About me
Hail and well met, adventurer! My name is Robert and I am a life long lover of all things nerdy. I like to dabble in a bit of everything but my favorite hobbies are TTRPGs and video games. I've been playing and DMing starting in the early 90s with AD&D and Tunnels & Trolls and continuing through high school and some college. After a bit of a hiatus, I came back to the game in 5e and have really enjoyed getting back into the hobby both as a player and as a DM. I am a US Air Force veteran living currently living in Texas with my wife of 17 years and our 2 children, as well as a menagerie of pets including 2 dogs and 6 cats. I started running games on SPG as a side gig doing something that I love to help support my family. It has been an absolute joy to meet and play with so many wonderful people here and I hope to keep doing this for many years to come. I am always open to questions so if there is anything else you want to know, feel free to ask. I'm looking forward to adventuring with you! Lightning round! Here are (in no particular order) some of my favorite... Books - Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Dresden Files, Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy Movies/Directors - Boondock Saints, SLC Punk, Star Wars, Guy Ritchie, Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino Music - Metal, rock, punk Games - Borderlands, Fallout, Diablo, X-Com, Dark Souls, Brutal Legend, Elder scrolls TV Shows - Futurama, Rick and Morty, Star Trek, Firefly Anime - Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Warhammer 40k armies - Chaos marines, Tyranids, Orks
GM Style
Inclusion - yes, that means you too! I strive to make my table welcoming for people of all genders, orientations and identities. I love meeting people whose backgrounds are different from mine and learning from them and their life experiences. If this bothers you, my table is not the right place for you. Variety - the spice of life! I love all aspects of the game and prefer to have a balance between different aspects of play and I am always willing to shift that balance based on what the players are interested in. I love to make people laugh but I also like to include both seriousness and comedy, lighthearted moments and gut-wrenching drama, dangerous near-death experiences and heroic victory. I love to subvert expectations and keep my players on their toes, but most importantly I want everyone to have a great time. Player Agency - your character is yours alone! I want everyone to have a chance to make meaningful contributions to the party and fulfill their character fantasies. You built your character to do really cool stuff and I want to give you the chance to do that cool stuff! I want to give all my players memories of awesome moments that you can tell stories about for years to come. A major TTRPG pet peeve of mine is when a GM tells the player what their character does, thinks, or feels. Your bond with your character is sacred and I have the rest of the entire game world to play with. Balance - challenging but fair! I am a fairly permissive GM but I also do my best to make sure all the player characters are on a fairly level playing field where everyone has a chance to shine. Your path will be fraught with danger and peril, but not to an unfair degree. I am not out to be combative and do not actively try to kill characters, but I do find that the game is much more interesting when death is a very real possibility and when your choices matter and carry weight. Narrative Focus - telling a cool story together! One of my favorite aspects of TTRPGs is the collaborative storytelling. I love when the players and their characters to help drive the story and the world building. A core pillar of my games is ensuring the decisions your characters make are meaningful, and have a real impact on the world around them. I love allowing the players' actions to influence the direction of the campaign. I want to give you the opportunity to explore the story of your character and I also love working backstories into the campaign. House Rules: I only have a few house rules and they are focused on creating a better playing experience and characters that are more fun to play.
