“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.

In 2020 I started started crafting imaginary worlds for my friends to explore and stuck with TTRPGs or actual play ever since. I love exploring worlds that operate on their own set of rules, while I usually take an "Emotions First" approach to storytelling. Big shoutout to Made in Abyss for inspiration. As someone who has basically only ever been the DM, I really look forward to experiencing the unknown while thoroughly exploring the depth of each party member or NPC.
