ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Campaign (role-playing games)

In a campaign in a role-playing game, you get to pretend to be a made-up character in a made-up world. It's kinda like playing make-believe with your friends, but with rules to make it more fun and fair.

The people in charge, called Game Masters (GMs), come up with stories or quests for your character to go on. Think of it like a big adventure!

Your character will have special skills, like being super smart, really strong, or being able to do magic. You use these skills to solve problems and complete tasks in the story.

As you play more and do more things, your character becomes stronger and better at their skills.

The game can go on for a long time, even months or years, and your character will have lots of different adventures and get to know other made-up characters in the game world. It's a fun way to be creative and use your imagination!
