ROLEPLAYING GAMES

In a Roleplaying Game (RPG), players portray characters in a fictional world of shared imagination, guided by a Game Master (GM) who devises the setting and presents the characters with challenges they must face to advance the story. The possibilities are as wide as the scope of the players’ imaginations; rules give the game structure and outcomes are resolved by chance, typically by the rolling of dice. This simple formula for shared, narrative gameplay — the GM describes a situation, the players decide how their characters will react, the outcome is decided by a structured test of chance — has been used to launch countless campaigns through an infinite variety of fictional worlds. Ask yourself where you want your imagination to take you and you can find a roleplaying game to take you there while bringing your friends along for the journey.
