Traditionally, most roleplaying games consisted of Dungeons & Dragons, or Vampire: the Masquerade, where you get together with other people, and often devote several hours to acting out different scenarios as different characters. The internet has made it easier for people to get together from all over the world and role-play on a variety of themes (including historical, literature, television, wolf, fantasy, and literature) in either text or browser-based formats. Rather than searching your local bookstore, game shop or library for the most up-to-date rule books, you can search forums, message boards, and web sites, as well as chat with other players, to learn about your chosen role-playing game and help develop your character.
