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.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be dealt with before the game is held in one of Four ways. 1. A player can contact me on here or on discord to set up a one on one call to help create their character. the character creation can be a little intense at first so the one on one session is highly recommended to first time and new players. 2. A Player can create their character on their own, all they would have to do is send me the character sheet through discord and let me look it over. All characters will be accepted I would like to see what I am working with. 3. A Player can choose a Pre-Gen Character if they do not feel comfortable creating their first character in a One-Shot. These Pre Gen Characters are available in all books that you will have access to as well as in the materials that will be sent to you in the prep materials. All materials will be sent in a google drive file that will be shared through a link. Please feel free to DM me with any questions that you have regarding character creation and I will be sure to get back to you in a timely manner. 4. Character Creation Can also happen during the session 0 where I can help you and other players through the character creation and we can come up with any backstory bits together! This will also make it easier to create the character with the world!
