What Natasha š The Anthologist brings to the table
šŗļøThis is a play-by-post (PBP) game, you can expect a rich, visual experience. I love using character art, maps [Owlbear Rodeo], and other visual aids to bring the world to life. Between missions, weāll also use downtime activities and the Bastion rules (starting at level 5) to help you develop your character and leave your mark on the world. š My GM style blends Rule of Cool with respect for the rules. I reward creativity and bold choices, but I also value consistency and fairness for everyone at the table. Think of it as a flexible structure where the story always comes first. āIām here to build something collaborative and exciting with you. Iāll support your characterās goals and give you meaningful choices, but I also expect players to stay engaged, play respectfully, and contribute to the shared story. To keep the momentum, I expect regular daily check-ins and posts from both players and myself. Consistent communication is essential, if you need a break or expect delays, please let me know in advance so we can adjust accordingly.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew content is welcome, as long as itās discussed and approved ahead of time. Iām happy to work with you to bring creative character concepts or flavorful mechanics to life, so donāt be afraid to ask! This game is generally ran/played Rules-As-Written, but some tweaks or additions may come up situationally to keep the pace and fun flowing, but weāll always prioritize clarity and fairness for everyone involved.
