Role-playing | Role-playing is an activity where the "player" assumes (plays) the role of another personality/ character and/ or in some theoretical situation. | ||
It's similar to acting (on stage or in film), but unlike predetermined course of action and behaviour, | |||
role-playing 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 simulation (existing or fanatsy), where the players are supposed to stay "in character", | |||
i.e. make decisions rationalized from the point of view (limited knowledge) of the character assumed, not oneself in real-life. | |||
There are many {{tag|games}} dealing with this theme either as board/ classical face-2-face social games, | |||
or as computer games (both single- and multi-player, see {{tag|MMORPG}}). | |||
