About Rook || RJKGames

I’m Rook - I’m a writer, performer and Maths teacher from the UK! My favourite thing about TTRPGs is the sheer creativity. There are no restrictions on us - we sing the worlds we want brick by brick and hope the dice see fit to supply the mortar. Sometimes, the walls fall down spectacularly and sometimes, your player summons a pack of meth coyotes (a real thing apparently!) because they got way too many successes and also it was funny. I started with D&D and Monster of the Week and then fell face-first into the indie scene, performing in many actual plays as both player and GM. I love to emphasise player choice and creativity, craft interesting stories and introduce a table to a game they’ve never seen before. Join me. Let’s tell a story together.

My favorite books are

fantasy and sci-fi! My favourite series of all time is the Wayfarer series by Becky Chambers - gorgeous world building and deep, rich characters.

How Rook || RJKGames runs games

I’m here to tell a story! I love when players get invested in their characters and I love giving them characters to fall in love with and a world to explore and create together. I am very relaxed when it comes to rules - for me they’re more of a guideline than a limit. There are always gonna be times when anyone at the table (you or me) wants to do something cool that’s not exactly allowed, which is fine so long as it serves the story! Expect lore, player choice and agency, and a brilliant spotlight to allow you to shine in your greatest moments.

Rook || RJKGames's ideal table

My ideal table would be full of players who are fully opted-in. I want everyone to be leaning into the vibe, to be making choices that compliment what is happening and not be afraid to try something out. You don't have to be an experienced player to do this! Just know that you have a say in what is happening at the table - you're allowed to make big, story-defining choices.
