About Eric (RockNRole)

15k+ Hours GMed | 7 Year Pro | Narrative-Focused Beyond all the above, what you're getting with me as a DM is a friendly, relaxed experience. In interpreting rules and making judgment calls, I aim for consistency and tend to err on the side of the player if there's no clear-cut answer at hand. While the PC adventurers may delve into all manner of dark, dangerous places, I try to build a welcoming environment for all players, which includes prioritizing player safety and ongoing communication. We play games to have fun, and that's only possible if players' needs are met. If all of the above sounds like the sort of thing you're looking for, don't hesitate to reach out and schedule your next adventure today. I look forward to hearing from you!

How Eric (RockNRole) runs games

Greetings, Adventurers! My name is Eric, and I’m a professional Dungeon Master specializing in D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e. From bleak Barovian barrows to the lush jungles of Chult, it has been my immense privilege to serve as a storyteller for countless adventures over the years. The freedom and stability that my clients afford me has allowed me to hone my craft to a level I couldn’t have imagined at the outset, and I’d like to pass on some of those benefits to other storytellers. In light of that, I’ve expanded my services into the realm of DM development. Whether you’re here to find a gaming group, book me for your existing party, or to expand your own DM toolkit, I look forward to working with you and facilitating your next great adventure!

My games focus on...

Narrative first, whether it's the one presented in a prewritten module or the stories that emerge from characters bumping into challenges along the way.

Eric (RockNRole)'s ideal table

My ideal table is a haven for avid role players who can find the humor in any situation without derailing a game in the process. The vibe is pretty relaxed OOC, but there's always room for compelling character drama in game once we build mutual trust. Not to be too camp about it, but I think my games are special because they really do turn into games with friends over time. Some of the most iconic sessions I've ever hosted have featured full-on shouting matches between PCs right up until session's end, at which point it was all love and hype between the players. The conventional wisdom in this hobby is to not expect sessions that play like podcast episodes, but I think the community I've built over the years has set the standard pretty high and had a great time doing it.

I am for a vibe that's...

basically a game with old friends, but with just enough added accountability to make sure things keep running smoothly.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

Narrative-driven games that still have stakes

I think min/maxing...

has its place, but should never be the standard by which one judges another person's character or gameplay.
