The aim of this article is to present how the creators of RPG games use the heroic fantasy genre in their games, as well as to analyze the perspectives on that genre among RPG fans.

When in the late 1990s the WWW entered Polish homes, role-playing games had already gathered many followers. The new medium became a perfect way to publish RPG materials. At first the popularizing function belonged to small RPG fan-clubs or author-run, enthusiast-made Internet websites. In time, this role was taken over by more or less professional thematic vortals, which also constructed a certain kind of identity of role-playing gamers in our country. Are we witnessing a new transformation today? The blogs are slowly ceasing to be associated with exhibitionist recordings of intimate experiences, and they are assuming an opinion-formative and socio-creative role. In the area of RPG, one may also observe the growing popularity of thematic blogs which realize the same goals as the aforementioned vortals. Thanks to blog websites, like Blogspot or Wordpress, making one's own blog has become easy for every user of the Internet. In these circumstances, does the burgeoning blogosphere have a chance to exert a more effective influence on the constituting of Polish RPG players' identities, as is the case in the West? Can it replace thematic portals?
