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.

Recruiting notes

The campaign is scheduled to take place weekly (Last week of the month off). Character creation will be done before joining the campaign through a session 0/individual meeting. Otherwise, pre-generated characters are available.
