Where the heck did you get that definition?

A RPG doesn't have to have dice or chance nor be fantastical adventures.

The definition of Role-Playing is exactly that, playing a role. Role-playing does NOT have anything to do with dice or chance, D&D yes but that's a fanstic medieval RPG not Role-playing itself. Role playing can range from D&D to simply acting out what would happen if 2 plumbers got together or even not so rated PG-13 stuff between you and your GF.

Role-Playing <> Nerd with dice.


As for RPing in PS i would love to but not many are into it. If i meet some peeps in game who play the part of a Lt from wherver and not some 20year old from New york then i might join-in.

I recall the dev's saying that you can't talk to members of the other empires anyways, so you could only do so much if that's true.

No, i wouldn't think you could talk with members of opposite factions...why talk when you can shoot? I'm thinking more about roleplaying with team mates. I don't like the word roleplaying. People have a tendency to assume nerdiness or DandD whenever that word comes up (i know this because i used to be one of the people that made that assumption)

yeah some people are seriously misguided, D&D isnt the only rpg, what about final fantasy, no dice there....

and i also have made that assumption before...... i also have played D&D (ahhhh curse the thought) and can honestly say its only as nerdy as the people playin it.... players with imagination are quite amussing (for instance i lit a donkey on fire and made him run into a huge orc, all on the spur of the moment)

D&D was the third lamest RPG ever


Planetside has always reminded me of Renegade Legion. Now there was a good roleplaying game.

I play AD&D (3e now, used to be 2e but we changed) and some of the whitewolf games, and very few of us are nerdy. Haters. Roleplaying power. On a note if you wanna get wierd go find some Larpers.

I don't know about Role Playing. I'm not sure I want to have to say "Shazboteth" instead of vgs.

This is another stereotype, RPing does not = speaking in "thou"s and "thee"s.

Surely if we're roleplaying we wouldn't be charging the enemy gates getting riddled by bullets.

Who the hell wants to go through that painful death thing for a base you'll loose in a few hours?
