Role-playing game, also known as RPG (in Portuguese: "narrative game", "role-playing game" or "role-playing game"), is a type of game in which players assume role roles and create narratives collaboratively . The progress of a game takes place according to a predetermined system of rules, within which players can freely improvise. The players' choices determine the direction the game will take.

RPGs are typically more collaborative and social than competitive, although many of them are competitive. A typical game unites its participants in a single team that ventures as a group. An RPG occasionally has no winners or losers. This makes it fundamentally different from other board games, collectible card games , sports , or any other type of game. Like novels or movies, RPGs appeal because they fuel the imagination, without however limiting the player's behavior to a specific storyline.

There are several forms of RPG. The original form, sometimes called table RPG (tabletop RPG in English), is conducted through discussion, while live-action RPG (LARP) players physically perform their character actions. In both forms, an arranger called the game master usually decides the rules and settings to be used, acting as referee, while each of the other players plays the role of a single character.

In the case of our RPG, it is a textual RPG played through groups on the WHATSAPP platform, allowing players to play them anywhere in the world and at any time they want.
