D&D Beyond

“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.

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.

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

I've only recently started to actually play DnD but have been following podcasts and shows like Dimension 20 and Critical Role for years now. They started as my pandemic comfort show, and now it's becoming a great way for me to unwind and enjoy some time with fellow creatives and storytellers! I love how DnD makes me think and put myself into worlds and situations I would never find myself in in real life (surprisingly, I haven't ever been a 3'4", 78 year old rock gnome before, crazy I know!!)
