What is an RPG?
|
Role playing games are games where players assume the roles of fictional characters in a fictional setting. Players discuss with each other what their characters are doing within the game, either through speaking in third person or speaking as the character would in a first person point of view. Tabletop role playing games usually have a system of rules that govern whether actions succeed or fail, these rules usually involve rolling a dice of some sort. The players characters receive bonuses to these actions depending on the nuances of their character that they can add or subtract from their die rolls in hopes to succeed.

What is required to play?
|
IMAGINATION! Imagination is the key to make any RPG a successful and enjoyable experience. You will also need a rule book, some other people, and dice if your game system uses them. Playing a tabletop RPG is a lot like having a conversation at the table. The person running the game will let all the players know what situation your characters are in and it is the job of the players to use their characters skills and imagination to defeat the enemy, escape the doomed temple, save the village from a dragon, or any number of things! Your imagination is what limits the potential of what you can do in role playing games.

Where can I play?
Anywhere that people can congregate is a great place for an RPG. Games can last however long your group wants to play for, so if your group is going for a longer game, comfortable seating is a must have and we have plenty of space available for groups of all sizes! If you would like to play and you don't have a group, there are options available for you as well! There are organized play groups everywhere, and we have two main groups that meet at Firefly Toys & Games.
