White Wolf describes this better than I could, and in fewer, simpler words.
From Wraith The Oblivion Main Book ©:
pg 26
You act through roleplaying games by assuming the roles of the central characters. It's alot like
theatre, but you make up the lines.
Remember when you played Cop's n Robber's or House? What you were doing was roleplaying, a sort of spontaneous and
natural acting that completely occupied your imagination. It was an essential part of childhood, but just because you
have grown up doesn't mean you have to stop.
Unlike pretend, there are a few rules. . .these are to mainly avoid arguments.
