“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.

“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.

“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.

Hello, my name is Carson. I've been playing dnd 5e for a couple years with my friends group. Other than that, we've ran some sessions of Call of Cthulhu and even dabbled in Twilight 2000. I've Dm'ed a couple of very long campaigns and it left me a little burned out. I'm just here after a hiatus and want to try and enjoy these games again.
