A role-playing game, put simply, is a game where one acts out the events of a (usually fictional) character within the context of a traditional game. They are not necessarily [[computer games]], though those are most common, as they were originally developed from the traditional [[table-top games]]. These [[pen-and-paper]] games, such as [[Dungeons and Dragons]] are played using a complicated ruleset and [[dice]] to help determine action which improve the realism or fun of the game.
