How Levi Van Stappen runs games
As a Dungeon Master, I thrive on the diverse challenges and opportunities that D&D sessions present. My primary focus is on catering to the unique style and preferences of each group I lead. I understand that different players and groups have varied expectations and interests when it comes to the game. Some groups might lean towards a role-playing intensive experience, delving deep into character backstories and interactions. Others may prefer a more laid-back approach, not getting too bogged down by the rules and enjoying the narrative flow. Then there are those who relish the strategic depth of D&D, engaging fully with its core mechanics and rules to overcome challenges. My approach is to encourage the group to collectively decide on their style of play at the outset. This democratic method ensures that everyone is on the same page and contributes to a shared gaming experience that is both enjoyable and fulfilling for all involved. I prioritize fun and engagement over stringent adherence to rules. While I respect and follow the game's framework, I am a firm believer in the "rule of cool" – if a player proposes an action that is exceptionally creative or thrilling, I am inclined to allow it, even if it bends the conventional rules. After all, the heart of D&D lies in the shared stories we create and the memorable moments we craft together. Above all, I view D&D as a game meant for enjoyment and escapism. Whether it's through epic battles, intricate puzzles, or deep role-playing, I aim to deliver an experience that is engaging, balanced, and fun for everyone at the table.
