About me
It was the beginning of Christmas Break of 1st grade in 1981 when my best friend's dad handed him an early present and said "You boys may enjoy this over the holiday go ahead and open it." Behold it was the Red Box (basic d&d ruleset) ! We spent that break reading and struggling our way to learning the rules, and I have never looked back. I love D&D and have ran games for 43 years now across editions and a myriad of other game systems. I love roleplay and immersing players into the game. My table has always welcomed anyone who has shown interest, and I am Happy to see the increasing diversity and inclusion in my beloved hobby. I do not tolerate real world discrimination and hope all players will feel welcome and at home. If you are new to the hobby I consider it an honor to introduce you to your new favorite hobby.
GM Style
I enjoy roleplay, I do voices and try my best to build an immersive game. I enjoy letting the characters drive the action and integrate their motivations into the game. Introducing new players to the game is always exciting. https://startplaying.games/gm/rollingwolf

Very clear in his explanations and patient in his responses to questions regarding rules clarification. John was very knowledgeable about the rules of Daggerheart and how to utilize the functions available to players on the character sheet. He has a very clear vision of the narrative and can improvise on the fly as the GM with ease. I had a great time and am looking forward to gaming with him in the future.
John is the absolute best at constructing the world around you. I have never been more immersed in a moment during DnD than I was when John described how my Paladin walked into a holy place for the first time. With the help of the soundscape he built and the picture he painted with his words I felt like I could really feel the change in the air as I walked down the steps, like I could feel the spiritual energy of the place I was walking into. That moment has hung with me and I aspire to have as impactful of a moment DMing my own games as that one. He knows how to make big moments big, serious moments serious, but he is also so very accepting and supportive of our team's more goofier moments. In our game he created the absolute perfect balance between the serious and the silly and I hope to be in another one of his adventures in the future.
Rollinwolf is great! He sets up worlds really well and has great NPC characters. He was also super accommodating for my VERY chaotic character that I'm sure accidentally messed up his carefully laid plans on more than one occasion. He also likes to reward player creativity! Super knowledgeable and I highly recommend!
