[QUOTE="Jackelope King, post: 2797880, member: 31454"] Wherever you want it to take place. Adding context would only serve to exclude roleplaying games on the fringes of convention, and that is not necessary. Adding the context of "with people around a table" would exclude groups who play on the floor or via the internet. Adding the context of "not video games" would exclude Neverwinter Nights servers, CRPGs, or MMORPGs, all of which are valid takes on the core concept of conflict facilitation and resolution. And it's Jack[b]e[/b]lope. Yes, I spell it with an "e" :p Then as an appendum to my previous post, a roleplaying game is an activity which utilizes a roleplaying game system (as [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2797831&postcount=12]defined above[/URL]) to facilitate and resolve conflicts between a protagonist/several protagonists and an antagonist/several antagonists. Protagonists and antagonists in this definition are fictional characters engaging in fictional conflicts in a fictional setting of some sort under the control of players (so as to exclude games like freeze tag, which are nothing more than a simple method of conflict facilitation and resolution).
