Today's Critical Thought looks at the difference between WRPG and CRPG design. CRPGs were originally designed around pen and paper systems and focused on tactical combat systems. WRPGs of today are more about the storytelling and less on the design.

This has led to an interesting three way debate between JRPG, WRPG and CRPG designs. I talked about the evolution and what's happening today in the CRPG and WRPG market.
