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.

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.

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.

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.

Leaf is a great improvisor who does a fantastic job of making sure everyone feels welcome at the table. He's excellent with players both new and more experienced, and he knows how to make moments both fun and informative. He also takes the time for every player to tell their story. If you're looking for a great DM, give Leaf a go.

Beautiful games. Leaf is a master, elegant and precise. First of all, they make the game feel incredibly safe. They set out to make a cozy stardew valley game and immediately made a game that feels like a warm cup of cocoa, complete with the whipped cream and marshmallow. Leaf leaves plenty of space for people to be their characters and works with the party to allow creative solutions to problems. High knowledge of the game in a way that allows the game's rules to bend without breaking. An absolutely wonderful gm. I couldn't recommend them higher.

One of the greatest if not the best DM that I have played with in my years of playing 5e. Leif is extremely easily to get along with and creates an amazing world for the players to become completely invested and immersed in. What I appreciate the most is his willingness to answer all of our questions with fast replies which is very hard to find.

Each of his characters are thought out and interesting, his world building is indepth in a way the allow players to create interesting and deep character that feel like they truly belong in the world he created. Hes fast to respond and gives information out at a constant and easy to absorbe rate, overall hes a pleasure to play with.
