Abstract

My project was intended as source material to aid in a role-playing game. A role-playing game is an avocation activity involving two or more people, with one person playing the role of a game-master (GM) and the rest playing the roles of characters. The player characters (PCs) interact with the world that the game-master describes to them. Players talk to the GM and describe what their characters are doing, while the GM tells the players what their characters observe in reaction. Through GM and player discussion a story develops. This describes the most common format for games labeled “role-playing games”.
