Roleplaying is a game where 4-5 human beings sit around a table and are interacting with each other. The game called adventure is lead by an AM (Adventuremaster) who tells a story and is playing villains and NPCs (Non-player characters). The other people called players are interacting with the story of the AM. Players participate in great adventures and dangerous quests taking a role of a hero. A band of heroes can seek for treasures. in mysterious dungeons infested with monsters. This is a game of imagination which consists of many things: storytelling, social interaction, war game, dice rolling. The possibilities are endless.
