You absolutely have defined characters (the Overlord's cringing minions), a built-in situation, it is totally a game where you play a role. Everything beyond that is doctrinaire semantics. | |
| Oct 19, 2010 at 8:04 | comment | added | aramis | Aye Dark Overlord tells you what you have to play. It's storytelling, but it's far less of an RPG than Battlestations, Everway or Car Wars... You have no defined character. You have only the cards that you have to thump other players with, and the ones that you pick from to "make your excuse." And it's not (usually) terribly interactive between players... | |
