Questionnaire

Game Style:

1. How do you feel about a game that focuses on combat or roleplaying or a balanced mix?
a. I've only played in one or the other but I'm excited to try
2. Are you more interested in a light-hearted, comedic campaign or a serious, dramatic one?
a. I feel like trying to do one without the other lessens the impact of the feelings
3. What role do you typically enjoy playing in a party? (e.g., frontline, support, spellcaster)
a. I feel I'm pretty fluid in my roles, I can fit whichever I need to
4. Do you want to limit classes to a first come first served basis? (e.g., such as one cleric, one
fighter, one druid, etc.)
a. Nah, theres so many different choices within each class, but none of the same
subclass would be fine with me
5. Are you interested in a linear narrative, or an open-world sandbox styled campaign?
a. Technically open world but with an overarching plot, I'd like to be able to get lost on
the way
6. What is your opinion on Min/Maxing?

a. Not every turn/ encounter has to be optimal

Themes and Content:

1. Are there any specific themes or content (e.g., horror, political intrigue) you'd like to explore
or avoid?

2. Do you have any strong preferences or discomfort with certain in-game topics (e.g.,
violence, romance)?

3. Are there any specific triggers or content warnings you’d like the group to be aware of?

a. None that I can think of

Player Agency:

1. How much agency do you prefer in shaping the story and world around your character?
a. Definitely an impact but it's nice to know the world moves on without direct
interaction

narrative?
a. Good with setbacks, it feels more heroic to overcome them

4. How do you feel about splitting the party?
 a. I don't mind as long as everyone gets a chance to shine
5. Are you comfortable with characters in the party evolving morally over the course of the
campaign? (e.g., A noble paladin becoming a heartless oathbreaker)

a. Yes as long as it's not out of the blue or anything like that with plenty of warnings
and conversations etc

Group Dynamics:

1. How much time do you want set aside for party interaction?
a. Enough that it's not just constant dm narration, and the characters can actually form
opinions on each other
2. Are you open to interparty conflicts or prefer a more cooperative approach?
a. I'm open, not everyone gets along all the time
3. What would you like to happen to your character when you cannot attend a session?
a. If it makes sense for them to not be there that's fine otherwise the group can run
them
4. Would you like to be able to switch your character if you become bored of them? If so how
would you expect to implement this?
a. Yes, we are playing for fun, and it could be anything. Maybe a spell changes them,
maybe they just leave the party and another person shows up
5. How do you think it is best to approach a problem player?
a. send them a message, then ask the group if I'm alone in the feeling to make sure I'm
not just taking things badly, and then if nothing changes leave it up to the group to
decide
6. How do you think it is best to approach the DM when you feel unjustly treated?

a. Explain how I feel and the reasons, see what everyone else thought about what
happened and then it depends on what happens

Pacing and Structure:

a. Yes
