RPG
Role Playing Game is a game where the players make characters with certain personalities and abilities. The characters will then go out to explore the world like Eonil in this case, most likely seeking for adventure. The players will determine the actions of their characters and what happens will be played out. This site describes the Eonil setting and it’s rules and guidelines of how the game and the world works. All players are free to improvise and their characters actions and choices will determine how their story progresses and thus the outcome of the game.
Mostly a story or an adventure is led by one of the players who takes on the role of DM or Dungeon Master. The DM will know the story that unfolds around the player characters and he or she will describe the worlds of Eonil, everything that the player characters see and what is happening around them. The DM will take on the roles of every person, creature and sometimes the surroundings that the player characters interact with and describe the consequences of the characters actions.
