About me
Meet Rich, a budding Dungeon Master with an unwavering passion for storytelling within the realm of tabletop role-playing games. Though relatively new to the world of dungeon mastering, Rich brings an infectious enthusiasm and a player-centric approach to every adventure they craft. A lifelong fan of fantasy and adventure, Rich stumbled into the world of tabletop RPGs and discovered a newfound love for crafting immersive and dynamic game worlds. What sets Rich apart is their dedication to putting player choices at the heart of the narrative. Every campaign, every session, is a unique and collaborative journey shaped by the decisions and imaginations of the players. In Rich's campaigns, the players aren't just participants; they're co-authors of the story. Rich revels in the unpredictability of tabletop gaming, and their games are a testament to the beauty of emergent storytelling. Whether it's the rogue's cunning escape plan, the bard's heartfelt diplomacy, or the barbarian's bold charge into the unknown, Rich is committed to creating a space where every character's choices matter.
GM Style
Encounter design is what originally got me into TTRPG's and it still gives me the passion to run games. I love watching my players come up with unique and extraordinary ways to handle whatever situation is thrown at them. Who wants to stand still and wack at a goblin? Cast a spell while running away on a flat plain as they're being walked down by the big bad guy? You have creative solutions to unique problems and I love to bring that out.

As a complete newbie to the DnD world I was hesitant to play a game in which I had to not only pay for, but learn the basics from the beginning alongside those who have more experience than me as well. Luckily for me, Rich has made my first DnD experience inviting and exciting which keeps me coming back for more. I am grateful Rich took the time to explain little, yet important details to me including a complete overview of the character sheet, character building options, spells, backstories, and more. From the very first session, Rich welcomed my fellow adventurers and I into a vibrant fantasy world complete with intricate storytelling and vivid descriptions. I've not only been captivated by the unique world and characters we meet, but with each session I'm gained confidence in myself by diving into the details of my own character and interacting with the other players. Rich encourages everyone's imagination and creativity to soar, but does not push anyone past their comfort zones. I highly recommend Rich as a DM to both newbies and professionals alike.

Rich is a really great GM. He does well at including everyone in the game, and is very helpful with the rules. Every session is an adventure as he is always striving to improve from the last. His skills in foundry and story telling really help make the world come alive. I would recommend any player looking for a group to have Rich as your DM.

He really knows how to try to get everyone involved and makes it a really cool experience. Each time we play he has made things more interesting and uped the visual effects of each session. All in all it has been a great experience and would always recommend him as a GM.

This was my first game with Rich and he made sure the game was fun for all players. He is fantastic at setting the mood and theme for our D&D game, creating an immersive world that captures our imagination. His storytelling skills are excellent, and he strikes a great balance between allowing player freedom and keeping the game on track. Overall, the game is incredibly enjoyable thanks to their guidance and facilitation. He also let me rescue and keep a zombie I found. Overall he gets a 10/10 from me

This DM was fantastic. I'm relatively new but he made learning the game simple and fun. He was always ready to adapt to anything that would unfold throughout the story and tried to let players be as creative as possible within reason. Highly recommend!

Rich runs great games. He is always prepared, and great at adapting for whatever creativity our party comes up with. The games are engaging and very beginner friendly. Rich guides you in the story and let's your imagination soar.
