About me
Greetings! My name is Allan and I have been playing D&D since 1978. The game is my passion. I have played nearly all revisions of the game from original AD&D to 5e, although I skipped 4e and started playing Pathfinder. I run pre-generated modules, but I prefer custom campaigns. Most of my experience has been of the traditional face-to-face weekly meeting variety, but I have been learning three different VTTs (Foundry, Roll20, and Fantasy Grounds) and participating in many online games to hone my skills. I write software and design electronics for a living. I think the VTT tech is great, but I am a strong believer in keeping it simple so it does not interfere with the story and player emersion.

Safety
How DM Allan creates a safe table
This is standard D&D. I do not subscribe to all the recent concerns suggesting that DMs walk on eggshells and tap dance around every issue that might trigger someone. If you liked Lord of the Rings, killing monsters, saving the day, being the heroes, and playing D&D as it was intended, this game will work for you.
