What should be done with the Tabletop RPG tag? I'd like a tag for art TTRPGs being played or stuff related too or implying that (Hard to word but something like this post #9300912 ) but alot of it is just art FROM TTRPGs such as this here post #8729779 or OF TTRPGS (such as think this here post #6363975 ) Not sure if it should be gardened, split, or what.

deprecate tabletop_rpg
playing tabletop rpg would be a nice tag to have. Deprecating tabletop rpg doesn't sound like a bad idea either. Maybe have a new "tabletop rpg character" tag, similar to virtual youtuber...?

These both sound reasonable to me.

I don't think this is very useful though; a tabletop rpg character is basically indistinguishable from any other original character.

I'd say it should be Tabletop RPG (Subject) as for example I'd count this art here despite a TTRPG not being played in it post #8388669
I created playing_tabletop_rpg.

create implication playing_tabletop_rpg -> playing_games
A TTRPG is a type of game after all.

rename role_play -> role_playing
On a related note, do we want to rename role play to specifically role playing?

There's a lot of weird stuff in this tag, like cosplays or sexual roleplay. Feels like we should have much bigger tags for a lot of what's being dumped in there.
Probably, and I was actually thinking of proposing a deprecation BUR after the rename one passes, to get the ball rolling on that.

And what is this tag for? I see that some playing tabletop rpg posts have this tag removed while a third of them have the board game tag. Does this mean that board game in practice includes tabletop rpgs (that look like board games) and tabletop game is for games that are not board game, tabletop rpg nor card game? If so it needs a wiki.

I removed tabletop game from those playing tabletop rpg posts because, to me, tabletop game looks like a "I dunno what this game being played is, but it looks like it'd be played on a table" tag. post #2104385, post #4800573, and post #7639971 are very clearly neither tabletop RPGs nor board games.
Board game currently defines itself as "A tabletop game that involves moving pieces around a board according to a set of rules." Of Battleship (game)'s 20 posts, only two are tagged with it. So clearly we don't have a tag for these sorts of games, unless we want to make tabletop game that tag, despite its sort of ambiguous name, or want to dump them under board game.

Tabletop game technically includes board games, tabletop RPGs, card games and other games played on a tabletop, but clearly here it's used as "tabletop games other than board games, TTRPGs and card games", because they're the minority. It just needs a wiki that reflects that.
There is also no way of tagging the physical tabletop RPG game itself. It's a bit strange how we have a specific playing tabletop rpg but no tabletop rpg, given that it's usually the opposite (e.g. board game + playing games, instead of playing board game). I don't mind them being tagged as board games.
