“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.

“Realm Building” games focus on the development, expansion, and management of something bigger than a single party, where the characters may find themselves in charge of a kingdom, faction, settlement, or organization. Over the course of gameplay, players might manage resources, make decisions that shape nations, or even guide large-scale conflicts as part of the ongoing story.

About me – I'm Tom, 31, and I have some experience both as a player and as a DM in D&D. I enjoy exploring the creative possibilities of tabletop RPGs and bringing a character to life, with all their strengths and flaws. I particularly enjoy playing in a group that is supportive, respectful, and makes sure everyone gets their share of the spotlight. I work with KPIs in talent acquisition and have two young children.
