About me
The best compliment I ever got from a former co-worker was, "David, the thing I'll remember most about you is playing Pathfinder". Hi there, my name's David, and I didn't ask to be a game master, I just am one. My obsession with TTRPGs goes back farther than I can remember. Around 2013 I began game mastering in the Pathfinder Society. Since then, I have started groups with co-workers, friends, and family. This has given me experience as a GM for new and veteran players alike, across a wide range of ages.
GM Style
My ultimate goal in any game is for everyone to have fun. Of course this is different for everyone. I work with my players to make sure I can address what they want out of the game. Striving for the desire balance between combat, social situations, puzzles, and intrigue. The game system has a profound impact on this. Looking for something crunchy and tactically intense? Pathfinder is a great option Looking for group story telling where combat with the BBEG could be a social interaction? Fate's got you covered In addition to what the game play should feel like, I also work with players for the appropriate cadence to fit with people's busy schedule. Monster of the week style adventures provide a natural way for players to drop in and out week by week. While a group of players with more consistent schedules may enjoy the freedom of a sandbox campaign, or a classic style adventure that takes a year or more to complete.

Judiciator was very good about making sure that everyone understood the rules of the game, including explaining them at the beginning and as they occurred in the game. Quite friendly and helpful in the character creation process for those who made their own.
Rodolfo
Provided premade characters to reduce the stress of learning a new game and just focus on fun. Started the session with a very informative presentation on the rules and then kept the session going with suggestions any time the party didn't know what to do. He also kept the NPCs helpful but not taking the spotlight. I would strongly recommend if you are new to pathfinder and just want to dip your toes in.
Jeff
I played in one of Judicator's free sessions titled "Learn to Play Pathfinder 2nd Edition | No Experience Required! | All are Welcome." The adventure was a short level-1 introduction to PF2e and Pathfinder Society. Judicator was patient and helpful towards new players. Before we began playing, he gave a short presentation that introduced some of the basic concepts of PF2e. After the adventure, Judicator helped those who were interested to register their characters for PFS. I would recommend Judicator as a GM to players who are new to PF2e or TTRPGs in general.
Peony
So played a beginner one shot pathfinder and it was awesome. They helped explain the character rules simply, explained combat and everything as we went along. They made sure everyone was included. And explained any question we had during the games. Their characters throughout the game had great voices and personalities. It was a really fun game.
Izlasende
Very friendly and welcoming. He kept it fun and entertaining and still taught game mechanics. I had a blast and would definitely recommend this GM.
Mitch
Great teacher that helped us all get into the game. Clear and concise with explanations.
