What Natasha 📖 The Anthologist brings to the table

🗺️This 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, we’ll 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. 😎 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. ⌚I’m here to build something collaborative and exciting with you. I’ll support your character’s 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 it’s discussed and approved ahead of time. I’m happy to work with you to bring creative character concepts or flavorful mechanics to life, so don’t 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 we’ll always prioritize clarity and fairness for everyone involved.
