I'm not a big role-playing fan I'm afraid. My last boss expected us to role-play in meetings to enhance our team spirit, or some such guff like that!
I like them too because players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.
So its kind of like putting on a play then?
Yes, simply put Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative through a process of structured decision-making or character development
Does role-playing typically have a script or is it ad lib? I've never watched a role-playing game.
yes they have. It would interest you to know that there is more than one form of RPG
What are some of the other forms? I'm quite intrigued!
tabletop role-playing game, action role-playing games are some other forms of RPG
