New wave role-playing games are the heirs to what the old school role-playing games started. Some commonalities of the new wave are: * Narrative structure is just as important as mechanical aspects of the game * There is a strong tendency toward unified mechanics instead of numerous special cases * Options to depart from the central narrative are freely offered. * A raised bar in terms of layout, graphics, and editing.

Ancestors of the new wave include GURPS, Shadowrun, and Star Wars. The new wave begins in earnest, however, with Vampire:The Masquerade, notable for turning goths into gamers and gamers into goths.
