About me
Hi there! My name is Bobby and I love helping players tell their stories at the table. I have experience running D&D 5e, the Alien RPG, Vaesen, The One Ring 2e, and Symbaroum. I've published multiple adventures on DMs Guild and am working on more. My games focus on fun but complicated role play that push players to invest in the world and the consequences and combat that is challenging and unique. I hope to see you at my table!
GM Style
Depending on the system, my games range anywhere from the quirky and easy going to gritty and challenging. From me you can expect extremely memorable NPCs, engaging world's filled with mystery, custom story hooks involving your character's backstory, unique enemies that provide challenging and engaging combat, and a DM that cares about the safety of his players.

Bobby has been my GM for two years playing different systems. He always has creative NPCs, fun voices and is very helpful toward beginners.

I really enjoyed our Alien game. On the front end, the game was supposed to be a one-shot, but it ended up being 2 1/2 sessions because of how things went narratively. I appreciated the GM/Bobby being flexible and extending things so that we could have closure on the story. Good knowledge of the rules. Very good NPC voices and injecting personalities into the NPCs. Some nice narrative twists. A fun time all round and would recommend!

My first time playing the Alien game, explained the rules in a fun and clear way so that we were up and running in no time. GM was very good at building tension, developing the story and dealing with unexpected improvisation from the players. Highly recommend this GM.

Bobby has been my friend, coworker, and GM for over 3 years now! I absolutely adore playing his games. I wanted to choose more than three tags because he is great at so many things. He creates rich story, does wonderful voices, works with me when I have a 5 page essay background story for my character and weaves our characters backgrounds into the actually characters in the game. He makes the worlds grueling and horrific but knows when to check in with us to make us feel safe. He is inclusive, supportive when we have questions, and let’s us get creative without going off the rails. Definitely a great GM!!
