Role-playing games combine fantasy, stories and strategic thinking in interactive adventures. Players slip into the roles of heroes, adventurers or unique characters and experience stories told together in detailed worlds. Decisions, dice rolls and character abilities determine the course of the plot and the chances in the game.

The special appeal of role-playing games lies in the combination of creativity and strategy: characters develop further, new skills are learnt and adventures can be experienced in countless ways. Whether solving puzzles, fighting powerful opponents or creating your own story - role-playing games offer almost unlimited variety, immersion and replay value.

Well-known examples of role-playing games include Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder.
