About me
Hey friends! I'm Rollin, a passionate and experienced TTRPG Game Master with a love for storytelling and a talent for creating immersive game worlds. I'm actually named after my dad's D&D character, and my own journey with TTRPGs began when I was 9 years old and played 2nd edition D&D with my dad. Since then, I have played and learned at least some of every edition. My games are roleplay-heavy, with a focus on character development and storytelling. However, I also enjoy throwing in some dungeon crawls and epic battles to keep the players on their toes, after all who doesn't want to blow things up? Whatever the scenario, I always focus on creating an inclusive and welcoming space for all players to feel comfortable, respected, and free to express themselves. In addition to Dungeons and Dragons, I have played and loved many other TTRPGs, including All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Pathfinder, and Star Wars. I'm always willing to learn new systems and run games for players who are passionate about different games.

Creating your character
Characters will begin at level 1. We can create characters together on session zero or individually beforehand. All pre 2024 content allowed, other than that no species or class restriction.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need both a Discord and Forge account. Sessions will be run through a combination of Discord and Foundry Virtual Table Top (on Forge). A microphone is required for the voice chat on Discord. Foundry VTT is where dice rolls and combat will take place. Forge: https://forge-vtt.com/
What Rollin Frank brings to the table
All 2014 books on D&D Beyond will be available to players. I create custom MidJourney artwork and tokens for all NPCs (named and generic) and for PCs that request it. I have several Foundry mods that make the game unique. I also offer years of gaming and improv experience that help make my campaigns immersive.
Homebrew rules
Homebrew Rules I Always Use: Healing Potions can be used as a bonus action to heal self for rolled amount or a standard action for max possible amount. Death Saves are made Private (Only GM and Player see result) or Blind (Only GM sees result) to keep other party members immersed in the risk of losing a companion. Homebrew Rule I Take a Vote On: Exhaustion when reduced to 0 Hit Points.

How Rollin Frank creates a safe table
Not all of the listed content warnings will necessarily appear in session but could occur due to the nature of the game. 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.
