“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.

In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.

I’ve been playing and DM’ing D&D for almost a decade, and it’s brought some of my closest friendships into my life. I’m naturally pretty reserved, but once I settle into a game I’m fully present and invested.
I love writing about my characters in my own time—especially the ones who feel like they might actually survive long enough to deserve a backstory. I’m comfortable with D&D Beyond, VTTs, and Discord, and I’m generally easygoing at the table. Dark themes don’t faze me, and I’m happiest in groups that enjoy a mix of creativity, collaboration, and a bit of chaos.
