“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.

I am an old school gamer, who started with basic D&D back in the early '80s. I played any system I could throughout the '80s, 90s, & 00's. Kids and other hobbies, mainly re-enacting with the SCA, took me away for a few decades. I have been playing 5e(2024) since the 2024 rule set came out.
