About Davey
Hello! I'm a professional and award-winning storyteller/actor/writer/GM/theatre maker, and a recent cast member of The Twenty-Sided Tavern (the official D&D stage show) at the Sydney Opera House! I've been running games for beginner and experienced players for a decade. I also run the theatre company Ponydog Productions, an award-winning theatre company that makes interactive storytelling shows, and Bards For Hire where I write studio-quality theme songs for RPG characters, campaigns, and parties (currently on hiatus but available wherever you get music.) I am a classically trained actor and studied at the Royal Central School for Speech & Drama (alma mater of Judi Dench, Carrie Fisher, Martin Freeman, a 7th of the Doctors from Doctor Who, and a 3rd of the recent live-action Spider-Men, among many others). I am currently finishing up a Master's Of Creative Writing. My campaigns are role-play, character, and story-focused, and I love creating new and bespoke worlds based on the ideas and stories my players want to explore!

People are always surprised when I tell them
That sharks have been around since before Saturn had rings. Also, canonically Scooby-Doo can speak according to one of the comics because he is descended from a Cthulhu-like Eldritch being. I don't know if these are helping in terms of picking me as a GM, but I hope you enjoyed 😂
When I'm not running games I'm...
Making and running LARPs and immersive theatre, and nerding out about almost everything.
How Davey runs games
> Role-play/character/story focussed games > Professional actor/writer/theatremaker skills > A big fan of slashes/bullet points when making lists I have a particular love for role-play and three-dimensional characters, detailed world-building, fun and silly improv, chaotic battles, and shaping my stories and campaign to my players and their characters! I run everything from silly romping one-shots to hard-hitting and emotional epics. And I'm always a fan of a great rule of cool moment!
Davey's ideal table
Welcoming, imaginative, and very playful, lots of 'yes, and's, laughs, and voices, even in sessions with high drama and emotional damage.
