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.

“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.

I am fairly new to D&D. I've only played a few times and my DM friend moved away. I'd like to try my hands at DMing but I'm a bit nervous (and it's hard to get a group together). I was hoping to play with a few groups and learn or maybe just find a regular game online to scratch my itch. 

I like the immersion / character development aspect more than the fantasy or world-building part... My introduction and interest to D&D came through boardgames and comic books. I'm a big fan of physical dice and theatre of the mind.
