What is roleplaying?

This isn't always true, though, since we're including roleplaying 
outside the conventional niche (i.e., simming, which is the 
independently-developed, who's-Gary-Gygax version of roleplaying 
born mostly on AOL)... I'd rather there was no mention of "rules" 
per se (there'll be other, more detailed how-to's covering games 
with rules, improv-style games where the only rule is "no blocking", 
and things like that).  Inclusiveness is key here, we're targeting 
people *way* outside the standard roleplaying demographic.
