Pretend to be someone else in a world where the rules you know don't apply.
means A game where players control fictional characters in an imaginary setting, making choices that determine the story's outcome, typically guided by a game master and governed by dice rolls or mechanics.
from Born in 1974 when Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson combined tabletop war games with Tolkien's fantasy worlds and added the radical idea that one person (the dungeon master) could improvise an entire world for others to explore. Dungeons & Dragons wasn't the first roleplaying game, but it was the first to stick.

collaborative storytellingUnlike novels, the ending rewrites itself based on player decisions
character investmentPlayers spend months building personas they care about more than real hobbies
