Cultural Tip
In French, "RPG" is widely used among gamers, but the full term "jeux de rôle" is more formal and appears in written reviews or on TV. Remember to match the level of formality: use "tu" with peers, but switch to "vous" (e.g., "Vous aimez les RPG ?") with strangers or older people. Also, avoid adding an "s" to the abbreviation – say "RPG" not "RPGs".
