DUNGEON MASTER: RUSSELL KIRKBY
RKDM
EPIC. CINEMATIC. NARRATIVE. ROLEPLAY
With a background in stage, film and TV, both in front and behind the camera--Russell’s interests centre on the power of roleplaying games to create unique, shared experiences--that exceed the expectations of his players.
With thirty-five years of experience running tabletop roleplaying games, Russell's philosophy as a DM is to create "the illusion of total agency" for his players. He is equally at home running team-building exercises as he is teaching professional screen-acting, kicking in doors or slaying ogres.
If you are looking for a story-focused, character-based roleplaying game (one-shots, campaigns, mini-campaigns) Russell will bring his considerable storytelling techniques and abilities to bear, delivering you an adventure which you will remember.
Presently, Russell also offers a free video service to those who wish to rewatch their sessions and also keep a permanent record online. (Either public or private facing depending on the group’s preferences). Examples of these sessions can be found on Russell’s youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/rkdm1 under Playlists.
You can also watch and interact with Russell and the Vaingate Chronicles cast, live on Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/rolestream (Check Our Schedule on-site).
