“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.

“Roleplay Lite” games typically include some story and character interactions but keep the emphasis on other gameplay elements like exploration or combat. While these games can still feature character-driven moments, they tend to favor quicker scenes with less focus on extensive backstories or dramatic roleplay.

“Combat Lite” games typically focus less on combat encounters and more on roleplay, storytelling, and exploration. Combat tends to be shorter, less frequent, resolved in a more narrative style, or absent altogether, while keeping the story as the primary focus.

“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.

Hey, I’m Mike, though most people call me Muffin. I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs for about 12 years, with experience on both sides of the table, but I really value the player perspective and what makes a game enjoyable for everyone involved.

As a player, I’m big on collaboration, staying engaged, and helping build moments that make the story better for the whole group, not just my character. I enjoy a mix of roleplay, tactical decision making, and those “rule of cool” moments, and I always try to support the table so everyone gets a chance to shine.

Having DM experience, I also respect the flow of the game and the effort that goes into running it. I’m easy to work with, open to feedback, and focused on making sure the table stays fun, inclusive, and engaging for everyone.
