About Rowan Erwin

Hi I'm Rowan, better known online as Rollo. I have 10+ years of tabletop games and roleplaying experience. I run my games using a mix of homebrew and base 5e system. I specialize on narrative story telling and roleplay. I am open to new and veteran players alike. I run my games using Discord and DND Beyond with a mix of tools to help immerse my players. I have an open world mindset when running a campaign but would like to stick to a story that I help create with my players wants and backstories combined.

Meeting in the middle, I use a mixture of different rulesets and I run what I think is fair. Ultimately it is up to me, but I'll do anything for a scooby snack

Complex interweaving stories with a hint of romance, mystery and a heapingful of roleplay

Rowan Erwin's ideal table

My table is the home of friends, are main goal is to (blow up and act like I don't know nobody) to have a fun time playing as silly little made up characters that blow up into shiny shimmering reflections of ourselves that we wait all week to play.

Featured Prompts

I think it's a red flag when players...

miss multiple session(s) in a row with no communication, create problems at the table, refuse to interact with the story

I think metagaming...

cheating, everything is in character. Death saving throws and most things are secret. Your friend is dying, save them not look at their dice rolls. BUT, it is sometimes necessary so therefore use of the Group Freebie would be pertinent

My perfect party mix is

A little bit of everything, players feel like they're helping the party and feel sad when a party member isn't there. I've done a game with one of every class (seriously) and I've done a campaign with 4 bards and 2 clerics (even more wild than the previous one)
