nnyKvestions, part the second.
It's more of a single question, actually, and I'm really hoping you can help out with this.
How do tabletop RPs work?
I know absolutely nothing. Are there character outlines, or do you create your own? What's the deal with all the fighting? Is there realm for creative play that's not so war-based? What is the aim of the game?
I realise that there're a hell of a lot of different games, so just tell me from your own experience, if you have any. What sort of game have you played? The more different viewpoints the better.
Especially if you manage to provide some sort of critique: What worked/didn't work in the games you've played? What could be improved? How much scope is good for improvisation?
I quite clearly have no idea. So if you could give me as much or as little info as you like, that'd be really good. And if you have any friends who RP, I'd really appreciate it if you could point them in my direction.
Cheers!
