From Caernest
For the purposes of this website, the terms "role-playing" and "gaming" refer to table-top role-playing (games). These are games such as: the infamous D&D (along with it's brother and sister AD&D and Pathfinder), Shadowrun, 7th Sea, (the other infamous game) Vampire, and many others. While I do enjoy computer games, and yes, I am a LARPer, that's not the kind of gaming I'm referring to. If you think "gaming" might refer to playing "Monopoly" or "Poker", you must be even older than I am.
If more details needs to be explained beyond that, then you must be new to the idea or concept of table-top role-playing games. Let me fill you in a bit. (If you're a veteran of RPGs, then there's no need to read further unless you're bored or just looking for yet another definition of "gaming" by another fan of the hobby.)
