About me

Hi! I'm Robyn, and I've always absolutely loved D&D and TTRPGs! I learned how to play when I was 14, and 6 years later I've come into my own style as a DM! I focus a lot on spectacle and theatricality, creating emotions from players, what situations garner specific feelings and responses from different kinds of people and the characters they play. I love implementing character backstories and making stories that are personal for each of my PCs!

GM Style

I focus a lot on spectacle and theatricality, creating situations that garner specific feelings and responses from different kinds of people and the characters they play. I specialize in improv and roleplay, doing silly character voices and coming up with NPCs on the spot. I love implementing character backstories and making stories that are personal for each of my PCs. I also love combat, but like to do so in a way that is engaging beyond the simple "kill the goblins."

I've only known Robyn for a short time, but she was a great DM! She ran a couple of oneshots and a lower-level campaign I was in. For the campaign, she was very committed to world-building and integrating the player characters into the world. She did a good job of giving each character the spotlight and was invested in their development. Definitely a fun experience!

She is amazing at keeping her games engaging! She also works behind the scenes with other players to get to know the characters and their backgrounds better. The storytelling was so well done and everyone got their moments to shine. She's helpful with new players and makes sure everyone is on the same page.

Robyn’s been a welcoming, imaginative, and awesome dungeon master every time I’ve gamed with her. More than once she’s home brewed a setting for a one shot so unique it’s felt criminal not to keep playing and finish a campaign or two. Silly voices out the wazoo from an aspiring voice actress. Actively encourages player ideas and makes sure they show up in games. Would recommend :]

Robyn's games are all about the vibes and the story. If you're a new player looking for someone to welcome you to the story without sweating over the details, or if you're an experienced player that wants to delve more into roleplay-heavy games, Robyn is a great choice. Her game was so much fun, and she does a great job at invoking emotions across the spectrum while playing intricate characters. She is a great choice for any player looking for an amazing story!

I'm completely new to all this, I was quite nervous and didn't even know how to navigate this D&D stuff but Robyn was supremely beginner friendly and showed me the ropes. I was surprised by the immense amount of detail into the environment as well as the background details (Music, backstreet, etc.) Would definitely recommend Robyn to anyone wanting to take a crack at this

Games I've played with Robyn have been weaved with the player characters in mind from the outset, rather than starting with a story and adding the players subsequently. She puts an immense amount of effort into story-building with her players, and does amazing things with detailed backstories. She also puts an incredible amount of effort into the infrastructure surrounding her games, taking the time to prepare music and the like for each session.
