Generally A person who indulges in Roleplaying games (RPG's)that involve two or more people. popularized by the infamous Dungeons and dragons games.

That guy runs two games, and plays in two others.. he's quite a role-player.
1) A hobby in which players create or are given fictional characters to portray. There is usually a rule-system of some form, of which D&D is an example. In a group of players one (or sometimes more) persons will volunteer to be a Games Master - s/he will control all non-player characters, the environment the players interact in and arbitrate the rules.
2) A bedroom practise, in which partners dress up and pretend to be someone else for sexual satisfaction.
