About Rob - GM Rah
I have come here to chew bubble gum and crush campaigns. And I'm all out of bubble gum! I love both roleplay and combat and tailor the ratio to the needs of the table. I've run a combat and exploration focused Tomb of Annihilation campaign as well as a roleplay heavy and whimsical Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I can be funny, silly, serious, or weird, and I'm not afraid to improvise and follow the needs of players, even if that means going off the rails or side-questing on a whim. I've been running games on Startplaying for over 3 years and running home campaigns over 30 years. I have a ton of experience and I often bring my own stories, art, and maps to the table.

I got started GMing...
At the age of 17 I decided I wanted to run games with epic stories like some of the books I was reading at the time.
My favorite shows/movies are
The Princess Bride Blade Runner Guardians of the Galaxy Star Wars Indiana Jones Akira Ghost in the Shell Everything Studio Ghibli
How Rob - GM Rah runs games
I love storytelling and worldbuilding. I'm very flexible with roleplaying, willing to get into the weeds, or just wing it depending on player style. I'll do voices, but I don't get crazy, nor do I care if others do or do not use them. Tactical combat is fun, but sometimes theater of the mind sets a better scene.
Featured Prompts
If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
I'd like to say Steven Spielberg and Wes Anderson, but they are probably closer to the Coen Brothers and James Gunn.
When it comes to voices
I naturally fall into a voice for most characters, but I sometimes do that in real life too.. so I guess I'm weird.
