What is a "role-playing game"?

A role-playing game (RPG) is a type of game in which players assume the roles of fictional characters and engage in storytelling, often with a set of rules or guidelines. In RPGs, players typically make decisions and take actions based on their character’s abilities, personality, and goals, influencing the direction of the game. These games can be played in person with physical props or cards, or through video games. Examples of role-playing games include Dungeons & Dragons, where players create characters and embark on adventures, or video games like Skyrim, where players control characters in a virtual world.
