1. Tabletop RPGs: These games are played with a group of people gathered around a table, using dice, character sheets, and a rulebook. Players create characters and collaboratively tell a story, guided by the rules and the imagination of the group. Examples include Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Call of Cthulhu.
2. Video RPGs: These games are played on a computer or console, with the player controlling a character within a virtual world. They often have more structured storylines, quests, and combat systems than tabletop RPGs. Examples include The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Final Fantasy VII, and Baldur's Gate.
