From fending off an attack by bloodthirsty pirates to delving into dank caverns, roleplaying games allow you to explore and experience things you probably don’t want to face in real life—or to approach topics from the perspective of characters who may be very different than your actual self.
This shared experience is intended to be fun for all involved, but RPGs can put characters in life-or-death crises, intense emotional situations, or traumatic environments. Whether it’s body horror in a scary game, violence against children or animals in a fantasy world, flirty, romantic, or sexual relationships in any setting—or numerous other challenging scenarios—the line between fun and awkward, difficult, or downright unpleasant can be difficult to identify, and varies dramatically from player to player. Mature or controversial elements can and should be a part of many RPGs. But how do you know what topics to include or leave out of your games? Consent in Gaming By Sean K.

D&D Compendium - Newbie Guides. D&D, in two words, is Collaborative Storytelling. It's known as a Pencil & Paper Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TTRPG). The Dungeon Master (DM), sometimes called the Game Master (GM), is the person who conveys information about a world - environment, characters and dialogue, creature actions, and sensory details - to the rest of the players, who all control a character (Player Character, or PC) who exists in the world the Dungeon Master is describing.
The characters in the world the DM/GM creates are known as Non-Player Characters, or NPCs. The players and their characters have free will, plus a set of abilities their characters can do based on their chosen Class. A PC might be a magic-slinging Wizard, a brawny Fighter, a sneaky and crafty Rogue, a wise and supportive Cleric, or maybe a charming Bard, among many other choices. The game is usually played episodically, with multiple sessions of gameplay so that a complex story can unfold.
