About Bobby Ellis
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!

How Bobby Ellis runs games
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.

My favorite trope is...
I don't know if I have a favorite trope, but I always have someone living in the dungeon.
My games focus on...
Making sure that my players are having fun. I enjoy my players being engaged, so I worry more about that then sticking to a set plan.
When it comes to voices
I do what I can. There's a lot of British people in my fantasy games, not necessarily by choice.
Bobby Ellis's ideal table
I try to build a very cooperative space at the table, making sure that no one hogs the spotlight or goes against the group in a way that makes things frustrating outside of game. Same games require in-game conflict between the characters but I don't want it spilling out. My table is a good fit for you if you like a solid mix of roleplay and combat.
Featured Prompts
I am for a vibe that's...
Dark yet funny.
I think it's a red flag when players...
Try tell other players how to play their character.
My table is not the place for...
Forced romances. To keep things easy, NPCs, unless for a specific reason are not going to respond to your character's advances.
