Abstracts

EN

The article addresses the subject of text-based browser games belonging to the RPG genre. The characteristic feature of this game type is its social aspect and a greater level of immersion. Role-playing games have adapted to new technologies using the new media – the Internet and web browsers – as a gaming platform. Consequently, it has become possible to overcome the temporal and spatial barriers. The article examines a game session as the interactive negotiation of meaning, a phenomenon distinct from the fictional game time, and character creation as a form of creating public image.
