Game style
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.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
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.
Solamnia, the Land of Knights and Dragons—a realm where the valor of heroes intertwines with ancient legends and arcane mysteries. Embark on an epic journey through the majestic plains, treacherous mountains, and mystical forests. Forge alliances with noble knights, and stand against the looming threat of the Dragonarmies. Your path will be one of honor, magic, and epic battles, shaping the fate of Krynn.

Noralf is the best! This was my first ever D&D adventure, and Noralf did everything to help me start out. He is very organized, has a comprehensive data base, with everything needed to help newbies. He was also very prompt to answer at any time I've messaged him, and had the patience to help at every step. We had thematic background music, pictures of non player characters, spaces, maps, monsters, everything was provided by Noralf in an immersive and smooth way. It was an awesome experience, and I was excited every time Noralf started telling stories roleplaying as the non player characters (he also did voices with accents! terrific!). If you're a newbie like me, or even a seasoned player, don't hesitate to trying Noralf as your Game Master. We had experienced players in our group as well and they were also impressed and happy with Noralf's approach. Overall, a fantastic experience! Thanks man! It was great!

Our session 1 did not disappoint! Our first four hour session and we cannot wait to play again. Noralf paints an amazing scene in your mind and the integration of the maps and setting pages just add to the overall suspense. He truly enjoys the game and you can tell. We are anxiously awaiting our next chance to continue the adventure.

I've only been Noralf's PbP game for a few weeks, but am blown away. Their discord site is well organized, the game is well run, and Noralf really knows how to engage the players without railroading them. Getting into one of their sessions is like getting a Nat 20 on a luck check - you won't be disappointed!

Noralf is detail oriented, and focuses on immersion. He has refined his GM craft, making it an art. He also is kind and gracious-he had to step away for a week and reduced the rate for the missed week-was very up front about it. The only feedback is perhaps add a requested minimum number of posts for players to keep engaged-this amps up the value of the game because the campaign moves at a steady and reliable pace.
