Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Gameplay details
Expectations and limitations are discussed during onboarding with each individual player and established during session 0. I regularly check up on players, as it’s my job to make sure everyone is having the best possible time. Roleplay and storytelling are always at the forefront of my campaigns, so don't stress about knowing the rules. If you know how to roll dice, that's good enough! At the end of every hour, there is a 5-minute break so everyone can fetch a drink and hit the bathroom. Communication is key, in and out of gameplay.
