Gameplay details

Gameplay will involve social interactions, inter-character development, exploring, combat, etc. In session 0, we will discuss our limits/preferences and how we will express them. I enjoy making things challenging. While providing more agency. Allowing my players to have fun with their character. You do not have to play super optimally and meta game. Think outside of the box, and roleplay your character. But my games can end in death. I give plenty of hints and insight checks if needed. But your choices are your own. I follow the rules when they make sense. If it gets in the way of something awesome. The awesome thing will happen. I may lookup a rule, but not for longer than a minute. I have a few custom rules to enhance player agency. I like to have everyone feel like they are integrated into the story being created. The game will be every wednesday evening. And go from levels 1 - 12.
