What IS an RPG? Well, it could mean many things these days - pen and paper Dungeons & Dragons, or Live Action Role Playing, or Pokemon training - its definition is broad. But its name tells you the secret - role playing is about taking on a role in a fictional setting. Some forms of RPGs, like D&D, involve more collaborative storytelling between players and gamemasters. Others only have lite-RPG elements, like some FPS and 3rd Person Action Games. It's a rather vague term that covers a lot of bases these days.
