GM: Game master, the person playing all the characters that the players encounter, describes the scenes, and reveals the mystery.

Player: You! the people playing the main characters.
Stats: Referring to the numbers you add to your dice roll. The GM will ask you to roll, to be able to do something difficult. The result of your dice roll is added to the specific trait stat that applies to the action (e.g. if you want to convince someone, it would be the stat "charm").
TTRPG: Abbreviation of table top roleplaying game.

What is table top roleplaying?
In table top roleplaying (TTRPG), there is a host/game master (GM), who is effectively the storyteller. You (the player) are a character in that story. The GM acts out any other characters that are not played by the players, and you decide what your own character says and does.
Example:
GM: You can go to the hospital and check on the victim if you want?
Player: yeah ok, let's do that
GM: you enter the hospital's waiting room. There is a reception, and a few patients waiting for treatment.
Player: ok I want to go talk to the receptionist and lie that I'm the victims family member
GM: cool, the receptionist greets you after taking a sip of her coffee "good morning, what can i help you with?"
Player: "hi uhm, so my uhh brother John Casey, he was in an accident. I'm here to see him"
GM: Roll Charm to see how that goes
Player: *rolls 2 6 sided dice*, a 1 and a 3, plus the character's charm stat of 1, that gives 5, which is a fail.
GM: "oh uh, I mean I just let his brother in, I don't think we have a different brother on file..." As she says this the real brother steps out of the waiting room. He doesn't acknowledge you at all. The receptionist gives you a weird look and slowly backs away, reaching for the security button. What do you do?
Player: I run in the direction the real brother came from!
What to keep in mind when roleplaying?
Be creative, but realistic. Think about what your character should be able to do.
Interact with the other players
Have fun
