Rollin has an intricately developed homebrew world complete with all sorts of lore. He runs exciting adventures that allow the players to immerse their characters in the story. His DM style is a successful and unique combination of old-school D&D and modern roleplaying. I highly recommend playing a game with Rollin.
Rollin has set up a world and a community that is more than just your one game. There are numerous games with dozens of players that you can interact with (if you want to!), many of them set in the same world. In your individual game, Rollin is great at letting you build in your backstory to the entire plot, or a subplot that they come back to when you least expect it. He's relaxed and flexible, yet has a plan all along to both encourage and mess with your characters.
Rollin is an excellent DM. Iām part of 2 of his games and heās very patient and allows for creative problem solving and rule of cool while still adhering to the rules. His own homebrew setting is great and itās full of interesting characters and a deep rich lore. Highly recommended DM.
Rollin provides an awesome combination of role-play and combat opportunities. Not only is Rollin extremely knowledgeable about the tips/tricks you can do to fully utilize your characters' strengths, but they are incredibly patient for newcomers. There's a good blend of guiding the party along the story while leaving room for organic relationships, goals, and plots to form. The sessions feel full of content but fly by at the same time, which in my experience with virtual D&D, is super rare and I'm grateful to have found the campaign. Also great visual aids with the use of NPC character art, maps, and virtual backdrops.

How to prepare
All players will need discord and a microphone in order to play. A DND Beyond account would also be needed for access to any books should the player require them. Links to the virtual table top and DND Beyond content will be provided day of.
What I provide
I have all the books (prior to the 2024 rule change) currently available on DND Beyond for players to use, I create custom MidJourney artwork and tokens for all NPCs (named and generic) and for PCs that don't have their own art/tokens they would like to use. I create most of my own battle maps. I have several Foundry mods that make the game unique, and years of gaming and improv experience to work through whatever cogs you throw in my plans as is of course the main objective for all my players.
Gameplay details
Please check tags and if there are any phobias or issues with the content listed or not listed please let me know as your comfort is more important than the plot lines I have created. Anonymous X cards will also be used on the virtual table top as a way to signal a pause to the game should at any moment anyone have issues with the content.
