About Rocky

Hello there, I'm Rocky! I'm 25 and have basically been playing ttrpgs since I could count, as my dad was an OG D&D player back in the 80s. I started with D&D 3.5e and Pathfinder 1e. I have since mastered D&D 5e, and dabbled in many other ttrpgs since then. The games that stick with me the most are set in my homebrew world of Estrya, where actions players have taken in one campaign impact the lore and history present in the world for future campaigns and players. I've also run published material, like Tales from the Yawning Portal and Spelljammer: Light of Xaryxis, or converted older D&D modules like Rock of Bral into the 5e system.

I got started GMing...

My first time DMing was on my living room floor with a bunch of my high school friends. It was a quick one-shot and I had NO plan but we had tons of fun. Fast forward 10 years since then and I've run many many more games, both online and in person.

My favorite books are

⚔️Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao 🌹The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton ⚙️Transformers: Lost Light by James Roberts

When I'm not running games I'm...

Reading as many books as possible, visiting my favorite board game cafe to play games with friends, or snuggling with my pet dogs and foster cats🥰

How Rocky runs games

✨Why pick me as your DM?✨ I am new player friendly, and am always happy to teach anyone how the game works. I have successfully converted several new players into D&D-for-lifers! All in all I love it when characters get creative and take the narrative to places I hadn't even imagined. I can't wait to play the game with you💖

I prep by

Notion is my best friend! I have been told that I have an entire Wikipedia worth of world building notes😂 In addition to building complex session plots, I enjoy crafting my own thematic random encounter tables to spice things up!

My games focus on...

- Ample opportunities to roleplay so YOU get to set the scene! - Playing into character fears, personality traits, and backstory - NPCs that feel fleshed out and alive - Lurid location descriptions to set the mood - Sandbox exploring, with an overarching plot to tether the story together

Rocky's ideal table

Players that fit the best at my tables are ones that enjoy getting into the nitty gritty details of their character's backstory and life before the adventure, so that your story can influence the overall plot of the narrative itself! My ideal players are those who enjoy a healthy amount of roleplay and don't mind if combat takes a backseat. My favorite thing is listening in on interparty conversations between players, so be prepared to take the spotlight!

I am for a vibe that's...

relaxed, upbeat, and welcoming! We're all here to have fun after all. I am happy to make accommodations when needed, and stress the importance of consent with a thorough checklist I send out to all my players before they join my games.

My perfect party mix is

Strongman jock-types and the nerdiest wizards imaginable. Think Eric and Presto from the original D&D cartoon if you've seen it. *chef's kiss*
