About me
Hey there, my name is Rudy and I love being a Dungeon Master. Ever since I ran my first D&D game in the 1990s for my brother and friend, I have never looked back. I'm a pretty easy going person by nature and love to have a good laugh. I'm very inspired to see what kind of characters my players come up with and how they will fit into the worlds I create. I want you to feel like you are a part of everything and that every decision you make as a character has an impact. I truly enjoy creating fantastical worlds unequalled in their beauty, emotion, historical depth, and ability to delight with a few surprises here and there. I tend towards Homebrew games as they allow me to really open up my imagination and greatly inspire me. At the end of the day I'm just another player like everyone else and I desire nothing more than for everyone to enjoy the game just as much as me.
GM Style
I have been running Dungeons and Dragons since the 1990's. Over the course of my extensive experience I have run short campaigns and long term campaigns lasting several years. I have a passion for creating living stories and adventures that my players can experience in a fantastical world. I strive to create an exciting world full of intriguing mysteries, alluring treasure, and deep NPCs that are rewarding to discover. I endeavor to create a highly immersive experience that is unmatched, such as extremely descriptive game environments, exciting and dynamic combat full of interactive opportunities, freedom of choice, and atmospheric music that changes based on the mood and situation. Furthermore, I love roleplaying and creating realistic voices for NPCs and acting them out in a colorful way. I also take great pride in creating custom characters, stories, and encounters not included in the written material to keep things interesting! Above all I want to make sure that everyone has a good time and gets the experience they wanted. I will strive to help you create your character and a backstory if desired. I welcome both new and experienced players to my game!

Rudy is great at respecting player agency. In all the games I have played in his settings, I always feel like my choices matter and that the world is capable of changing based on my decisions. Also he is great at making you feel like you are in an immersive world with things going on in the background. Rudy has great improv skills, I am always surprised when I see what he comes up with. I recommend
Liv
Of all the GMs I’ve had for paid games, Rudy has been the best. He’s kind and patient with his players, runs a well-paced and streamlined game, and encourages and facilitates players taking creative approaches to solving problems. He always reached out to check if I was okay when things might have seemed a bit unfair (like when my character got a smaller share of the loot than the rest of the party) and worked with me to ensure I was enjoying the game.

He always kept it moderate, but allowed interpretation while being inclusive of different ideas
Carlie
I have played four games with him and he does an excellent job. He learns his player's characters and our backstories so he can put in special character beats. He amends modules to make them more player focused. He is very good at handling player conflict. He has a good sense of humor and allows for his players to try insane things and rolls with the punches. I have always enjoyed playing with him, and I think anyone else who plays with him would agree.
