VD made one of these some years ago: http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,198.0.htmlA suggestion on content (maybe this is already planned): It might be cool to have an overview / introduction of each subgenre of cRPG (blobber, isometric, open world, roguelike, etc.), along with a listing of iconic titles for each subgenre. Maybe this could be in the beginning of the book, before the individual reviews.
I'll add a comming soon section, with Grimoire. I a great way to make it always look updated.On that note, felipepepe, you should ask Cleve to write a page or two on the Wizardry series.
Hmm, yeah I can see how classifications can be problematic - since overlaps are inevitable, and no consensus agreement can ever be made on what belongs where. A game can belong to multiple subgenres - I can already see this issue in VD's post that you linked. The music world has the same problem with subgenre classificaion. I'm a fan of metal and it's ridiculous how many subgenres there are.VD made one of these some years ago: http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,198.0.htmlA suggestion on content (maybe this is already planned): It might be cool to have an overview / introduction of each subgenre of cRPG (blobber, isometric, open world, roguelike, etc.), along with a listing of iconic titles for each subgenre.

I'm a bit undecided if I should use it... I'm against classifications, so having a big article on sug-genres seems a bit weird. Perhaps one on the variety of RPGs that exist would be better, doing stuff like tracing the origins of many modern gameplay styles....
You're forgetting all the stuff like index, credits, introduction, articles, etc... but thanks.Also I did the math for your second choice and at the max of 400 pages the max amount of 2 page reviews you could do is 100 so that may factor into your decision as well.
Yeah I just realized that right as you posted that. I doubt I can help much with figuring that out then since the length for those will probably be decided later on. Also to add on to what I was saying earlier I would like to see more obscure games on here rather than just the ones most people know.You're forgetting all the stuff like index, credits, introduction, articles, etc... but thanks.Also I did the math for your second choice and at the max of 400 pages the max amount of 2 page reviews you could do is 100 so that may factor into your decision as well.
True though I was mostly talking about the "oddities" that are in the 300 list. Also perhaps the highlights pages could be for more unknown games that have a big influence instead of having them be for big games that already have a lot of information about them widely known already.With 210 games, I think some obscure games are going to make it.
I say go with the best and mention (or try to) how the series improved, or didn't, from then like what was added or refined.Another doubt is when to pick the best on the series or the first one... like Arena and Daggerfall, Dark Omen and Shadow of the Horned Rat or the Heroes of Might & Magic and Jagged Alliance series...
Those are easy. Wizardry I, IV, VI, VII and 8 all will have their own reviews. WII and III are just more of the same. Samething for Might & Magic, I'll cover I, III, Xeen, VI, VII and X. They are relevant and unique enough to deserve it.I think the major cRPG series like Wizardry and Might & Magic warrant having a few pages devoted to them instead of picking just one game in the series. Maybe like four pages for the series, with reviews of the most notable / recommended installments and talking about its evolution.
Ah cool - you got it covered then.Those are easy. Wizardry I, IV, VI, VII and 8 all will have their own reviews. WII and III are just more of the same. Samething for Might & Magic, I'll cover I, III, Xeen, VI, VII and X. They are relevant and unique enough to deserve it.
