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.
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.
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.
The party has an monk/druid, a druid, a barbarian druid, a rogue, a gloomstalker, and a fighter.

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a roll20 and discord account (free versions for both are fine), and a good mic and internet connection.
What I provide
I will be providing all source books on Roll20. I will also guide you as much as needed and answer any questions you have. I make custom maps, provide music for the occasion, tailored stories, and dynamic combat. We will be playing Rules as Written with votes for homebrew rules and occasional Rule of Cool.
Gameplay details
You can tell me any of your Lines and Veils (privately if you wish also) and I will anonymously let everyone know what is off the table. If something happens that you are generally okay with so you did not say it was a line, but it becomes to much, you can privately let me know and I will end it quickly. You are also able to leave if you prefer, and I will message you when it is over. I also will check in after some games, but you are always welcome to tell me any discomfort.

How will character creation work
You will be making your character out of session, so you need to have a character made before the game. I can help you if you need any help though, even getting on voice and guiding step by step if needed. Any official DnD books from WotC are available. We will be using the 2024 rules for most of it (aside on some voted ones).
