About Role Playing & Games

What is Table Top Role Playing ???

Tabletop role-playing games (or RPG’s) provide a rich environment for group storytelling. Players adopt a role of an imaginary character living in a created setting, often fantastic or perhaps just outside their everyday world. Together with their team of fellow players and guided by a referee (or games master), they explore strange environments, encounter a diverse range of characters and creatures, and face challenges of all kinds on order to achieve a pre-determined heroic goal.

In addition to providing the participants hours of creativity and enjoyment, skills and techniques in role-playing have been developed over thousands of years. Theatre and performance disciplines across the world have explored the human condition through the use of role-play and performance, thrilling audiences and some of the most memorable stories in human history.

Today, role-playing techniques and games are now well-documented as educational tools for learning, critical thinking, compassion, and team bonding. Organisations are finding the value of implementing role-playing scenarios to develop their individuals and teams, through therapy, training, and exemplify the value of collaboration to achieve their goals and vision. 


What Worlds Can We Play In ???

Since the Birth of Table Top Role Playing, we have many game worlds we can play in. 

In Dungeons and Dragons (aka D&D) has several Campaign settings to pick from in the D20 5E or DND One system. 

There are many editions since 1977. 

Forgotten Realms is the most popular. Most content is released by Wizards of the Coast in this setting. 

Dragon Lance, Grey Hawk, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Birth Right, 

Many to pick from. There are also many other worlds that have released books converting to the D20 system. 

I will update this page later with that list. 

Other Table Top Role Playing Systems out there.

Shadow Run, Rifts, Gurps, CyberPunk. Path Finder, 

"At its core, Dungeons & Dragons is a group storytelling game. You can think of it a lot like a collective choose-your-own-adventure book. One player prepares a fantasy story of sorcery and adventure, then the rest of the players take charge of characters in that story and gather together—preferably around a kitchen table—to cooperatively tell the tale.

“THE BEST WAY TO DIP YOUR TOES IN THE ROLEPLAYING WATERS IS TO EXPERIENCE IT, TO PLAY IT, OR AT THE VERY LEAST, WATCH IT BE PLAYED."
