RPG’s
Each individual player is playing a character, not unlike in a movie or play. They have a character sheet which has stats which depict the speed, health, strength and intelligence – as well as other characteristics of the character they are playing. But, the players themselves make the decisions about that their character does – or, attempts to do.
The GM/director describes the setting/world and what the players/characters encounter as they adventure along in the “story”. Conflicts occur, usually considered to be “combat” and other encounters. The GM lays things out and describes things to the players – the players then tell the GM what they are attempting to do – which can range from fleeing, hiding, fighting or other actions. The players then roll a die to determine the results of their attempts.
Settings for the adventures can vary – just like movies! You can play a jedi, a knight, a wizard, a pirate, a jet pilot, a superhero or a multitude of other characters in any number of worlds or settings!
Role playing games are fun, and a great way to spend time with friends. They do require imagination, though you can use maps, figures and other assorted gaming aids to mark the location of characters, map out the setting, place the monsters, supervillains or other bad guys – and generally you can make them as intricate, or as simple to play as you wish.
