What is TTRPG?

TTRPG stands for Tabletop Role Playing Game, where you play and develop the story as you go. The biggest difference between them and other board games is that rather than experiencing someone else’s story, you’re creating the encounters, the conflicts, and even the goals you’re trying to achieve. Then, a solo RPG is one where you play and make the story independently.
