Grouling, Jennifer (2010). The Creation of Narrative in Tabletop Role-Playing Games. McFarland & Company. pp. 6. ISBN978-0-7864-4451-9. „As suggested by the name, TRPGs are played face-to-face (around a table, most likely), and involve players 'acting out' a role. This acting is not always literal. Players do not arrive in costume or speak exclusively in-character – something that differentiates TRPGs from live-action role-playing games (LARPs). Instead, players develop characters based on certain rules and are responsible for deciding what those characters do over the course of the game.“
