Role playing games (RPGs) come in different formats including tabletop/pencil and paper games, computer games, and live-action role playing (LARP). Tabletop RPGs are played with friends using dice and character sheets, computer RPGs are played on devices and involve quests in virtual worlds, and LARP involves physically acting out characters' actions in real life settings. RPGs allow players to take on roles in fictional worlds through storytelling and gameplay.
