When we talk about role playing games or role playing games, there are two different types that a person can participate in. There are single player versions or those that require several different players, more commonly known as multiplayer role-playing games. Next, we will see what exactly these two versions are of what has become a very popular hobby for some people today.

RPGs in which one person (individual) is playing will often not require as much creativity on the part of the player as those required by multiplayer. Also, with these particular games, the player is actually bound to stick to the rules that have been initially defined by the game developer. So in most cases, you will find that there is no one to monitor the game (the game master) and that it can also help the player to create interactions with their character and those on the board.

So when it comes to participating in an RPG, the solo player will find that they have very few limited solutions to choose from. It is the predetermined solutions that will help you make a decision on how to rectify the problem you are facing.

Those players who prefer to play solo games rather than multiplayer games can do so by using adventure books or by playing video versions of the games. But with these two types of solo RPGs, the player will have to interact with characters that are predefined and will be included in the game.

Whereas multiplayer games require 2 or more people to participate in the adventure as it unfolds. Players discover that the more they participate in a particular game, the more complex it becomes and the more challenging it is for the participants.

But in addition to the players participating in these games, many will generally require a game master who can also monitor the action of the game as it unfolds closely. It is this person who will ensure that the rules of the game are followed, as well as these people who choose when to add new scenarios to the game for the players to later overcome. Sometimes, if there are a large number of players participating in a particular multiplayer role-playing game, often referred to as MMORPGS (Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Games), it will take more than one game master to monitor the action.

So as you can see from above, when it comes to RPGs, you have a choice. You can go for single player or multiplayer games. Certainly, if you are someone just starting out and learning to understand the nuances of this particular form of play, then it may be wise to start by playing single-player RPGs first.
