Role Playing Games?

jbbarker1947 · Post by **jbbarker1947** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 9:24 am

Since I don't know everything, I don't need to. Seems these days, I am married to someone who does. Anyhow, you can enter this in Google:

define:rpg

define:hyperbolic

PS: Don' tell her I said that. It could very well have an adverse effect on my sex life.

jb this is the definition

RPG - A programming language for minicomputer mainframes such as the IBM AS/400. RPG began as a program to generate reports--as you could have guessed from the name--but is now a full programming language that is widely used.

im still confused

Your Highness, you are correct. However here in the Garden, it is Role Playing Games.

but how do you play, there is no screen with characters in which to do battle, or is there?

I don't know. I don't play. Well, not that game.

It is not like playstation or something like that, but there is a screen once you have selected your character. You go to the battlefield, and fight your opponent. You start with the first one, because the other ones will beat you badly first time. It is not really interactive, but 2 people can fight each other. The figures do not move around or anything like that.

Liz, I myself am very trusting. I have been known to be quite gullible.

Better than being cynical, though.

As a military wife, I can tell you that rpg means rocket propelled grenade.

Or role playing game.

If you combined your daughters' birthday bashes together with the wedding reception you could have a real doozie :wah:

Whenever you decide, may it go well for you.
