D&D Beyond

“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

“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.

Combat 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.

Semi new to D&D. Really only played one game of it but i do know most the rules so I wouldn’t say “inexperienced”. Just want to have a good time and play one of the thousands characters i have 😭. I like good roleplay and fun combat. Don’t mind if one is more focused depending on campaign. Not a big fan of stick in the mud hardcore rule followers, I believe rules are a great guide on how to play and a reference for tuff decision but i think rule of cool and reason should be priority.
