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.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Completed my first session with AP this week, with my new DnD group on Tuesdays for Dragon Lance. I have been wanting to play this module for a while now, since I read the books many moons ago when I was a teenager, and was really happy to find a group that would allow me to do so. Communication before starting the game was great, with expectations laid out on what I needed to do and have setup. His discord is well laid out with lots of information, different game options, and I was welcomed in by everyone in our new group that was already playing and first impressions were wonderful. It's going to be a great fit! The game started on time, and after the introductions and getting our characters into the scene, it was fast paced with lots of fighting, (YEAH!) but there was a lot of roleplaying meshed in by AP and the other players as well. People trying different voices and ideas - but not to the point it started over taking everything. You know it's a safe place to have fun when people are willing to put themselves out there in that manner. I did not find any huge gaps in chat with nothing going on as mentioned in other reviews, (which I read prior to joining and had concerned me a little), but it was unwarranted and those can easily be explained by a DM intentionally pausing and allowing time for players to fill in and have a chance to RP and have fun themselves to move the narrative forward. You never want a DM that constantly overtalks their player characters and does not allow that to happen! I joined this game with my boyfriend and in our private post game chat, we discussed how much we had enjoyed ourselves and how happy we were that we finally found our next long term campaign. If you are looking for a new campaign and adventure, AP comes highly recommended!

Excellent manager of game flow, on the go maintenance of player character sheets, and inclusion of old and new players. Animancy has all the tools required to create an experience that people will be invested in and enjoy!

Been playing with AP for a few months now, have NOT been disappointed. Keeps the game moving well and leaves room for the roleplay, both with npcs and between pcs. Highly recommend him!

AP games are action packed and detailed. He is very efficient in gaming tools that makes complex maps, combats and actions move seamlessly. The music with each map/room sets the tone and player can construct their character emotions and actions with ease. Highly recommended great DM for all rpg experience levels.
