Players take the part of imaginary adventurers or explorers, such as warriors, sorcerers and thieves.

The players use their adventurers to explore imaginary worlds.

Players' adventurers come across many different creatures and treasures in imaginary settings including dungeons, castles and catacombs.

Players use adventurers' skills and personalities to interact with the creatures, fantasy settings and situations that they encounter.

Adventurers gain more skills and experience as they explore, allowing them to meet increasingly difficult challenges in return for greater prizes.

Over time adventurers' imaginary lives become a part of the many settings, creatures and events that make up their world.
