While in traditional role players use their imagination, in live role physical involvement is required. For this reason, acting skills become more important than the story’s quality . So we could claim that live role is theatre and role game is a storyteller’s stuff. ESPADA ESPARTANA LATEX 432x450 - Live Action Role-Playing Games

Just like in theatre , clothings and dressings can make a difference between the player and role he plays.
