“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.

In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.

Mr. Tan the Magishen

Hello! I go by Mr. Tan or Tan. I love adventure, magic, high fantasy, low fantasy, whimsical juxtaposed to scientific, comedy and plot twists, world building, and TTRPG game design. IRL, I am a teacher who sponsors DnD club, which makes me the forever DM for my students. When I do play, I usually play the 4 classics: Cleric, Wizard, Fighter, or Rogue.
