About me
20+ years DMing experience, DGBA Larper for 10+ years. I started with MERPS and the Rolemaster system, as a DM, while playing in a AD&D game. I have DMed Rifts, AD&D, Tales from the Floating Vagabond, Cyberpunk, DnD 5e, and the amount of systems I have played in over the decades is more than double this list. I love TTRPGs, I stream them on my own Channel, Twitch.tv/Ockraven, and Twitch.tv/OrcSkull Runner's Rise. I am a Homebrew experienced DM, from a Gygaxian era. If you are interested in playing Cyberpunk Red, from a person who played 2020 and loved it, then choomba your in for a ride. My goal is to bring the Science, power fantasy, and style of the Golden Cyberpunk era, with the more dystopian fiction of Red. Through this process, the focus is on player engagement and enjoyment. After all, its your world to play in, I'm just the Global Operations Director in charge of it. Your choices, decisions, and planning will have a effect on the Living world, I have created for you all. No matter what games you play, with whatever DM you choose, I hope you enjoy your table top role playing time.
GM Style
I am a DM that believe the best sessions come from player engagement and player enjoyment. I am a Homebrew enthusiasts, and not a rules lawyer. I do run a deadlier cyberpunk world that most, however, I also run a world that makes sense, and more founded in the Science, and not the Fi. I am great with new players, and experienced players alike. I want a safe environment for all, as we are all trying to do the same thing. Throw some dice, and escape into Roleplaying for a few hours.

Rule of Cool
Ockraven is a amazing DM with a knack for storytelling and world building. From full personalities with NPCs to places your character never had any business going. He is very knowledgeable about the games he runs as well as a great teacher of such. Want a game night to remember? Look no farther, see you around chooms.
If you want to make your biggest, wildest cyberpunk dreams come true and really get a taste of the genre and the delights of Night City then Ock is for you. An incredible world builder, a dedicated game master and a very experienced storyteller all around. I have been very lucky to be in one of his cyberpunk games and see my characters progress and develop with custom storylines in a dynamic world. Ock is one of the best game master's I've had the pleasure to play with and I look forward to many more sessions with him.
I have played games with the DM for a long time and have had others try to do what he does but fail. If you love a DM who can deal with the craziness and loves to homebrew, you're in for a treat. From Worlds to custom classes this guy knows how to blend a world and make it feel alive.
Played in a CyberpunkRed campaign with Ock as the resident GM. It was an absolutely fantastic experience, mixing in both serious and comedic opportunities for roleplay, a firm grasp of the rules (both as written and of course the rule of cool) and an engaging overarching storyline. He is by far a professional of his craft!
If you are usually the forever DM, Ock is the DM for you. He will use your character back story in an inventive and equally terrifying encounters. He is prepared for player curveballs, and can quickly adapt to changing scenerios the players come up with. He has a love of Homebrew, but works it well in to the story and setting. He has a flair for insuring the spirit of the rule doesn't break the fun being had at the table. You'll definitely want to pull up a chair and listen to tale being told.
I've been playing in Ockraven's Cyberpunk Red campaigns for over two years now. In general, he is an excellent GM, pulling character backstories into the campaign, supporting and elevating player agency, and knows the rules inside and out. In specific regards to the Cyberpunk world, this is where he truly shines. He brings the world of cyberpunk to life with small details that make the world feel real, grounded, and lived in. Even more impressive, he is a master of crafting the kind of intrigue, backstabbing, survival, and utter chaos that is the hallmark of the Cyberpunk milieu. I give him high marks all around, I absolutely love playing in his games.
