Game style
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.
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.

How will character creation work
🎭 Character Creation: Embark on your adventure as a 9th-level hero! You have two options for creating your character: Option 1: Join our collaborative Session 0, where we'll craft characters together, share ideas, and forge bonds. It's a great way to start your journey alongside fellow adventurers. Option 2: If you prefer to craft your character solo, create a D20 Modern character at level 9 and send it my way for approval. You're welcome to draw inspiration from any sourcebooks, but please give me a heads up when incorporating 3rd party material. We'll use the standard point-buy system for character creation. You are still invited to join Session 0 to talk about other elements of the game! 📜 Character Sheets Made Easy: For your convenience, I highly recommend using online tools like Myth-Weavers to create your character sheet. It streamlines the process and makes sharing your character with me a breeze. 🎯 Pregenerated Characters: If crafting your own character isn't your cup of tea, don't worry! I've got pregenerated characters ready to go. Just let me know, and I'll provide you with a character sheet tailored for the adventure. 🌟 Porting Characters: Have a beloved character from a previous D&D campaign? You're welcome to port them into our world! Just send me the details for approval. Any characters who've adventured with me before are automatically approved for our new quest. Your journey begins with a character as unique as you are. Whichever path you choose, I'm here to make sure your character feels like a true hero in the making! 🎲🌌
