About Rob
Hi, I'm Rob! I got my start as a Dungeon Master during the dark times of 2020 as a way to escape, find a meaningful creative outlet, and as a way to connect with those closest to me. Fast forward to 2026, and I have been Dungeon Mastering ever since! Whether you're a brand new player or a seasoned veteran, I'm confident that I'll be able to craft a meaningful and engaging narrative that is perfect for any type of experience level. I have and will occasionally run some pregenerated content, but my preference are longer term campaigns set in my homebrew worlds, with real, grounded characters where backstories matter and will come into play. I have ran and completed multiple one shots, shorter pre-written campaigns, multiyear homebrew campaigns, and am currently in the middle of my first 1-20 run with the 5.5 rules (which I enjoy...) with my in person home game. I enjoy creating mysteries that need solving, political intrigue plotlines, and hard hitting but fair combat that will test your knowledge of the mechanics. I look forward to crafting the next great adventure together - let's get started today!

I got started GMing...
as a way to channel my creativity and fuel my desire to weave incredible stories with my friends. From the humble beginnings of that first table, to the many I have DM'd since - each game seems to get better than the last.
My favorite shows/movies are
some of my favorite media influences that come to mind would be (in no particular order): Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Critical Role, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Codename Kids Next Door, Lord of the Rings, Legends of Avantris, Shrek 2, Bioshock, Spongebob Squarepants, Treasure Planet, and Scary Movie 3.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
engaging, thoughtful, and delightful.
How Rob runs games
I got my start as a Dungeon Master during the dark times of 2020 as a way to escape and to connect with those closest to me. Fast forward to 2026, and I have been Dungeon Mastering ever since! I have ran some pregenerated content, but my preference are homebrew worlds, with real, grounded characters who's backstories matter and will come into play. I have ran and completed 2 multiyear campaigns, and am currently in the middle of my first 1-20 run with the 5.5 rules (which I enjoy...). I enjoy creating mysteries that need solving, political intrigue plotlines, and hard hitting but fair combat that will test your knowledge of the mechanics. My NPC's are rooted in the reality of the world and often times ridiculous. My mentality is that we create the story we want to tell together.

I prep by
having each session build upon the last, with short, medium, and long term goals/plotlines all progressing as the story does. Each character's backstories are always at the forefront of my mind.
Rules are...
a framework to follow & keeps the world rooted, but rules are officially up to the DM's interpretation and fun always trumps limitations of a specific system.
When it comes to voices
totally optional for players, do whatever feels comfortable. I am more than ready to make a fool of myself with some of my voices.
Rob's ideal table
The ideal table would be 3-6 players ready with characters who have some backstory/motivation moving them forward that I would incorporate into the overarching story being told. I like players to RP in lull moments/have genuine interest in getting to know each other's characters. Combat is firm but fair, with some battle meant to test you in more ways than one, so be ready for that. There will be multiple plots going on, so make sure to keep notes if you want the full experience. Simply put, DnD is something that you get out of it what you put into it; meaning the more you engage the better the story we can create together.
