first RPG

There is no consensus, but the most accepted is that Braunstein, created by the American David Wesely in 1967, was the first role-playing game (or RPG, in its acronym in English). In it, the player controlled a single character, not an army, as was common. There was also a judge to decide the consequences of player actions, like the master of today’s RPGs. But the controversy is strong, because many fans understand that any activity involving taking on roles (like playing cops and robbers, for example) would be a predecessor of RPGs. Among electronics, the first was pedit5, created by the American Rusty Rutherford in 1975 for the Plato computer.
