About me
Fun loving, Shenanigan instigating and story telling. I have been playing and DMing D&D for 5 years. I specialize in 5e with beginners and teaching the mechanics of the game. My truest love in ttrpg is story telling and character development, friendship and the growing confidences of players as they navigate new worlds and adventures. My tables are a safe place for New players, Players with role play anxiety that maybe want an easy environment to get better at it or even not be judged for not wanting to do it, LGBT+. It is my goal to make this a game that anyone can play and go on the amazing adventures that dnd brings you on.
GM Style
Firstly i want it to be know that i love new players, having a first time player at my table is such a great feeling as i have a teaching heart and love taking players from maybe a bit shy and not wanting to talk, maybe unfamiliar with rules or how a class works at first, to full character voice and feeling confidant in their knowledge of the game. Roleplay- Role play i one of my favorite things about dnd. Giving characters personalities, motives and a reason. Its also something i know intimidates a lot of new players. As a DM i love to encourage players to roleplay without making it mandatory. Letting them ease into a character and grow as a player. Combat- I love a good combat experience that is challenging without being over the top. however i can admit that i am a Cinnamon Roll and i do not like killing characters as my favorite thing about ttrpg's is story telling and developing characters which can be hard to do when characters drop every couple of sessions. That does not mean i dont kill characters but i will usually go threw every effort to help (Within the stories boundaries- NPC helping, Warlock patron striking a deal, Ext.) 3D Maps- I use Talespire, for fully 3D Maps and importing of Heroforge mini's. All you will need is to get the free version (I have paid for seats already) And jump in!! Currently Campaign List -The Wild Beyond the Witchlight -Waterdeep Dragon Heist -Lost mines of Phandelver (Shattered Obelisk) -Out of the Abyss -Dragon of Icespire Peak -Tyranny of Dragons (Dragon Queens Hoard & Rise of Tiamat) -Curse of Strahd Games i will run but will need a week or 2 to get maps together -Princes of the Apocalypse Mini adventures I run one-shots every so often. I have Keys from the Golden Vault, Tales from the Yawning Portal and Candle Keep Mysteries. That if you are looking for a 2-4 session campaign we can take adventures and do them as mini adventures or episodic Campaign.

Bobby is great! Really good at guiding new players and making it fun for experienced players as well. Sessions are always fun and he’s a big proponent of the “rule of cool” and is down to make items or tweak the campaign story to make sense with the characters and keep everyone invested. Highly recommended!
Bobby is patient for newcomers to DnD or the particular campaign in general. I joined late and immediately I felt included or a significant part of the team and world. He was also willing to meet before the campaign started to help flesh out the character I had in mind. Bobby, additionally, ran a one shot due to not all the players being able to make it and instead of charging full price, he so kindly let us still play but for half the price!!!! Super willing for improv
Love the campaign I'm in with Bobby right now, he has amazing roleplay aspects built in with plenty of strategy and combat balanced in. He does a great job at incorporating new characters in if you start mid campaign. I enjoy his voices and personalities he uses for his NPC's also. Overall he creates a very fun and welcoming environment to the game.
