This paper presents the Process Model of Role-Playing. The model
provides concepts to describe and analyze role-playing sessions, to
describe role-playing preferences, as well as to plan and convey
visions of future role-playing sessions and campaigns. The core idea
of the work presented here is to look at role-playing as a set of
interacting processes, distinct aspects of the act of role-playing
that go on over a period of time. On top of this, a model is built
that identifies the various processes, as well as the end results of
role-playing, the individual methods used, and the interactions of
all these components.
