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!

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.

Started playing in college shortly after 3.0 came out. Have played a variety of systems in the past, including Pathfinder 1e/2e, Vampire: the Masquerade, and Star Wars, but I am most familiar with DnD. Most of my experience is as a player, though I have been DMing more as of late.
