About me
Hey there, I'm Doc, and I firmly believe in the power of good stories. When I GM, I try my dangdest to create experiences for players that are immersive, inclusive, and inspiring, because when you leave the "table" after a great game, it sticks with you forever. I still tell stories about the time I've spent as a player and GM on streamed actual-plays and in person, and I hope you will too. I've worked as a writer and playtester, and get so much joy out of streaming games with friends and talented roleplayers. I'm currently working on modules for several systems, as well as system-agnostic resources to plug into your home games. But one thing I really love? Introducing someone to TTRPGs for the first time. So invite a friend, expect the unexpected, and get ready to follow where adventure leads!
GM Style
What I do: ๐ฌ - Cinematic storytelling - Games that feel big, beautiful and bold ๐คฃ - Humor - I love laughter at the table, and it happens a lot ๐ - Feelings - I love depth too! Moments that give you the feels ๐ฃ - Silly NPC voices - But I won't promise they're good ones ๐ถ - Music, ambience, maps and tokens - A curated environment to pull you deeper into the story ๐ณโ๐ - A safe and welcoming table - You belong here - Queer? Neurodivergent? Disabled? Yo, me too. BIMPOC? I'm not, but I love you and want to provide a safe and fun place to play! ๐ - Beginner-friendly games - If I taught my own kids how to play, I can teach you. And I'm happy to do it! ๐ฆบ - Safety Tools - to ensure that the content you'll find here is what you feel comfortable with ๐ - Kindness - Always and always. The world is a hard place, so let's make our game a kind one What I don't do: ๐ - Stress over rules - they're great until they're not. The story comes first. ๐ - Make someone feel bad for not knowing something โ - Tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, or other toxic stuff ๐ - Spoil the ending

Had a lot of fun with Doc. There was good music, story, and voices. He was kind and responsive to all my questions about character creation and the world rules as well. Looking forward to seeing everything this campaign has to offer.

Playing Doc's game is a fantastic way to learn a new system. He is very helpful, and encourages player creativity. He is also an immersive story teller, he sets the mood of the game, and deliver the twist perfectly. Me and my friends enjoy his game very much.

DocRimbo is a great Game Master. He sets a great mood, his combats are fun, and the roleplay is rock solid. Each NPC felt like a unique individual. He also masterfully handled turning a group of characters into a party. I would highly recommend you check out one if his games.

Doc is one of my all-time favorite GMs because they are thoughtful, hilarious and the utmost at PACING. I have experienced this person take 5 players individually through an entire session in 5 different scenarios before seamlessly bringing them back together and never once leaving anyone feeling bored or unengaged. They utilize ample safety tools and additionally tell each player at the end of a session their own separate โStarโ for a particularly fun or exciting moment (something I fully admit to stealing and employing in my own gamesโlove you, Doc!) Doc makes every game fun, exciting, and will always surprise their players with somethingโwhether it is hysterically funny or horrifying just depends on the game! Play with Doc today!!
