“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.

The Iron Kettle
​"I’m an 80s kid and a huge gamer who started on Atari and worked my way up to the newest tech. Growing up, we played D&D and HeroQuest. Stranger Things echt brought that spark back, and recently revisiting HeroQuest with my brothers got me hooked again. When a group I was in fell through, I stepped up to be the DM—and now I thoroughly love it.
