About me
Hello everyone! I'm an Italian DM with years of experience. I really love creating stories and I've learned a lot during my career as a narrator. I find writing boring and lonely, so I decided to become the best DM I can be. I'm multilingual, and I can run games perfectly in both English and Italian. I know Spanish as well if you want to give it a go, but I have never played in that language yet, it could be fun to try. I do live in Italy, but I have a flexible schedule, so the time difference shouldn't be a problem. I can schedule around having a game to run at 4am(GMT+1) no problem. For online play, my top pic is Roll20, simply because it's free and I've been using it for years so I'm quite skilled with it. I have become quite experienced with its premium features, so we can enjoy Dynamic Lighting and other juicy features. I prefer to use Discord to handle the calls, both video and just audio, according to the party's preferences. If you decide to pay for my games, I can promise the utmost professionalism in my performance. Since you're buying my time and skill, I'll be sure to bring my A game every session. Per my policy, Session 0 is a consultation, and as such it's always free. It's important that you get to know me and your future party members before potentially wasting money and not have a good time. My top priority when running games is to make sure my players are having fun. That means different things for different groups, but as I said, I'm quite adaptable. If you have fun, I have fun too. Come with, there's Dragons to slay!
GM Style
My games are narrative-driven more than rule-crunchy, and I have experience in various systems, even a couple that I'm sure you've never heard of. I am open to a plethora of themes we could explore together, and I'm very adaptable to the DMing styles required by different groups. I will gladly play with newbies to the hobby, as well as child-friendly games. The opposite is also true, I'm available to DM hardcore veteran groups in complex and heavy campaigns (as well as 21+ rated games). I'm kind of a History and Language enthusiast (I'm majoring in translation), and I tend to incorporate concepts from my studies into my games. I tend to not bring current, real-life politics into my games in order to avoid stress and drama. In my homebrew setting, all societal and political situations are a result of cause and effect in a world that has been expanded and built upon for the last 7 years. However, if the whole groups agrees, we can interject whatever real-life topic is desired.

Storytelling
Robb is a great GM! We have been playing consistently for around 6 months and the story has been getting better and better. We are playing in a homebrew world that be created that is so interesting. He allowed us to pick from a variety of options within the world for location and theme of the story, and the one we picked has been really cool. This is my first time playing DND at all and it is way cooler than I had even expected. Robb keeps the table moving throughout the session but allows for us to talk and have creative decision making. I would recommend Robb to any DND player, whether new like me or experienced! His world is really cool and interesting.
Robb is an incredible storyteller and world builder! He has a wide selection of homebrew campaigns he runs (of which, having played one, are meticulously thought out), as well as some of 5es greatest hits like Curse of Strahd. Robb also does a fantastic job of making all pleasures feel welcome and like they’re contributing. Our game has players with range of experiences - from never having played before to playing only other editions or playing some amount of 5e - and Robb has shepherded everyone through to the point of all of us feeling comfortable playing and tackling anything head on. For anyone looking to dip their toes into 5e, Robb is 100% your guy.
Robb has been able to take us on a journey every Wednesday night, weaving a story that is engaging, well-balanced between combat and puzzles, and creative. He is extremely knowledgeable on D&D rules and lore, and helps in character creation and mechanics, as well as keeping things light and fun with jokes and voices throughout. Highly recommend for players of any level!
