About This Activity
Role Playing is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and further act out that character's narrative either through literal acting or through structured decision-making on a board game. In this class, Don Basham will cover a wide variety of role playing and board games, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. He will also discuss where you can purchase games, how to setup, and of course how to play!
