About me

Hi everyone. I've been a DM for about 15 years now. I've run everything from fully built home-brew worlds, official modules, silly one shots, and everything in-between. I started professionally DM'ing during the pandemic and have created a wonderful, inclusive, vibrant community that focuses on story-telling and roleplaying. I would love to run you/your party through any kind of adventure that you/your group is looking for. Something heroic, spooky, funny, mysterious, and everything in-between. Please message me, and let's set something up. This is my passion, and I would love to share it with you.

GM Style

My number one rule is to make sure every player at the table is having fun. I make sure every game is a fun and safe space for people to roleplay. Inclusivity is important to me, and I want my games to be spaces to feel like they can be their character, and explore their character's journey. I love making combat cinematic, I feel the best combat encounters are a blend of roleplay and mechanics. I enjoy player contributions and have big ideas for my games, nothing makes me happier. The homebrew world I have built is continually changing and growing due to the amazing voice of my players. I want to make sure your character is a vibrant piece of the world. I hope you will come and enjoy the story.

Still love this game after so many sessions, just thought id give another go. Rob is very patient and engaging with his players. If you hear the words "I'm using my Gem Dice" Just be ready to get hurt! Keep up the good work Rob!

Rob has been a fantastic dm for me over the past 6 or so months. There is nobody I would rather have run games and hang out with afterwards than rob. Okay, maybe one other person but that's it. Or two. Or three. Never mind, Rob is great, and that's the point. He makes great encounters and stories, games are neither too easy or too hard. He is very fair and reasonable on everything.

Rob is a fantastic dungeon master. He brings attention, care, and excitement to every session and I have learned much from him on being a good DM. Rob has gone from a DM to a friend, and it is due in large part to his positive attitude and understanding nature. 10/10 Would always recommend.

Robert is a great DM. He creates a great environment and is very helpful with creating characters with first time players and veterans alike, as well as creating an environment that is easy to imurse yourself into. Our group had an amazing time and cant wait to continue our adventure next week and beyond!

Rob ran a tremendously enjoyable session with a new group of players. Experience levels were all over the map, from players who had enjoyed the game since the 1980s to me, who was running my first-ever session. I could not have had a better time. Rob was extremely engaging, both in character as the DM and out of character as the nice guy helping a new party sort through the technical challenges of online tabletop gaming. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

This was my first time playing DnD and this GM made it so easy to play. He was great at leading me through the whole process. Robert was available and prompt when answering questions before the game. He also made the game really easy to play and it was super fun with all the sound effects. Highly recommend if he has availabity!
