RPG stands for “role-playing game.” In an RPG, players typically assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting, make decisions and take actions that determine the outcome of the game. RPGs often involve elements of storytelling, character development, and progression, where characters can earn experience points and level up, gain new abilities, and acquire new equipment. RPGs can be played solo or with multiple players, and can be tabletop games, video games, or live-action role-playing games.
