Roleplaying Games, often shortened to RPGs, is a form of tabletop game in which several participants cooperatively create a story together. The general arc of the story is usually led by a Game Master (called different things in different RPGs), with the other players taking on the roles of Player Characters, or PCs, which inhabit the world and story of the RPG. In RPGs, imagination is the principal game component.

The stories created in roleplaying games are interactive and collaborative without the usual "winners" or "losers". Rather, a successful roleplaying session (or adventure) can be said to provide an entertaining exercise of the imagination for the players, a chance to live out the role of the characters in the immersive world of the game, and to grow and develop the story over time through a series of sessions, or a campaign.

Fantasy Flight Games presents several different imaginary worlds to roleplay in:

In Dark Heresy, take on the role of an Acolyte in the service of the Emperor's Inquisition and defend the Empire against heretics, aliens, and the forces of Chaos. Dark Heresy is roleplaying in the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

In Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, unlikely heroes from all walks of life journey through the Old World, an empire of perilous adventure, driven by the hand of Fate. The Old World is brutal and enemies are many, but maybe with enough luck and enough skill, your adventurer's will reap Fate's rewards.

Once upon a time there was a land of twisted fairy tales. Where dreams and nightmares walked hand in hand, where wonder and despair were two sides of the same coin, where magic and imagination reigned, and where kindly villagers lived next door to strange beasts. Grimm is a roleplaying game where you become an archetypal kid trying to survive in the strange Grimm Lands.

Anima is a roleplaying game system created by Japanese and European developers that creates a refreshing, highly-customizable experience. Anima offers a detailed character creation system that gives players complete freedom to transform their most heroic dreams into reality.
