About GM D-Rock

Hello RPG Friends 👋 My name is Derek and I’m here to run games for YOU! I’m a Husband, a Dad, a ex-traveling musician, an Information Systems Manager and tabletop-role playing game enthusiast! When I’m not working or being a family man I’m thinking about creating exciting tales and weaving fun stories for friends with RPG’s like high fantasy D&D, horror and intrigue with Vampire The Masquerade or heist with tactical combat with Rifts or ShadowRun. I’ve been running games since I was a wee lad of 16, some of my most foundational memories are with friends/family rolling dice and building stories together. I think as a musician my natural go-to is to always synchronize with the people around me, so if you join one of my games you’re guaranteed to have a fun but also safe experience. One of my favorite in-game tools are mini games to help break up the story and give players a way to win together. I’ve implemented a ton of these into my home games and you can expect them in yours! I get a lot of my gameplay ideas from fantasy novels or sci-fi movies/shows so if you ever catch me and identify a plot line I've borrowed, you’ll for sure win an inspiration point! :D Specialties: World-Building: Crafting immersive and dynamic worlds is my passion. From intricate maps to rich lore, I strive to create environments that feel alive and ripe for exploration. Narrative Depth: Delve into captivating story arcs woven with intrigue, mystery, and epic showdowns. Your choices shape the narrative, leading to truly unique adventures. Character Development: Your characters are the heart of the story. I provide ample opportunities for growth, development, and memorable roleplaying moments. Flexibility: Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the tabletop scene, I adapt to the needs and preferences of my players, ensuring everyone has a fulfilling experience. Game Systems: Dungeons & Dragons (5th Edition) - Eberron - Forgotten Realms - Dark Sun - Planescape Rifts Starfinder Vampire The Masquerade ( 2nd edition ) Learning: DaggerHeart! And more! I'm always eager to explore new systems and settings. What to Expect: Engaging Sessions: Prepare for sessions filled with suspense, laughter, and epic moments that will leave you craving more. Inclusive Atmosphere: I prioritize inclusivity, respect, and collaboration at the gaming table. All players are welcome regardless of experience level, background, or identity. Reliable Schedule: I strive to maintain a consistent and reliable schedule to ensure that our adventures progress smoothly.
