“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.

I've played and DM'd a few D&D 5e games and am now looking into other systems, particularly Pathfinder 2e and Daggerheart.

I love complex characters with interesting arcs, but also love tactical, challenging combat and mystery. Basically, I don't mind what is thrown at me as long as it's narratively satisfying!

Having said that, TTRPGs are best when they're social, so I will do everything I can to make games easier and more fun for the people on my table, whatever side of it I'm on.  I love DMs and players that like chatting about the game outside of sessions and really appreciate when expectations are made clear and enforced.
