But I'm beginning by researching into the roots of video game role playing games. So what is the definition of an RPG? It is a game where players assume the roles of fictional characters and follow stories. Rather than being competitive, players generally have to collaborate by forming a party to make it through the challenges within the game's rules. These journeys, often done in weekly sessions, could potentially take place over a period of months or even years, though some players preferred single sessions. They are essentially forms of interactive story-telling, therefore computer games adopting their take on the genre is a natural development, especially with the increasing significance of narrative in games. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, let's look at an example of the old fashioend board game rpgs... Case study: Dungeons and Dragons? It sounds like the most logical choice..
