@themethursday its a roleplaying game; essentially you take the role of a completely different character (mine is a water orc barbarian). to perform an action, you must specify what kind of 'check' it requires, and then roll a pertaining dice to figure out whether you correctly follow through with said action. for instance, if i wanted to convince a guard that i was the tsar of some far away country, that would be a 'bluff' check. i would roll a d20 (a dice with 20 sides) and if, say, i roll higher than 14 then i make the bluff check and the guard believes me (he isnt very bright, you see). that's kind of how it works. :D @Megarelli absobloodylutely. :D
