Role-playing games are popular entertainment, close to theatrical performance. Its main feature is improvisation. Such entertainment allows a large company not only to have fun for more than one hour, but also to develop their communication skills. To conduct a "role-play" you need to properly prepare.
It is necessary
- - Scenery;
- - costumes.
Instructions
Step 1
Define the scope of the game. The main part, as already mentioned, is improvisational. That is, no one knows how the plot will develop and how the whole story will end. However, it is up to the game organizers to determine the initial "settings". Pick a time and place. It can be a night carnival in an elven forest, or an ancient castle from the times of knights and princesses.
Step 2
Assign a specific role to each of the participants. Explain to the players that there are no bad roles, and how the story unfolds for their characters depends on them. To increase honesty, roles can be played on pieces of paper or dice, assigning a certain number to each role.
Step 3
Bring realism to the game. To make it easier for players to get used to the role, they should not just play it, but also try it on. Pre-prepared costumes, masks, and just signs will allow you to achieve the desired result. All these things are able to give realism to the process and help players navigate among themselves. This is especially important when there are a lot of heroes.
Step 4
Prepare some key scenes. It may happen that the players get stumped and the controversy that was successfully started will come to naught. In this case, the facilitator should nudge the players into further conversation. Throw in a new problem or new facts of a dispute between players, create new conditions.
Step 5
Don't create perfect worlds. For a struggle to arise, and indeed any action in general, you need a problem, for the solution of which the characters will have to interact. Therefore, as a rule, it is the "evil little worlds" and situations that turn out to be the most interesting.
Step 6
Leave a little puzzle until the very end of the game. The success of the "roleplayer" lies in keeping the participants in suspense throughout the game. Either pondering over some question, or in search of an answer to one of the riddles posed.
Step 7
Get the players to interact. Not all people are active, and someone will participate in all conversations and actions, and someone will listen peacefully without taking any action. The world will be incomplete if someone just "sits back". Come up with an intrigue and involve everyone in it. Then your role-playing game will be great.
