+Games where players take on the role of characters can be challenging because portraying these can be difficult, or knowing the rules the games uses to portray them are difficult. They can also be challenging because they may not be fully fleshed out and need details or relations to other characters, and doing this together may be challenging in itself if players may not know each other. [[Workshopping]] techniques are designed activities intended to help players overcome these challenges by working through various issues before actual gameplay begins.
