“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.

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!

“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.

“Puzzle / Mystery Focused” games are traditionally built around uncovering secrets, solving strange occurrences, and using clever thinking to move through the story. Players may investigate clues, crack riddles, or unravel a deeper story hidden beneath the surface.

Hi there! Cam here! I've been playing TTRPGs for over 10 years and still can't get enough. I have dabbled a bit in DMing but find that my favorite role is still as a player. I tend to really enjoy heavier role play and LOVE to create continuity between my character and the spells or weapons they choose. Definitely not a min-maxer over here lol.

Bird nerd in real life and spend a lot of time outside in my hammock reading or competitively doing escape rooms. You'll see the natural world, my love of epic fantasy, and my puzzle solving skills if I'm at your table :) 💚
