About me
But really, hello, I am Daniel. I hide behind my cats and will frequently have them purring into the mic during session. Yes the kitten here is Sir Oliver. I have been playing TTRPG since my brother introduced me to AD&D in the mid-80's. It was hard finding people to play with in my small Wyoming town, so I started to host and DM my own games. I have been a DM for about 30 years in most versions of DnD. At my table, everyone is welcome — from first-time adventurers to seasoned players. The only requirements are respect, curiosity, and a willingness to engage with the story and your fellow players. My focus is always on genuine roleplay and collaborative storytelling, using combat only when it enhances the narrative.
