About River

Hello there! Welcome in, take a seat and all that. My name is River, I am an actor and producer and have played and run D&D and other TTRPGs for 10 years! I was introduced to TTRPGs watching my older siblings play with these stories (with probably a bit too much adult content for little-me), and begging my mum (yes, I'm British) to let me stay up past my bedtime. Eventually, I joined in and was completely lost in what to do or say or act but I was fascinated and didn't care to be wrong and was totally hooked by this fantasy world that even today I swear I have memories of seeing that world more than sitting around a table. Fast forward to my teenage self and I found a few friends who wanted to play and I decided that despite never playing 5th edition I'd be perfectly capable of running it. It was messy and wonderful and I took great pleasure introducing this mad game to anyone and everyone I knew and suddenly this game I thought only I had heard of was everywhere and more popular than ever. My focus is running inclusive, immersive, roleplay-focused games. D&D is a collaborative, beautiful and often utterly ridiculous game. It has brought me a lot of good memories and friendships over my life and whether you are a veteran player or completely new to the game I hope we can create a fun, engaging story together. I tend to prefer playing a 'sandbox' style game following the story that is specific to the character YOU make and the story YOU want to tell.

I started running games because...

No one else was going to do it and I wanted to play. Now I like running the game more than playing.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Dread, I'm sure I could use those jenga blocks in many helpful ways 10 Candles, so I could start a fire and contemplate my inevitable death and Oh, Dang! Bigfoot stole my car with my friends birthday present inside in the hopes that bigfoot would show up somehow and help me out.

My favorite books are

Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Cinematic, evocative and neatly bound with logic Also Terry Pratchett's Discworld For chaotic shenanigans that make you see the world a different way.

How River runs games

When GMing, I like to create an immersive, totally new world to get lost in for a couple of hours. I think of myself as more of a 'taxi-driver' than 'novelist'. Meaning, I like to follow where the table wants to go and the stories they are interested in and I view my job is to fill this world with interesting characters and story hooks for you to interact with. I want to craft roleplay-focused games centred around your characters and their story. If that all sounds like something you'd be interested in, I hope you consider signing up to one of my games.
