About me
Hi there, I'm Rick and I have been running 5th edition D&D and other RPGs nonstop for a decade now. You could say I'm addicted. Now, I'm here to provide the best experience for people who share my love for RPGs.
GM Style
My game style varies based on the group and the mood of the campaign we play, but I like the darker, grittier stories with hard choices. I especially like the Grim Hollow setting and the atmosphere it provides. I tend to focus on challenging combat encounters and explore the drama that each player character's backstory can provide.

Teacher
I have been playing in multiple of Rick's campaigns and he always makes me look forward to the next session. He helped me achieve what I wanted out of the game without fail every time and always prioritized the enjoyment of all his players. He values and rewards creative solutions even if it is bending the rules of the game. I recommend Rick as a GM to players who like the tactical aspect of the game and don't shy away from unexpected turns in a story.
One of my favorite parts in our current campaign has to be the way we started. Our wizards house burnt down, our gunslinger was in jail for arson, and I was just there. We ended up fighting a murderous hobo and got chased by a werewolf in the first session. Afterwards a potentially party wiping monster for a party of level 14's crossed our path our dm played it perfectly as to make it a fun encounter, not an unfair one!
