“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.

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

“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.

“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.

Heya! I'm Mer, a neurodivergent enjoyer of collaborative storytelling! It's my soul-food— the layers, the depth, the realism and the grit! As a player, my favourite aspects of roleplay are meaningful, narrative-driven character interactions with fellow party-members. My favourite style of games include: gritty/dark fantasy, urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic sci-fi and dystopian cyberpunk futures. 

💪 STRONKS: highly collaborative + creative, high attention to detail, follows rules + processes happily.
🫠 WEAKS: bad at math, weak at puzzles, struggles when rules are very loosey-goosey (no framework to stick to).
