Definition

Out Of Character - used in role-playing scenarios to temporarily break the fourth wall and speak as your actual self rather than your fantasy persona. It's the emergency exit sign in the theater of pretend, letting everyone know the wizard is about to discuss pizza toppings as a regular human.

Example Usage

OOC: Hey guys, I need to step away for dinner, but my character will just be meditating in the corner until I get back.
