Nah np ;3 Role playing game is a game where there is some setting, like a world and rules how your characters, their abilities etc. affect the world. You usually use dice to decided the outcome of events and your characters have stats like intelligent, appearance, strength etc. which you increase by leveling up character by gaining experience through sessions. There is a rulebook that has all those things explained and based on it you create your own character. One player is a Game Master, they are like the gods of the world, they create how it looks based on setting, create neutral characters and act for them and basically create a story for other players so they can play and interact in this world. And all this is basically in imagination. The original idea was for sever people to gather, create their characters and then through regular sessions progress in game. Some stuff depends on setting, but basically the idea is that you make your own character you can "role-play" and experience a unique story through them. I guess like writing a book or playing a game but where you can do literally everything. You can also play it over chat if you are unable to meet in on place how it was in my case cos we were all from different countries. Playing like that has its cons and pros though.

woooooow, That reminds me of stranger things Anon ! @A@ anyways, wooooow thats so intersting its like, before there was technology you could actually use your imagination to create some really cool stories and twists as aa a group! ah the power of imagination ;3 I have a feeling I participated in a simuler thing in a chat once! But we were assigned characters from the fandom we picked (it was creepypasta at the time so I got to be slender man XD) it was quite a fun experience! Though probably not as cool as create your own character into a completely new world....ahh the beauty of birth XD !!

And later it was adapted into normal video games, but clearly the trade off was that it wasn't truly unlimited anymore and you couldn't role-play your character any way you want. And then later those "rpg elements" got popular and everyone started to shoehorn them into every kind of game, so rpg become more know for having stats and lvling your character up rather than the whole "role-playing" it.

Yeh thats what really gets me muddled ටᆼට cos nower days there are some many rpg maker games but I hardy even know what that ment becuase i only knew about the good all way to roleplay through chats and stuff, so thatnks for clreaing that up for me! >w<

The game we played was called Vampire Masquerade, so we were basically a bunch of vampires hiding in current times. My character belonged to clan that can shapeshift into one chosen animal and I choose cat... cos I love them 8D Seriously thought, I just got a idea for character that was pretty detached from world and cat-like from nature so once she was turned into vampire she just realized she prefer to lives her life as a cat than a human and so she did. That was her background and the session picked up from the moment she meet rest of players and was forced to go with them, but you get the idea ;3

oooohhh such a fancey name ;3 and the setting sounds so cool too i almost wish i could join in XD ! Now I'm really interguied by the whole idea of role play heh, it sounds like a fun thing to do with people =w=

Also funny fact, I never really named her cos I suck at coming up with names and I just left it for later, so for entire time I just had her character sheet named Kitty. And all others players adapted to call her Kitty before we started so once we did, they were so used to it, they never asked her for her name. Well they did later once I mentioned it and I was going to answer "I forgot", cos she spend like 30 years as a cat so she pretty much forgot all about her past life and it did fit into her character, but that was still kinda funny and lame way for me to avoid naming her xD

heheh well that makes sense, plus when refering to a cat it only feels right to call her just "kitty". I mean after all simplicity is the key >wO So you where one of us all the time! you sneaky Kitty! >w< hehe. and ahaha that is a pretty funny way, how you just gotta home this topic doesnt come up again, ..ever O-O ''my name is a mystery OK betch'' XDD

Oh, Katanagatari! I loved this show! I know it is based on light novel and that it is very dialog heavy, but I liked the main characters interaction so much I totally didn't mind. And the show looks beautifully and has one of best soundtracks I ever listen too. I still listen to it regularly. And of course I liked the plot. Except for 1 confrontation, to me the entire series was just a masterpiece. You totally should watch it when you can and we can talk about it then! Also funny fact, I was watching it as it was airing and it was airing monthly, because the idea of the show is that since start of first episode, the episode + time between episodes, takes 1 month so by releasing it monthly (all episodes did were the double length, but still) you will spend the same amount of time watching as it took the characters to complete the story. I thought that was a really unique and interesting way to air/promote anime.

ooohhh @//w//@ sounds to me like you really enjoyed this anime, it must be very good then! I remember getting to the second episode after which i stopped for some reason, but maybe i just didnt get into the story yet, ad its pretty funny how fast he said he loved her in the first episode so i'm intersted where it leads XD Maybe it was also the 50 minuet log eiposdes that put me off because i like to watch stuff in short snippets =A= but I'm good see through that and watch it! thanks!
