| Roleplaying, like acting, is imagining yourself in the place of another person -real or fictional- and playing out the role as if you were them. In the context of Horizon: out of the ashes, this means taking part in the events of a story by assuming the role of a fictional character. Unlike in a play or movie however, Characters in a roleplaying game are not only created by the storyteller. Instead, each Player may create a Character for themselves, then use the strengths and abilities of their Character to play out the adventure. This Character can be anyone and do anything, limited only by the setting and the rules of the game. | Roleplaying, like acting, is imagining yourself in the place of another person -real or fictional- and playing out the role as if you were them.

| Roleplaying games are often complex and there can be a lot to keep track of. In the beginning this can feel a little overwhelming so here we're going to cover the basics of how our game works. The first things you need to know are the roles of Player and Director along with what each entails. Next, we cover how to be a good roleplayer, then we move on to describe the mechanics of play, like making tests and rolling dice. | Roleplaying games are often complex and there can be a lot to keep track of.
