What Is a Roleplay?

What is a Roleplay?
If you've ever watched a movie or seen a play, the players act out a role of a character, usually following a script.

A Role Play game is a similar concept, only you control the actions of your player within the confines of the world in which the character resides.

Take your Favorite book series, and imagine playing that character, and decide as that character what they would do in a particular situation, and creating the story as you go.

There are several methods of Role Playing Games across many mediums, Such as Choose your own adventure books, Video Games, and several other Pencil and Paper Role Play Games exist. One method of P&PRPGs is that the Game Master (Dungeon Master, Game Maker, World Creator) will either hand you a pre-created character, or allow you to build your own character.

Building your own character allows you more freedom to create history for your character such as:


 * How did your Character become a part of this world?
 * What Drives your character to do the things they do?
 * What is your Character's Likes and dislikes?
 * What do they look like?

Dice
Another Part of P&PRPGs is the Addition of the Random Factor, which Decides if you are successful or if you Fail a particular action, or get past a particular objective.

Annon T'yr used Dice for it's Randomization, like other P&PRPGs. The Base Dice are three (3) six-sided Dice. How most RPGs signify what dice are used is written like this:

3d6 < This means Three of the particular Dice of 6 Sides. The Amount is before the "d" and the number of sides of the type of dice is After the "d".
