well, ill resign it to as you have put it above, a RPG exploration game. im
sorry for the confusion. (i was rather confused myself!)
But, i dont see how the IOM was a RPG. and, just because it is fun, i dont see
how IOM falls under "game"
I have not gotten any time at all the past three days to even post on here,
much less to CQ. but, ittle be coming soon.
so, yeah, CQ can be a RPG. concidering as it has a gamemaster, and only role
playing games (well, some others do) have gamemasters.
however, people keep getting confused about CQ being a WARGAME. just because it
has combat IN it, means that it has to be a wargame? to me, it would not be as
fun if all you did was stake out land.
you have to Protect yourself, your company, and your towns and citys from
gnomes, goblins and trolls, along with a bunch of other things like wild men
etc.
But, it is not combat based!
