My favourite is the Star Wars FFG system but I have experienced others. I look forward to seeing other systems. My answer may change overtime.

Rules are guidelines. Where majority are to keep the game mechanically running, sometimes it is ok to break or ignore some. Especially when if following it will affect the players fun.

it is alright if that is what you want to do, if you think that will be fun. At the end of the day, it is your character. If they don't have fun with it, well I didn't force them to do it.

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Play By Post refers to a game in which players interact with the story through messages and text posts. These games are typically played asynchronously throughout the week, which gives players time to consider what they want to do next, and engage with the story at their own pace.

In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.

Hello, I am a newer DM with many experiences under other DMs. Both good and bad times. I look forward to making new experiences with different people and open to creating new friendships. Tabletops have been my escape for years and I hope to be able to provide that for others.
