“It is definitely a skill!” Mike confirms. “Roleplaying is essentially a subset of acting, and you can trace careers and see people improve in movies all the time.” The best way to learn that skill is by doing it. I don’t mean you need to become an actor and start landing some movie roles. I mean you should find some friendly people and try out a tabletop RPG. It’s easier than you think, and the things you learn can be brought back to videogame land.
