Role Play, simply defined, is acting. Acting, as a character that you either create or pick from pre-created characters (NPC's). In some settings you determine vital characteristics of your character, in others, it is predetermined. You set your mind into this character, and play it out by improvising the characters' moves.
The action of roleplaying goes well beyond gaming and plays a role in many everyday situations as well. Of course the most obvious example of roleplaying is seen on Television or in the movies, where the actor takes on the role of a character. Yes, acting is indeed also roleplaying!
Lying to your boss at work... Yes, acting is indeed also roleplaying! little risky, lets hope you dont get caught.
We are going to use this month as a workshop month. Perhaps it will bring is all together to have more fun this month and a diffrent look at the game all together. Roleplaying is a game of make-believe, with the addition of a specific player designated to adjudicate the outcome of all the actions in the game. I will open the floor for you all to discuss what roleplaying means to you and how we can change things.
