Elaborate what do you mean by "the system". I can only guess if you're proposing a trope related to tabletop mechanics.

As always, the reason we have a page for one thing and not another is that This Is a Wiki and someone felt like creating one page and not the other.

e: ^ "The system" here means — to use an analogy, TabletopGame.Dungeons And Dragons is a roleplaying game system, while Podcast.The Adventure Zone is a particular game in that system. Roleplay.Dawn Of Worlds currently tropes a specific roleplay on TVT, but we have no page for the system of the same name.

^ I understand, but missed that Dawn Of World was a system as well.

If someone wants and knows more about it, they'll just have to make the page then, I guess.

I believe the Dawn of Worlds roleplay system should be troped on Roleplay.Dawn Of Worlds, perhaps with the TV Tropes roleplay under a second header.

^ If they can be troped individually, then they should have separate pages.

^So what would we call the TV Tropes roleplay?

Still Roleplay/? Couldn't the system be Tabletop Game?

The Dawn of Worlds system, if it were to be created, should be placed in the Tabletop Game/ namespace, as its a system designed for tabletop games (that it was used for a tvt roleplay is irrelevant- I've seen plenty of other tvt roleplay's that use tabletop systems like DnD or Paranoia as their base).
