	Role-playing game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roleplaying games add a level of sophistication to this basic idea; unlike a child who just wants to feel like a cowboy for a few minutes, a group of adults in roleplaying game will generate specific characters and an ongoing plot.
		Games such as GURPS and Champions also served to introduce to role-playing games game balance between player characters; later, Vampire: The Masquerade and similar games served to emphasise storytelling and plot and character development over rules and combat.
		Such games often are structured as a straightforward "monster hunt", though the leading game of this style, Call of Cthulhu, also involves a great deal of investigation and clue-finding.

	Burning Void--Tabletop vs. Computer Roleplaying Games (RPGs) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		There are certain problems I've heard game masters (GMs) of tabletop, or pen and paper, roleplaying games (RPGs) complain about recently that seem to me to have one common source: the style of play they see in their "problem players" is a style of play that works in many computer roleplaying games (CRPGs).
		But in a tabletop RPG meant to more closely simulate reality, that monster is probably coming for the village whether the players feel ready for it or not, and if they dawdle and mess around the villagers are going to get quite upset about not being protected.
		This would be considered ridiculous by people playing a board game, and it should be the same in roleplaying games--yet while people explain the basic rules of a particular RPG all the time, they often leave out all the unwritten expectations and assumptions that go along with those rules.

		This category primarily covers what are often called tabletop roleplaying games (because they are typically played sitting around a table, with books and dice) but also includes its pen-and-paper descendants, live action roleplaying (where players dress up and physically act out their characters' actions) and gamebook roleplaying (system-based interactive fiction).
		Live action games can be compared to improvisational theatre, where each of the participants is free to act on themselves, guided by their interpretation of the character they are playing.

	Being a Good Sport in Tabletop Tactical Games
		In many tabletop games, the match is won or lost depending on force selection.
		After all, the object of the game is to stun and surprise your opponent with your tactical wit and clever use of your models, not to aggravate him by looking like you're making stuff up.
		Additionally, in games where facing is an issue, then the front or head or facing of each model should be explained to your opponent before the game starts.

		Early on in the design, I decided that in order for the game to work, it had to be "playable" in a reasonable amount of time (one sitting), and it had to keep moving.
