Curious about non-campaign RPGs? A role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of structured decision-making or character development. Actions taken within many games succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. The original form, sometimes called the tabletop RPG, is conducted through discussion, with an arranger called a game master (GM) who usually decides on the rules and setting to be used and acts as referee, while each of the other players plays the role of a single character.

Non-campaign means that a player will be using a new character for each game, usually created by the GM. They will not be playing the same character from convention to convention.
