A tabletop RPG (role-playing game) is a type of game where players create characters and embark on adventures in a fictional world. Players typically gather around a table, using rulebooks, dice, and character sheets to guide their actions and decisions. One player, known as the Game Master (GM), narrates the story and controls the game world, while others interact with it through their characters. These games often involve collaborative storytelling, where players work together to solve problems, complete quests, and develop their characters over time. Popular examples of tabletop RPGs include Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, which have established rules and settings that players can explore.
