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.

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.

Played Hold Back The Dead one shot with Dan and a good group. Tried out Monk for the first time (cause sometimes you just want to punch a zombie to death) and Dan was super patient and helpful as I got up to speed on the class. Great times were had by all. 3 thumbs up!
