Now Wizards of the Coast has decided that this is a more politically correct way of saying Role Playing Games. So, don't be surprised if you start hearing about the Pokemon Adventure Game and it has nothing to do with the old text adventures. I believe they called the new Dungeons and Dragons (3rd Edition) an Adventure Game. (Don't be surprised if they come up with yet ANOTHER name for it not shortly afterwards, look at collectable card game, trading card game, and now they call it expandable card game.)
