    Learn more about the history and biggest names of RPG

    Also known today as tabletop RPGs, this type of game emerged in the 70s in the United States, and its main representative was Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), a medieval fantasy RPG heavily influenced by the works of JRR Tolkien, the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and which remains very popular to this day.



    In it, as in other games of this style, there is a narrator or master who will tell the story in which the characters are inserted, giving the paths for the players to choose the destiny of their characters throughout the narrative. As in games, tabletop RPGs also have different classes of characters, each with a story and special and unique abilities, which will be useful in the journey they will go through during the game and that interact with each other.

    The games were accompanied by a rulebook, which also contained details of characters, classes, scenarios and enemies to help the gamemaster create a campaign, that is, the journey that the characters will take throughout the game. Each player has their own character sheet, with specific attributes and abilities according to their chosen class, and their fate depends on their choices throughout the campaign.

    Despite being known for their medieval theme, there are different types of tabletop RPGs, as well as in games, with post-apocalyptic, interplanetary, wild west scenarios, and many others.

    The genre has gained a lot of popularity over the years, with several adaptations of role-playing games for other media, such as the famous Dragon Cave cartoon, which was originally called Dungeons & Dragons and was based on the tabletop RPG of the same name. 

    In our country, the genre arrived in the 80's, but gained popularity only in the 90's, with the creation of our country's first RPG called Tagmar, also of medieval fantasy, and with the complete translation of an RPG called GURPS, that allowed different scenarios and environments. At the same time, one of the main RPGs of our country was created, called Vampire: The Mask, which was set in an atmosphere of terror and focused on the characters' personal stories and dramas. A few years later, in the 2000s, Tormenta was released, which was set in the medieval era and was very important for the popularization of the genre in the country.



    The transposition of the genre to the world of virtual games, initially, took place through entirely text-based games, with an almost literal adaptation of the campaigns and concepts of tabletop RPGs to computer screens, called MUD (Multi User Dungeons). .

    The main innovation brought by this style of game was the possibility of playing the campaign with people from different parts of the world, however, the computers that allowed the games were not accessible to most people, so the games had few players, the most of them being university students using the equipment of the educational institutions in which they participated.

    Today's Top RPGs
