A world straight out of a [[Role Playing Game]]. Some are adaptations of either [[Role
Will use some, if not most, of the [[Role Playing Game Terms]], but how many obviously depends on the writers.
Often set in [[The Time of Myths]] or [[Medieval European Fantasy]] with any technology being [[Lost Technology]] or perhaps [[Schizo-Tech]].
All [[RPG Anime]] fall into this category, naturally, but not all [[Anime]] set in a Role Playing Game Verse are [[RPG Anime]]. Compare [[RPG Mechanics Verse]].

Compare with [[RPG Mechanics Verse]].
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Bastard!!]]''
* [[Dragon Ball]]. You've got healing items ([[Hyperactive Metabolism]], especially Senzu Beans), techniques, weapons, armor which alters attributes (Saiyan Armor boosts resilience, Weighted Training Clothes sacrifice agility for more experience points), status ailments (fatigue, heart virus), races with associated abilities (Sayians can transform and get a power boost after a near-death battle, Nameks can regenerate, merge, and create minions at will), and ''power levels''.
* ''[[Dragon Pink]]'', much to Pink's chagrin, as the player playing the game sets her character class to ''slave''.
* ''[[Elemental Gelade]]''
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]''. Guilds? Check. Mission board? Check. Stat improving armor sets? Check. [[Expansion Pack World]]? Oh yeah.
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
* ''[[Legend Of Crystania]]'', which also takes place in Forcelia.
* ''[[Those Who Hunt Elves]]''
* The first [[Alternate Universe]] in ''[[
* ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''. Fuu repeatedly even [[Lampshade Hanging|comments]] about how Cephiro is like a roleplaying game.
* The realm of Lacroa from the ''[[SD Gundam Force]]'' metaseries. Based on a one-shot gag short from the original ''SD Gundam OAV'' series that featured the protagonists of the first three Gundam shows as characters in an RPG.
Line 30 ⟶ 32:
* ''[[The Tower of Druaga (anime)|The Tower of Druaga]]'' is a world in which people get together on a regular basis with stock RPG archetypes to invade the giant tower, some merely for treasure, some hoping to reach the top and slay the [[God Is Evil|evil god]] Druaga who created it.
* ''[[Persona 4]] [[Anime of the Game|the Animation]]'' keeps the date-change and character-stats screens from the actual game, giving it this feel.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12044591/1/Forged-Destiny Forged Destiny]'' re-invents the cast of ''[[RWBY]]'' as natives of such a world.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' is a direct adaptation of an actual ''[[Dungeons
* The fantasy series ''[[Guardians of the Flame]]'' has the college professor [[Game Master]] of a gaming group turn out to be a wizard from a fantasy world that operates under similar rules. He sends his players through once they've reached a certain point in the game to see if they can bring peace to his world.
** Or at least kill the enemy wizard who banished him to our plane.
* Novelizations of Role-Playing Game Settings fall here.
** ''[[Dungeons
*** ''[[Dragonlance]]''
*** ''[[Forgotten Realms]]''
Line 52 ⟶ 57:
*** ''[[Mummy: The Resurrection|Mummy the Resurrection]]'' novels
*** Various crossover novels
** ''[[Warhammer
* ''[[The Malazan Book of the Fallen]]'' as fitting, the setting was born out of ''[[Dungeons
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 65 ⟶ 70:
** ''[[Weregeek]]'' takes this [[Up to Eleven]] and has a dozen of individual gaming storylines set in distrinct RPG Verses and running parallel to the [[Real Life]] plot.
** ''[[Keychain of Creation]]''
* ''[[MSF High]]'' definitely qualifies, though it's not immediately obvious. Switches to the sister trope when characters become Inspired, a specific class.
* ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' is both this and an [[Adventure Game|Adventure Game Verse]], leaning more heavily towards RPG mechanics in the later half of the series.
** ''[[Homestuck]]'' also utilizes many RPG tropes once the game of Sburb starts.
