About the adventure
Another Isekai Adventure!? I ran out of space in the title box. Full title "Chronicle of the Transcendent Ones" - What Happens When Heroes From Different Time Periods are Reborn in a Fantasy World to Uncover the Secret of Their Shared Destiny. A tropey adventure where the Heroes must learn about the world quickly and take on their Destiny against the evil Demon Lord.
Game style
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.
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.
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.

Storytelling
I've played tons of games with Boyd! He's fair and makes a lot of effort to make sure that players feel involved and encouraged to engage with the story in their own ways. He will start campaigns with having players let him know boundaries and triggers to avoid during the story, and he takes care to keep everyone's responses private. Definitely would recommend to both new and experienced players!
Boyd is a top tier game master. I've had the pleasure of playing in 4 separate campaigns run by them, and have had a uniquely fun experience each time. Their expert knowledge of the game added to the creativity and passion that they bring to it come together to create something truly special. Boyd's mixture of preparedness along with improvision allows for the player characters to make their own decisions without feeling like the game is progressing along a specific track, and in my opinion creates some very fun possibilities. I would definitely recommend players of any experience level from beginners to experts to try playing a game run by them.
I've played in two games and a one-shot with Boyd and in all three of the games I felt a sense of player agency I don't normally get in dnd. Boyd's deep understanding of the base rules of dnd allows them to be very flexible with player creativity. It's always fun running an idea past Boyd, and he's been willing to make things work in a way that still feels like dnd(even if we have to homebrew a little to get there). He's also very in tune with each players individual experience, and does a good job of passing the spotlight around and making sure everyone is having a good time. I would highly recommend Boyd as a DM, whether you're a first time player or a seasoned adventurer.
Boyd has a very balanced style of running games that makes for comfortable and easygoing roleplay environments. The conflicts, puzzles, predicaments, and NPCs in his games are approachable and grounded when needed while also staying fresh and unique. He has a thorough understanding of rules and systems, but integrates those aspects seamlessly into the stories and scenes he crafts for players, so it doesn't feel like mechanics are interrupting the story. Boyd is a DM who crafts games with care and thought put into them. But he allows players to approach those scenarios with a level of freedom that results in fun and often silly or tense outcomes.

How to prepare
Stable Internet Mic required, webcam appreciated. We will be using my discord for voice during the session and text chat is opt in to talk about the game in between sessions. This is the VTT we will use so an account here https://app.rpgsessions.com/auth/login A character concept coming into session0 is highly recommended, but it doesn't need to be fully fleshed out or locked in.
What I provide
I am someone who reads way too much trash isekai and I dream of making this game as tropey and predictable as some of those. I have a whole wide world of incredibly generic fantasy stuff for players to leave the mark on and shape as the adventure continues. Mostly in this system I adhere by a rule of cool perspective. Metagaming by being genre aware is not discouraged. Character voices will be attempted, but will often drift off usually in a humorous manner. Character Ideas will be encouraged and homebrews will be made to make characters grow how players want them to go. I can be texted during the week to work on leveling up and concepts.
Gameplay details
Session 0 I will be going over Line and veils. We will discuss what we want out of the game and requests for the game. Every session will have a time where we take 5 or 10minutes for bathroom breaks/water refills. At the end of every session when Xp is being given out everyone will share something they liked that someone else did and something that want more of in the future.
