About Robert

I have loved fantasy and storytelling ever since I was young. I remember some of my earliest years playing both Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons. That love has only grown since then, fueling me to explore many related fields like writing a book and dming for the first time two years ago. Since then, I've expanded to dming three games simultaneously, now including one at my local game store. I love creating a world and weaving worldbuilding that both excites me and my players. My main focus is Dming Dungeons and Dragons 5e, but I do have some experience dming Call of Cthulhu as well.

How Robert runs games

I love crafting mysteries for the players to solve. I find starting from that premise leads naturally into the three core parts of TTRPG: exploration, combat, and roleplay. The two I lean most heavily on now are exploring fascinating places and engaging in tactical combat. That said, I always find that this tactic tends to allow for great moments of roleplay if the players so choose to do that.
