When we talk about RPG games or role playing games there are two different types a person can participate in. There are either the single player versions or those that require a number of different players more commonly referred to as multi player RPG's. Below we will take a look at what exactly these two versions of what has become a very popular past time for some people today.

The role playing games where one person is playing (single) will often not require as much creativity on the part of the player as would those that multi player ones do. Also with these particular games the player is actually required to conform to the rules that have been defined by the developer of the game initially. So in most cases you will find that there is no one to monitor play (the games master) and who can also help the player create interactions with his character and those that are on the board.

So when it comes to participating in an RPG game the solo player will instead find that they have a very few limited solutions to choose from. It is the predetermined solutions which will then help them to make a decision on how to rectify the problem they are faced with.

Those players who prefer to play solo games rather than multi player ones can either do it through use of adventure books or by playing video based versions of the games. But with both of these types of solo RPG games the player will find themselves having to interact with characters that are predefined and will be included within the game.

Whereas multi player games requires 2 or more people to participate in the adventure as it plays out. Players find that the more of them that are participating in a particular game then it will increase in its complexity and which makes for more of a challenge for those participating.

But as well as the players participating in these games many will generally require a games master also who can monitor the action of the game as it takes place closely. It is this person who will ensure that the rules of the game are adhered to as well as it is these people who choose when to add any new scenarios to the game for the players then to work their way through. Some times if there are large numbers of players taking part in one particular multi player RPG game often referred to as MMORPGS (Massively Multi Player Role Playing Games) then more than one games master will be required to monitor the action.

So as you can see from above when it comes to RPG games you have a choice. You can either go for the single player or multi player games. Certainly if you are someone who is just starting out and learning to understand the nuances of this particular form of gaming then it may be wise to start off by playing single player RPG games first.
