About me

Hey, I'm Dan, you might know me from The Danger Club Podcast...or you might not. Let's play games! I love that games allow you to be whoever you want to be and enjoy the game in your own way. I'm a writer and actor so I love to build stories with players and fill a world with memorable NPCs to meet, love and generally confuse. Whether you're a complete newbie or you've been playing for years; a full immersive role-player or someone who prefers more tactical play; come join me and let's tell some stories and have a laugh together!

Dan is an absolutely fantastic GM, and is the kind of guy that seems like he can vibe with anyone. You have a crazy whacky character idea? He's in love. Come across some little blue evil dudes? He's got a hilarious voice ready. Want to do something that's not quite in the rules but cool? Make a roll. He's incredibly flexible, and very fun to play with. He brings a certain level of madness that is required by any GM, and has been someone great to learn little tips and tricks as an upcoming GM myself. Couldn't recommend higher.

If I could, I would pick most of the traits-to-be-selected for Dan. He has a lot of experience, which shines in his understanding of the characters and the concepts that develop through the sessions. Super friendly and understanding.

Dan was so helpful to me, a brand-new player. I cannot recommend him more highly. Can't wait to play again.

I really enjoyed playing here. Could talk about expectations, had everything I asked for and never felt pressured. Game was good, professional, lots of effort by Dangeon Master :) Also wanna note that it's not easy to find GMs capable of improvisation (vs railroading) today. Would play again.

Dan is a friendly, funny and patient GM who really is keen on everyone having an awesome adventure. Recommend 10/10 for new players, interested advanced players and surely experienced players as well!

Character creation
Creating your character

Characters begin play at level 14. I'm happy for players to create characters using whatever method you like, I'll make sure characters are ported into Foundry. All characters will begin as members or allies of the infamous Red Mantis Assassins guild! I will be available to help with character gen in the run up to the first game and you will have access to the game Discord server right away so you can plan with fellow players. I run Free Archetype and I'm open to adding additional variant rules if everybody agrees.

What to expect
Preparing for the session

All I ask is that you have a mic and a discord account to chat to everyone. You don't need a local copy of foundry or any rulebooks, but you may find you get more out of the game if you have a look through some of the rules for your class on Archives of Nethys (a free Pathfinder rules resource). Pathbuilder2e may help you with planning your character but isn't essential. I'm not expecting top level roleplaying from everyone either. If you want to do voices then great, but if that's not your bag then you're just as welcome.

What Dangeon Master brings to the table

We'll be playing using the premium Foundry VTT module with a selection of mods to enhance the experience. That means that you'll have access to a full rules compendium with simple drag and drop features for adding things to your character sheet. You can also expect lighting and SFX to help fully immerse you in the world. I've been hosting a Pathfinder show for over seven years and have produced over 300 episodes of actual play adventures, so you can expect a lot of voices and characterisation for any NPCs you meet.

Homebrew rules

We use the free archetype rule.

How Dangeon Master creates a safe table

Games should be for everyone and making you feel safe is at the top my my list. We'll have a session zero where everyone can express what they want from the adventure and I'm more than happy to alter any content that people are uncomfortable with.
