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.

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.

Gameplay details

At the start of a session after everyone arrives we will have a short recap of the last session just to remind everyone of what happened last time. If players are uncomfortable with certain topics or do not want to cross certain lines then just message me and I will adjust the content accordingly. Breaks will be halfway through the session and will last about 10 minutes. At the end of the session, we will have a feedback section where the players will tell me what they thought about the session and talk about what could be improved, what went well, what didn't go well, and anything they want to bring up.
