Tabletop RPG, also known as Tabletop Role-Playing Game, is a type of collaborative storytelling game where players create characters and engage in interactive simulations. In a tabletop RPG setting, players gather around a physical table to engage in imaginative scenarios, often set in fantasy, science fiction, or historical contexts.

The core elements of a tabletop RPG include the players, the game master (GM), and a set of rules. The GM creates and narrates the game world, while the players control their characters, making decisions that drive the story forward. The rules, typically found in a rulebook or characterized by social norms, govern character abilities, game mechanics, and conflict resolution.

Tabletop RPGs can be played with a variety of settings and themes, from high-fantasy worlds to dark, gritty dystopias. Players can choose from pre-made characters, create their own, or collaborate to build a character together. Some games focus on strategic combat, while others emphasize role-playing, exploration, or problem-solving.

Tabletop RPGs are often played with a combination of dice, cards, and maps to visualize the game world and track character progress. Popular tabletop RPG franchises include Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and World of Darkness. Tabletop RPGs can be enjoyed with groups of friends, family, or in online communities.

Rigorous social interaction and creative problem-solving are essential elements of a successful tabletop RPG experience. A successful game fosters a collaborative atmosphere where players can share ideas and achieve collective goals. With a focus on imagination and teamwork, tabletop RPGs have become a popular hobby and social activity worldwide.
