Whats Role-playing?
In a way it’s a tricky question; role-playing is more easily experienced than explained; if you’re curious enough to read this FAQ, why not come along and give it a go first hand? Nevertheless, here’s an introduction in prose. Role-playing involves taking on the persona of a fictional character and behaving as you think they would in a fictional situation. The character, usually your own invention, is described briefly on a character sheet, which usually has details of their physical attributes as well as a brief description of their nature. It is then up to the player to decide how this character would respond to the events and conversations portrayed by the GM (Games Master) and other players. In general, the setting of a role-playing session involves about 4-7 people sitting around a table or lounge room, often with bits of paper nearby. Playing the game involves mainly talking, however animatedly. Costumes, live action, plastic weapons, etc. are rare exceptions rather than the norm
