Category:Role-playing

Category: Role-playing — this category here on WikiIndex contains wiki sites about, or referring to 'role-playing', an  where the 'player' assumes (plays) the role of another personality / character and / or in some theoretical situation. It is similar to acting (on stage or in film), but unlike predetermined course of action and behaviour, develops a character being played and outcomes of situations played through in potentially any direction and is up to the player, not a director or script writer.

It can be viewed as some kind of world  (existing or ), where the players are supposed to stay 'in character', i.e., make decisions rationalised from the point of view (limited knowledge) of the character assumed, not oneself in real-life.

There are many  dealing with this theme, either as board / classical face-2-face social games, or as (both single- and multi-player, see ).
