Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
βRule of Coolβ emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a systemβs 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.
Dungeon Crawl
A βDungeon Crawlβ is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!

Played a free set of sessions for strahd death house. Did a good job rewarding clever/unusual solutions to encounters and allowing a kind of "kitchen sink" play style. Wasn't exceptionally punishing for misplays and would allow advantage gains if he realized something was done a little wrong in prior turns and will remind you of rules. Was very flexible with the sessions running over the normal number and even ran once half the players had to dip in the last session with little incident. He took our criticisms well and incorporated them in future sessions to make them more enjoyable, perhaps over correcting a little but I'd rather that than not at all. Was VERY good at rolling with the dynamic we brought to the table. I can't speak for his ability to get groups to play nice or act cohesively however as our group clicked fairly well.
Leandro was very friendly and open during the game, he was well prepared with hand outs, rule calls and was very comfortable helping us set up our characters. he was great/open at answering our random questions and had no issues when we decided that the game required that our party was all Bards! Good times and I look forward to future games with Leandro and "Jesse and the Puppy Dogs!"

How will character creation work
During session 0 we will create the party's sheet in Foundry VTT. The key is crafting a character that not only brings joy to your gameplay but also enhances the overall experience for everyone at the table. I can assist you with character creation, or if you'd rather, I can also handle the sheet creation for you.
