What is 'troupe-style' role-playing?
Most tabletop role-playing systems position players in two groups: the party who design player characters and act as them throughout adventures; and the Game Master (or Dungeon Master, or Keeper, or Storyteller, etc.) who plays as all other characters, sets challenges and provides setting, rules and the universe the game is set in.

This campaign uses 'troupe-style' play. Popularised by Ars Magica, troupe-style play has no singular Game Master who dictates non-player details. Instead, all players take turns in the role of Keeper (as is the term used in Monster of the Week) where they direct a certain individual story in the overall narrative of the campaign.
