Our Story Begins

Paper Story is a roleplaying game rooted in the design of the classic Paper Mario games, allowing you to take those familiar worlds and tell your own stories within them.

For those of you new to roleplaying, TTRPG's are known as either tabletop or table-talk roleplaying games. They have common roots with their digital cousins, but are quite a bit different where it counts.

Basically, one player acts as Game Master – equal parts referee and storyteller, this player controls the entire world of NPC's and oversees its rules. All the other players are responsible for their own characters and their actions.
Completely responsible. The only real constraints you have are what seems reasonable to your game and the people you play with.

As you might expect, these games are a lot more flexible by nature. You have the opportunity to literally play a role, and it's generally expected that you make choices that are consistent with the role of your character – even if they're not strictly speaking what a 'good' player would do.

There are many more write-ups that go into deeper detail than this with respect to the big-name RPG's – Dungeons and Dragons, World of Darkness, Savage Worlds, to name a few.
If that generally sounds like a lot of fun, I'd highly recommend you look into some of those games, and of course have fun with Paper Story!
