What are tabletop roleplaying games?

Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) are story-based gaming experiences that can be played individually or collaboratively in a group. These games use a variety of mechanics to maintain a specific theme or atmosphere. Dungeons & Dragons uses polyhedral dice to randomize players' experience through epic fantasy adventures, whereas Dread utilizes a Jenga tower to maintain a growing sense of unease, discomfort, and instability. Players typically take on the roles of characters in the story, determining their actions in a world run by the GM (Game Master) , though some systems have no GM or can be played entirely solo. At their core, TTRPGs are cooperative storytelling games that allow a group of people to contribute to a shared story that can last a few hours, or span across months or even years.

Basic free rules for some popular TTRPGs:

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition

Shadowrun 5th Edition

Dungeon World SRD

Pathfinder 2nd Edition SRD
