This site is devoted to roleplaying games. So what is role playing?

There are many answers to this question, but I have written a short RPG piece that attempts to answer the question of what roleplaying is, or not. You will have to decide whether the answer is satisfactory for yourself, but there are other considerations to take into account here.

Gaming is a hobby for most of the people who play role playing games and other such games. RPG games are very interesting, have a lot of creativity and imagination that has gone into the creation of the adventures for the role playing experience. Many times the person who runs the game, called the Dungeon Master, GamesMaster, Storyteller, or any other number of titles, has gone to great lengths to research one or more aspects of the adventure, also called a scenario, that he or she is about to run. Some fans devote way too much time to playing online rpg games, but this is equally true of all hobbies where it turns into quite an obsession.

One of the most positive aspects of the role playing games is that it is much like a social game, very much involving interaction between players and allowing those who play to develop their social and cultural skills. Free online rpg games teach rules, they teach a form of etiquette that is unique to role playing online (but which translates well into other settings), and they teach the ability to think on one's feet and to deal with unexpected situations. There are plenty of other positive aspects of role playing games that one could talk about, but there are also the negative sides. I will discuss the negative aspects in the 'Issues' section.
