Whats a role-playing game?
Christ, you don’t know nuthin’, do ya? Like Dungeons & Dragons, a role-playing game allows you to create a character, like a character in a movie or TV show or novel. The character exists in a world created by a GM or Game Master. He’s like the referee in a sports game. You and your friends are the players. Each player has a character. The GM creates the world that the characters exist in and he plays all the other extra characters they meet. For Complete Mafia, you and your friends create the main characters in a Mafia crime drama and the GM, like the director of a movie, sets the stage for the drama to happen. Depending on your die rolls, your decisions and the GM’s ability, there are many ways that the drama can unfold. It’s sorta like bein’ in a movie, only you don’t know the end. Good things and bad things happen, make sure the bad things don’t happen to your character, huh?
