tabletop RPG
A tabletop role-playing game (RPG) is a collaborative storytelling experience where players assume the roles of characters within a fictional setting. Using narrative, creativity, and decision-making, players describe their actions, often guided by a game master who facilitates the story and enforces rules. Players may use character sheets, dice, and rulebooks to determine outcomes and progress in the story. Unlike video games, these RPGs rely on imagination and social interaction, fostering improvisation and strategic thinking. Popular examples include Dungeons & Dragons, which emphasize storytelling, problem-solving, and group dynamics in a structured yet flexible environment.
