About me
For over thirty years I've enjoyed exploring new systems at the table. While I've played every edition of D&D since 2nd, I have spent most of my time using other systems. I love systems like West End's D6 and Savage Worlds because they allow for dynamic action and don't rely on characters filling specific classes or narrow roles. While I am from the American Midwest, I have lived in Scotland since 2017. I enjoy widening my perspective through travel and new experiences.
GM Style
When running a campaign I enjoy reactive simulation sandboxes. The players actions should send ripples through any planned plot. Settings should be richly detailed and feel lived in. Planned modules are a great framework, but every group should experience it in their own way. If you want to spend time between sessions excitedly planning to run an in-game business, impressing a local leader or hoping for your characters to form their own secret society then I would be an excellent choice for your GM.

Teacher
Dan ran a solid and fun game. There were people new to the system and he did well helping them along. He was communicative and helpful before the session. As with anyone, I can't tell you who's going to be your kind of people, but he seemed like a solid guy to me. While our game was a one shot at the time, think he would be a good GM long term. After the session we chatted a bit and it felt like he was actively listening and taking in what we said which bodes well for folks who might play with him more long term.
