About me

Hi! My name’s Dave Knight. (I’m pretty terrible at talking myself up please bare with me.) So I’ve been trying for the longest time to come up with a really articulate way to describe essentially that I love telling stories and I love making sure you’re going to have a good time. I’ve been trying real hard. One little problem: I run games already five days a week and I never get time to sit and think on it. And that’s been going on since before I found this place. I’ve been a dm since 2005 in everything from exalted to d&d 5e to deadlands to dark heresy to Star Wars to SEVERAL Cthulhu games to fate and back. I love telling stories and I love seeing people have a good time sharing them. Since the pandemic I’ve been working overtime running games and a good chunk of my players said I need to join this. I’m not gonna waste your time; at the end of the day we’re all doing this stuff to have a good time amongst friends. That’s what I promise you. Whatever game we play together that’s my deal. If you aren’t having fun I don’t want to take your money or waste your time. What ya say?

GM Style

I’m a pretty flexible gm, but I do tend to shy away from really technical heavy games. I tend to gloss over spell components and I’m a big proponent for the rule of cool. I tend to reward cleverness, friendship among players and generally whatever entertains us all.

I always have so much fun and learn a lot at Dave’s table! All the players in our game are new to the Masque of the Red Death, and Dave was so patient in explaining everything to us. He listens and takes in all of our concerns to make sure that there aren't lines that are being crossed. Dave is so knowledgeable, creative, and has a great sense of humor. I can’t wait for our next session!

Game Knight was super fixable and tries to work with every aspect of the game. This does also count on non ingame stuff. I had fun and really liked the energy he puts forward.
