About me

I love Dungeons and Dragons, truthfully. I'm Riko, and I've been running Dungeons and Dragons games with the 5th edition rule-set since its release, for six years. I've had the pleasure of knowing many adventurers of different backgrounds, skills, and talents over the years, and it is through their combined efforts I have come to love everything tabletop roleplaying has been able to provide, and learning to love the joy I can bring to them through it. Nothing has topped my passion for the game, and from the support of everyone I've come to cherish, I can also consider it my career. As a dungeon master, and running the games I do through Startplaying, I am able to support all my endeavors and have taken on the mantle as a full-time job. Hours spent handcrafting maps, stories, and tales for my tables is time well invested, and each session provides something new to learn. My tables feature grand heroism, dark powers, plots and intrigue and always a little bit of chaos. It is my goal for each session to provide you with a storied world with action, passion, fear, relaxation and excitement in all flavors. I eagerly hope to bring this love for storytelling to you all, and that you'll join me in the endeavor. Welcome, adventurers, and I hope you enjoy your stay.

GM style

My games are a constant balance between the stories I create and the tales told by my players, working in tandem to provide compelling tales, arcs, and story beats which allow characters to grow, develop, and gain fame and fortune and power, while also experiencing loss, struggle, and pain. I focus primarily on heavy roleplay, providing fleshed out, voiced NPCs who challenge and encourage the players, as well as intuitive villains and complex adversaries. Combat works as a medium to press narratives, as well as show the character's progression in terms of physical and mental strength. Larger than life monsters, forgotten ruins, and rich lore give an immersive experience which pulls you in to another world, creating a grand stage to tell tales of glory!
