever. :)

Yeah, but try playing Top Trumps, or Apples to Apples, or many other "dedicated deck" games with regular playing cards. (Hell Jungle Speed is similar to Snap, but because of the dedicated deck, it's a very different -- and IMO much better -- experience).
