Game style
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
🌀 Joining the adventure late? No problem! If you enter the party mid-campaign, you have the option of a 1-on-1 one-shot session to seamlessly integrate your character into the overarching plot. This session will help establish your character’s backstory, motivations, and connections, ensuring a smooth and immersive transition into the main story. Let me know if you'd like to set one up!

Davogn is a wonderful DM. I am currently in a campaign he hosts. I have a great time every session. He is quick, resourceful, and creative. He made me feel welcome and comfortable at his table right from the start. I would definitely recommend playing in the adventures he hosts!

Davogn is a brilliant DM who puts a lot of effort into the game as well as working with the players and their characters. He's just as fun as he is professional and cares a lot for the table's enjoyment. When it comes to rules and general in-game knowledge, he's reliable and patient. The maps are high quality, the immersive music hooks you right in and the setting is rich with flavour and lore.

Davogn is an awesome DM and as good as he is a DM he is a person. The sessions I played with him were really cool and talking with him also is a pleasure. Playing with him is the right decision, sadly I had to quit due to a array of personal stuff going on. Give him a try!
