I started role-playing in the 90’s and quickly became a Forever GM. After some years away from gaming, I’m ready for more than just reading sourcebooks. My games tend towards mysteries and multilayered plots.

Initially, because no one else would. I kept Gaming because I loved setting up a world and watching where my players would take it. I built ny games around player agency because that’s what I think is fun. I don’t want to know the ending, only the next stop on the road.

“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.

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions. 

Theater of the Mind

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.
