Game style
Theater of the Mind
āTheater of the Mindā uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Masterās descriptions and character action and movement comes from Playersā descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
āRoleplay Heavyā 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.

How to prepare
You'll need an internet connection, microphone and headphones to play in the game. The game will mostly be played over discord. Everything else I'll provide or cover during session 0
What I provide
I prefer to use theatre of the mind rather than a VTT. I may put together a map of the city we're working in to try and bring it to life. In general as a GM I'm focused on roleplaying, collaborative storytelling and having a fun and relaxed time. I love seeing romance, humour, deep character introspection.
Gameplay details
We'll go over safety tools in session 0. Urban shadows will cover serious topics and my foremost goal is to make sure everyone has a good time without feeling uneasy.
