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.

I 100% recommend Andy- we’re 10 sessions into a Strahd campaign and it’s absolutely the best game we’ve ever played in. There are excellent parameters for the campaign both in game play and above table. Each session is full of role play and so many fun opportunities, rule of cool is observed, especially when it adds flavor- but the game still functions with real mechanics so triumphs still feel earned. He does an amazing job at setting communal expectations that provide really smooth game play and we’ve found some real kindred spirits at his table. Cannot recommend enough, sign up for one of his games now!!

Andy's one of the best GM's I've had here on Startplaying. He does a fantastic job of setting up the games for all players to feel engaged, heard, and welcome. Hands down some of the most professionally managed sessions, with great care taken to accommodate player's needs, as well as run a deeply immersive stories. Smooth, calm, and pro to the core. Highly recommend!

Additional details
How to prepare
Players will need a good, working mic as well as a free zoom, DDB, forge, and discord account! A basic understanding of the rules and how your character will work is much appreciated. A webcam is not mandatory, however it is highly recommended as I believe this helps with roleplay tremendously! If players wish to have physical dice or a printout of their character sheet, then they may do so.
What I provide
I will bring a top tier DDB account with all available (official) content to be shared for character creation. I will bring maps, sound/song playlist, and all other things necessary to host this campaign!

This campaign will contain a session 0. We will go over expectations as well as character creation. The intent is to meet the needs of the group and establish a good fit for everyone! This will also create an opportunity to see how sessions could be run and what we will use to do so!
