EroRPG
The term EroRPG is a weeaboo-style contraction of 'Erotic RPG'. It is used to refer to roleplaying games which are designed to appeal primarily or substantially to the prurient interest. This is not a popular genre, as most fa/tg/uys have little interest in roleplaying sex with the other fa/tg/uys they play with, and girls do not play RPGs to begin with (see No Girls on the Internet). Furthermore the books themselves tend to be low-budget, small-press, and extremely ill-advised. They are principally regarded as a source of lulz, OH GOD MY EYES, and PROMOTIONS.
Examples
- FATAL
- The Book of Erotic Fantasy (D20 Supplement)
- Nymphology: The Book of Blue Magic (D&D 3e Supplement)
- The Complete Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (AD&D Supplement)
- Black Tokyo (D20 Supplement)
- Zettai Reido ('Absolute Slavery')
- Rapture Academy
Please note that Poison'd is not considered an EroRPG, despite the fact that during playtests a group decapitated a cabin boy and sodomized his esophagus, gaining a mechanical benefit from the act. The same goes for HoL, despite the presence of an openly pedophilic character template.
Criticism
Several criticisms have been leveled at EroRPGs:
- They are against God.
- Nobody wants to roleplay sex when they could be having sex.
- You'll be roleplaying sex with your fellow Neckbeards. Ugh.
- You don't need rules to cyber.
- Rape is bad, mmm'kay?
- Aspergers: The writers of several of these books seem to be aware that other humans find certain things arousing (for instance, penises), but don't understand why. Their attempts at erotica are soulless and disgusting as a result. (See also: Shitwizard.)
- Most of them have terrible art, rendering them worthless as fapping material.
