Interestingly, a few years back with D&D 4th Edition, there were a lot of new players coming from the video game side of the house. And not just the stereotypical nerds. As a friend lamented once, "You know, I get that you play these games. But why are my frat brothers playing D&D?"

A lot of popular RPG video games are either based directly on a tabletop system or get a tabletop system made for them. In the latter case, it's often an easier game to get into (the Dragon Age RPG is a good example) than some of the more standard tabletop systems. And then there's Cortex and Cortex+ which exists pretty much just to turn movie/tv shows into RPGs.
