Are you implying slice-of-life rps are the 'bargain discounted movies thrown into a bin to rot forever and ever' of rps? ;D

All of RPG is that big ol' Walmart Bin.

Slice of life can be, I don't know, a Nicholas Sparks movie or something. >_>

I'm just saying that there's nation and tabletop etc, and slice of life is a pretty broad spectrum, that has a lot of different genres within. But yeah, tags would be good anyway. Like really good.

Nation and Table top are different style of play, not just a genre difference, hence them getting their own division (as by their nature they do not so easily fit into the free/cas/adv divisions that RPG uses). Slice of Life can easily be classified as one of those depending on the gm's posting requirements.

What Vanq said. Tabletop plays out like a board game with dice rolling and actual DMs and goes in sessions, or so the idea goes. Nation RPs are distinctly their own beast, kind of like Arena, where it doesn't fit comfortably in the Free-Casual-Advanced line of standards. The only thing separating Slice of Life RPs from say a sci-fi RP is less laser fire and adventures and more, I don't know, clock watching waiting for the weekend to start. Same standards apply to them, as do the formats.
