About me
Hi, I'm Rob aka Bud. I've played and run games for over 20 years now (oh no... what even is time?!) and over those two decades I've learned that above everything else I love to make people smile. I live for telling a story with others where we all get to feel something. I'm a huge nerd when it comes to the psychology of games and the opportunities they off to help us grow because I know my life would not be where it is today without them. I guess this the gaming equivalent to a dating profile so let's just jam through the things that will let you know if you'd like me enough to play a game with me. Bud.... - is a Bombastic Bisexual Bear who is maybe a bit too protective of his friends. - loves to make new friends by bonding over make believe and shared stories. - has a looooong game record and lives for investment and will definitely commit to the bit - loves over the top moments whether they be comedy, drama, action or horror. - is big on finding and providing escapism, the world is rough and boy howdy do we all need a break sometimes! - struggles to run long term horror games because he can't help but smile too much - loves adventuring in the real world as well whether it be LARPing, hiking, disc golfing or mountain biking
GM Style
My games are where cinematic storytelling meets collaborative chaos. I specialize in narrative-driven, emotionally resonant adventures that aren't afraid to veer from the rules in service of drama, tension, and player creativity. I shoot for a blend of action, comedy, and heartfelt moments. To me there is just as much importance in a gritty heroic standoff as there is in watching four raccoons launch a makeshift kart off a ramp into madness. Whether you're a seasoned roleplayer or someone who's just found their dice, I do my damedest to create space for everyone to shine, weaving character backstories into the world like a conspiracy waiting to unravel. At my table, I strive to make the vibe flexible and inclusive, with strong safety tools and a commitment to spotlight sharing and pacing. I aim to create an environment where bold choices are rewarded, quiet moments matter, and every player feels like their story matters. Think action-packed therapy session meets emotionally-charged improv with a hint of bizarro Saturday morning cartoon. All guided by a neuro-spicy queer GM who’s here to tell unforgettable stories with you.
