These games involve players acting as characters in some imagination-fueled realm, created or described by the game master (GM). In D&amp;D, the game master is known as the Dungeon Master (DM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These games use books, maps, figures, and other items to build the fantasy setting and control the game.
