Rpg Edit Meaning

1.

Rocket Propelled Grenade, you roleplaying geeks.

If you're in a combat situation and someone yells "RPG!", you're not supposed to take out and roll your dice.

2.

Short for "Role-Playing Game"; a game in which the player takes on the persona of a fictional character and has adventures with other characters in a world created by the Game-master, a sort of referee. Can be played with other people ("Face-to-Face" or "table-top"; also called "Pen-and-Paper"), or over the Internet ("Play-by-E-mail" or "Play-by-Post" games; this category also includes games played on IRC or via a chat site)

Not to be confused with computer RPGs, which are a different kettle of fish altogether.

I've been playing RPGs for the past ten years.

3.

(1) Rocket Propelled Grenade. Used in combat situations.

(2) Role Playing Game (tabletop). Game in which the player takes on another personality to have fun.

(3) Role Playing Game (video game, turn based). A game that is frowned upon by fans of FPSfor it's strategical approach. More easily described as a "Playable Anime".

(4) Role Playing Game (video game, active battle). Fast paced, can appeal to even FPSfans. I have personally proved this in 5 cases.

RPG stands for Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot

Translated, that means handheld anti-tank grenade.

The RPG does fire a rocket propelled grenade, but that isn't what the acronym stands for.

"Back when I was in army training, I learned how to blow up a tank with my RPG."

See rpg, big guns

5.

Rocket Propelled Grenade. It can effectively destroy any light to medium (maybe) armored vehicles. It is used by many countries that bought the blue prints from the soviets during the cold war, same story as the AK47.

Many RPGs are still in use by African and Muslim countries to this day.

It was the weapon that downed the Black Hawks in the Somalian incident during Clinton's mandate.

6.

Short for Roleplaying Game. Table top or otherwise that allows one or more people to assume a fictious alter-personality, or personalities, and live a story while having the ability to make choices to directly alter the experience and/or the outcome.

Not to be confused with most "Japanese console rpg's" or as the kiddies refer to as "RPG-Lite" games such as Final Fantasy, Wild Arms, Dragon Warrior, Secret of Mana, etc. Such games play on the sensationalizing of the term "RPG" to make a buck in the market and in all actuality offer no authentic "Role Playing" experience.

The most they can be described as is simply "interactive anime" or "pop up books with batles".

Isn't it ironic that 99% of console RPG's don't have any actual Role Playing in them?

7.

A Role-Playing Game is a game in which you create a character and have relative freedom in choice. The best RPGs are tabletop/pen-and-paper style, closely followed by those run on IRC channels, because computer RPGs are incredibly limited in choice due to the relatively small amount of information they can contain.

Contrary to popular belief, the more recent games in the Final Fantasy series were not RPGs as such, because you had very little control over the storyline, and the character. I'm not sure at this point in time what genre they were, but despite the level-up system, the games weren't RPGs.

Dungeons and Dragons is a perfect sword/sorcery style RPG, while Spycraft fits the bill for anyone interested in espionage.
