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.

Is this a 'Storygame'?

... And this thread just jumped the shark.

Good news though... sharks with frigging laser beams will be coming soon to a combat theater near you...

Just need to strap on lasers that work under water, or cool sonic weapons, and we are in business!!! Woot!

Interestingly enough, it's the conservationists, not the military guys that are teaching the sharks to hunt.

Well awesome, that just makes toiletloads of sense.  Because if there's one thing that has eluded sharks for two hundred million years it's the ability to motherfucking hunt.

Yes... Now they are being trained to hunt even better and select new prey.

Humans pretty much haven't been at the top tier of the shark's food chain. Yet...

In my day we didn't even give our sharks names until they hit level five. Kids today with their laser beams and their cool powers and their healing surges.

I am stealing the word "toiletloads," though. Very evocative.

I would be interested if the two people who voted that the Board game Arkham Horror was a storygame would expand on their reasoning. Not in a sense of being aggressive and shouty, but actually out of real curiosity.

Quote from: Cole;458434I hate to be a dick but the problem with this poll is for any given person a lot of these are going to be "I don't know this game."

Its not 'being a dick' if you're telling the truth.

The vast majority of gamers haven't heard of most or maybe all of those 'games'.

Really? They can't be that obscure. I haven't been to my games store in... wow, the better part of a decade... and I recognize about 90% of those titles (and have played more than a handful of them).

What's with the quotation marks around "game", anyway? Surely they're all games?

My point is that I've heard of most of those games but for a number of them I am not familiar enough with how they play to have an opinion. I doubt I am alone there.

Oh, yeah, that's valid and I'm in the same boat as you. I was more responding to Koltar's assertion -- which seems weird to me -- than anything else.

And, since there's no "I don't know," option, the poll's results will be scattered and uninformative.
