The core dice and character progression systems are such a solid foundation that it doesn't really matter for me that there are some rules that I struggle with running (combat/space combat) because you can always fall back on a basic roll and it will result in a dramatic story every time.

“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

“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.

I've been into RPGs since I was little, but rarely get to play with my friends as much as I want. I've DMed multiple times over the years, and want to really hone my craft as a player and a DM.
