| | What is Roleplaying? |
| | Roleplaying games have been accused of being "evil"; people who play roleplaying games go out and hurt or kill other people, or commit acts that are socially unacceptable. | | | Most of the roleplaying games that are on the market expect the players' characters to be good, heroic, and fight evil. | | | Wargaming turned into roleplaying, where players not only fought enemies, but acted out the roles of their characters, creating dialogue for them and histories detailing the character's birthplace, upbringing and what his or her goals in life were. |

| | The true meaning of roleplaying games doesn't lie in the underneath creativity of the person who creates the game or who referees a given session of the game in question, and it certainly isn't with the creativity of the players who create their characters. | | | Roleplaying games are social events, they bring people together in a small setting to explore the "What if...?" that's out there, and to play a character that they will neve be themselves in the real world. | | | "Roleplaying games may have *started* with Dungeons and Dragons," he says, "but they've come a long way from that."
