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.
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.

This thrilling one-shot is crafted for 2nd-level characters, giving you the chance to step into the shoes of a slightly higher-level hero.

Played Hold Back The Dead one shot with Dan and a good group. Tried out Monk for the first time (cause sometimes you just want to punch a zombie to death) and Dan was super patient and helpful as I got up to speed on the class. Great times were had by all. 3 thumbs up!

Played two games with him. Both were lots of fun and educational. He is super helpful for learning the new system.

Absolutely one of the most fun DMs I've ever played with. He's excellent about connecting with players and making cool things happen. Playing with this DM is a great way to experience cool moments that you'll spend a lot of time thinking about!

Dan is an incredible dungeon master. His knowledge about the source material is deep and passionate. Dan is also a very patient man and a joy to sit at his table.
