You need to keep it simple. Another is that people are talking about theory, when I've been setting the groundwork for the theory. You're getting ahead of yourselves. You don't know where I'm going yet, please stop assuming you know where I'm headed.Getting back to basics, the first question to answer regarding RPGs is; what are you doing when playing the game? That's all, that's it. What are you doing when you play the game?It's a simple answer. It needs no qualifications or dependent clauses.Does it cover other activities that include roleplaying? No. Does it include activities that could be called roleplaying games? Again, no. In the broadest sense an RPG is an organized, participatory activity  where the players assume roles. This includes activities such as 'let's pretend' theater games, psychiatric scenarios, and even murder mystery games. We're focusing on pen and paper RPGs (aka table top RPGS), also know as, RPGs. Which can lead to some confusion. So keep in mind that we are discussing a type of RPG we call RPGs.So when we use the term, RPG keep in mind we're talking about the type of RPG where participants do one thing unique to this type of RPG.What is that one thing? That question you can answer by answering this question; what do you do in a roleplaying game? Before anything else, before everything else, what do you do in a roleplaying game? Your answer requires more than one sentence, you need to do a serious rewrite.Yes, this will count towards your grade.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
