fantasy role-playing

Pretend heroic quests

Fantasy role-playing is a form of gaming where participants assume fictional characters in imaginary worlds, typically involving magic, medieval settings, or mythological creatures.

Players describe their characters' actions while a game master narrates outcomes and controls the story.

Dungeons & Dragons is the genre's defining example.

The term also applies to sexual scenarios involving fantastical personas or settings.
