“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. 

Roleplay Heavy

A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!

“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.

“Puzzle / Mystery Focused” games are traditionally built around uncovering secrets, solving strange occurrences, and using clever thinking to move through the story. Players may investigate clues, crack riddles, or unravel a deeper story hidden beneath the surface.

I am the forever DM for all of my groups, so I rarely get to sit at a table and play a single character. I relish the chance when I am able. I enjoy roleplay, mystery and heavy narrative games. That being said, I do enjoy a good dungeon crawl or gritty combat to spice things up. I am a lover of all things spooky, so I gravitate towards dark fantasy as well as investigative horror. 

I am not a powergamer, I struggle with overly long shopping sessions and completely check out when grouped with chaotic murderhobo parties.
