About the adventure
My name is David Hulegaard from Role the Dice Professional Gamemastering Services. I have been running games for 47 years. I have a collection of over 240 different game systems, and have run most of them at one time or another. I have run games at conventions, corporate team building exercises, parties, weekend long events and more. I have made many mistakes along the way, and hopefully learned from most of them. Come and join me and we can share and learn together on how to be a successful game master. Whether you want to hone your skills for your private group, or want to improve your game in the world of the professional gamemaster, I can help you avoid some of the many pitfalls, and hopefully share some great tips and techniques that can make your game shine. I have put together a 4 two hour session plan to help improve your game, and/or be successful as a professional GM. Four years ago I setout here at StartPlaying to become a successful Pro GM. I invested time and money and within 2 months I was turning a profit. I work solely as a Pro GM now, and have made more than I did working for a bank, or in 30 years in IT. And you can be successful too. Let me share some of my experience, and allow me to learn from you as well.

About me
My name is Dave and I have been running games for over 47 years. All of my players have witnessed the level of dedication I bring to the table, and the time I take to prepare, and customize each experience for the individual players. I take the time to help each player develop their own story arcs, and customizations to make each character unique. I have also worked closely with other GM’s to develop our skills to help provide a fun and exciting experience for our players. I have a large collection of RPG’s totaling over 246 so far, not including digital titles, and these have given me a wide breadth of experience and techniques to pull from. Please see the testimonials from previous players for examples of their own experiences. For more on what I have to offer please visit my website at www.rolethedice.org
