But what is an RPG (role playing game)?

Basically a role playing game is where you create a character and then you decide how that character will act. You decide where they are going to go, what quests they will attempt and what spells and skill that character will learn. RPGs are very popular because they allow people to escape the real world for a few hours and be someone completely different, most shy people when roleplaying will tend to create a confident loud character with alot of charm and charisma.
