Gameplay details

Everything I do is in service to the players. I do not have fun unless everyone is having fun. Role play I feel is the best way to do this. Be that out of combat or in combat. If your character has a signature move that doesn't quite fit the character sheet I love to see it! Combat Is also a fav of mine. Be that a battle of wills or just plain fist a cuffs. Fast-paced and chaotic, as long as I feel everyone is getting a fair share of the spotlight anything goes! As for difficulty we usually go over it in a session 0 or before a session. The only thing I really don't allow is disrespect to other players. People play to have fun and enjoy themselves. This includes the obvious things like racism, sexism and other isms. But also more subtle things. Like being conscience of the spotlight and player concerns. Not taking character views as the players views etc. 🍺 Adore customization (Homebrew) 🤝 Values player choice and creativity 🎲 Immersive and engaging gaming experiences
