Game style
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.
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.
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.

Additional details
How to prepare
You’ll need a discord account and a mic to communicate during the game. You’ll need an account on Roll20 for accessing the Virtual Table Top and participating in gameplay. Be sure to have character ideas ready with a backstory and motivations. You can use the three 2024 core rulebooks for character creation.
What I provide
I’ll be using Roll20 for maps, tokens, and dice rolling to create an immersive experience. I bring the world to life with character voices and ambient music, adjusting the tone for different scenes. Combat will be strategic but fun, focusing on teamwork and creativity without getting too bogged down in complex tactics. While I follow the Rules as Written, I also embrace the Rule of Cool, allowing daring or cinematic actions when it fits the story. The game will be adventurous, with your choices shaping the world and the narrative. I encourage collaboration and roleplay, and I’m open to communication—if something feels off, let me know! Be ready for a mix of serious moments and lighthearted fun, with a focus on character growth and memorable encounters.
Gameplay details
In Session 0, we’ll discuss lines and veils to set clear boundaries and ensure everyone is comfortable with sensitive content. After each session, I’ll check in with players privately or in a group discussion, depending on what they prefer. If a session is particularly intense or emotional, I’ll offer extra time for players to process and discuss anything they need. During the game, I’ll use digital tools like Discord or Roll20 for quick communication. Players can use the *X-card* to stop or change a scene if they feel uncomfortable, or message privately to pause or adjust the game’s pace and tone. I encourage ongoing feedback, and I’ll check in regularly to make sure everyone’s experience is safe and enjoyable.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen before the first session, during a Session 0 where we’ll discuss concepts and finalize details. You can choose to point buy or roll for stats (4d6 drop the lowest), and we’ll decide together which method works best. Characters will begin at Level 1 and end up at Level 12, We’ll use the three 2024 core rulebooks (Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual) for official content. If you want to use other official sources or homebrew, let me know beforehand. During Session 0, we’ll build your character’s backstory and motivations to ensure they fit into the Heart of Stone campaign.
