About me

"What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter?" -- DM Gandalf The Grey Mae govannen! DM Robert, a.k.a. Raspberry Bulette here -- a "wanderfully wondering monster" of a Dungeon Master. My passion is running kick-butt games of Dungeons & Dragons for flint-hearted adventurers of all ages and stripes, both online and in person. Currently laired in Japan, I have more than three-and-a-half decades of hard-earned D&D experience, with almost as many years behind the screen DMing. Over the past decade, I've run D&D both in Tokyo and Okinawa professionally -- for after school programs, at local universities, at FLGSs, and for a diverse range of private groups. On a voluntary basis I've run D&D for members of the U.S. Military, and I serve the local D&D community by maintaining D&D Okinawa, a burgeoning FB community connecting its 700+ members together in TTRPG excitement! I am a co-founder, organizer, and regular DM and Player for the flourishing Seven Winds Okinawa (7W) gaming group. Soon to be in its fifth year, it boasts a stable of half a dozen amazing DMs, running games of homebrew D&D in our original, collectively-authored Sword & Sorcery gameworld. The 7W has a roster of more than two dozen active international players, in multiple regular games across the week. As part of the 7W, I've personally run hundreds of sessions of D&D for many dozens of players, both in-person and online, using a broad selection of the latest game/connectivity platforms and essential digital toolsets. My chosen profession, educator, demands that I be a lifelong learner, and this also positively impacts my relationship with D&D. Not a day goes by that I don't discover something new and exciting about "the world's greatest roleplaying game" -- including present, past, and upcoming editions. This state of constant discovery leads me to imagine even more innovative ways of sharing increasingly satisfying experiences of D&D, while bringing together a rich panoply of new and returning players in the spirit of High Adventure. I am absolutely convinced that there is no better way than this for me to speak "friend" through the game I love. --- Visit my DM website for more on my DMing Philosophy, Sessions Offered, and some truly humbling Testimonials from Adventurers for whom I have had the pleasure of running the game: https://sites.google.com/view/raspberry-bulette Note: If you're in the Asia–Pacific (APAC), expect a reasonably prompt reply after you contact me via E-mail, SNS, SP, or my Discord. For the rest of the world, please bear in mind that my time zone is JST (UTC/GMT +9 hours), so it might take time for me to get back to you during my Long Rest.
