Role-playing for short is RPG. Roleplaying is when you and your friends or anime fans get together to create a story. When roleplaying you have to be creative. In most role-playing games,one person maybe an Editor of the story, of course there maybe other people. The Editor will describe and be in charge of the setting. You and your friends or maybe even other anime fans can be characters, and the protaganist in this world, and your character will be guided through the story that you and your friends are/have created. Each person takes a different character, and each character interacts with each other character. Role-playing is very much playing in the mind. You imagine what the Editor describes. Then, you imagine your character's response to this situation, and you then describe that to the Editor and the other people. Then they do the same with thier characters.
