    I’ve found most RPG / CRPG games have really good subreddits. Most of time when I’ve needed to look up how a spell interaction works or how XYZ operations, the top search will usually lead back to Reddit (which is kinda a shame given how shithouse Reddit is now)

        Computer RPG. From TTRPG, table top RPG. Same type of game, with dice rolls and turn based (in general), only done on a computer instead of with a DM

        There are better ways of asking what something stands for if you don’t know.

        Also, side note, it’s very interesting how quickly your mind jumped to Chinese when nothing here is suggesting thst even.

          Given that JRPG is “Japanese RPG” it’s not too much of a stretch to assume CRPG would be Chinese RPG.

          My mind just did the same association even though I knew the meaning.

          If you remember JRPG has a J for Japan, it’s easy for your brain to go with C stands for Chinese, even if that doesn’t make sense when you really think about it.

          Also, side note, just chill out with the conspiracy theories. And actually give the guy the proper explanation of what the term stands for like the comment next to yours.

          The best and fastest way to get a correct answer is to post something wrong

          It’s not really “interesting”? The first time I saw the term, that’s what I wondered if it might be, because of “JRPG” and all the games that had been coming out of China recently.

          I think it is somewhat logical as there is literally an entire massive genre of “Japanese RPG.”

          There absolutely is something suggesting that: precedent. Though it could be Czech RPGs, Columbian RPGs, Cuban RPGs, or Canadian RPGs. Though Chinese RPGs would be more likely given the game Dev industry there and population.

          Also the fact that outside of the tabletop community, nobody calls video game RPGs CRPGs.

            The term CRPG is very popular, but it means something different than just RPG video game. Starfield is not a “CRPG” for example. Baldur’s Gate (all of them) are. It’s a conversion of table top RPG style to computers. If it’s supposed to reasonably closely emulate a TTRPG in video game format, it’s a CRPG.

          It stands for Corean RPG. As in North/South Corea.

          No, computer, as opposed to table top, which is the classic.
