The Big Bang Theory touched on all kinds of nerd culture, including Role Playing Games, known as RPGs. RPGs can be tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons or Massively Multiplayer Online games known as MMOs or specifically, MMORPGs. Many RPGs share some specific basics – you create a character that has a specific role, backstory, and specific attributes or skills. Those attributes can be enhanced during gameplay through experience and achievements. In some cases, you can attain specific items like the Sword of Azeroth which grants you a new title. These games also typically involve more complex character development than what is found in other types of games.
