In a role play, two or more participants each play at least one role. A role play can be used as a psychological test or educational method, but also really as a recreational game. In the latter case, a role-playing game is often mentioned.) Functional role-playing
Roleplaying is used as a therapy, psychological or other test or training method. In this case, two or more persons (and possibly one or more training actors) participate in a role-play, in which a certain (often difficult) situation is imitated. An example of this is a "bad news call" for doctors, where an actor is the patient who is told that he is seriously ill and the prospective doctor can practice this conversation. Other business theater and communication training often use role-playing in the practice of skills. SM
In an SM role-play, the dominant role of the top (s) (for example, educator, agent, cipier) serves as a context for humiliation by bottom (s) subjugated character (s), for example, to beat, in fetishes often with fixed components (such as costumes, tools), with others just like exploration or variation. Online role-playing games
But online also there are role-playing games, such as the Middle Ages. In these games everybody plays a character. They play in all kinds of situations. Internet forums are very suitable for this purpose. An example of such a game is Grimbald.
