About me
Hello! My name is David (Evil Penguin). I've been playing D&D since 1985 with the original red box, i.e. I'm old. I went to college for creative writing. Then got a job in the film industry. So, I've pretty much built my whole life around the creative pursuits. Which makes me well suited for telling stories... my sessions that I have vary in type, but I try to mix elements of the big three: role-playing, exploration, and combat. Players will have an opportunity to at each of these at various times throughout a game. My general philosophy is that I, as a DM, have more fun when my players are having fun. Therefore, I try my best to give everyone at the table a chance to be the hero/anti-hero. Giving everyone a chance to shine... not just the OP fighter who min/maxed to be a killing machine... but also to the bard who just doesn't do that much in combat because their too busy talking their way out of most potentially hostile encounters. If you really want to get a sense of my GMing style, you can check out my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EvilPenguinRPG New players to experienced are welcomed. I believe in a diverse, LGBTQ+ friendly, and INCLUSIVE table. If you are a nazi, racist, homophobe, transphobe, or any other sort of bigot, please stay away from my table. I have a zero tolerance policy for that at my table. Any of that and you will be dropped immediately. If you have to ask whether this statement is about you, it is.

I played a 'Learn to Play' Daggerheart game with EvilPenguin. It was a lot of fun. He was very patient and was great at teaching the rules. I would play with him again.

Penguin offered a one-shot for three folks, only two of which showed up. He still ran the session which I greatly appreciated. He had to juggle both ends of the spectrum regarding player experience with the rules system. I was an utter noob. My fellow gamer knew her rules quite well. I had a great time. The encounters felt challenging yet balanced. The rules were explained well. The scene was described well. NPCs were well fleshed out. I'll be looking into the various campaign offerings from this DM.

Safety
How EvilPenguin creates a safe table
First and foremost, I want everyone to be able to have fun and you can't have fun if you don't feel safe. So, safety is a top priority. At any time players can message me publicly or privately to tell me that they don't feel comfortable with something. At that point, the game will pause why we get it sorted out. EVERYONE is welcome at my table and everyone will feel safe and comfortable so we can all have an amazing and fun time together.
