About DM Darren
Hello, adventurers. I'm Darren and I’ve been DMing D&D 5e for around 7 years. I started playing AD&D many years ago. After an extended break following university, I returned to D&D in 2017 as a player, and then began to DM in February 2018 for a group of friends. Since that point, I’ve overseen more than 150 sessions and counting. I'm particularly happy to facilitate sessions for beginners and inexperienced players. My overall aim is to make each and every session enjoyable for my players. Thanks for reading and I look forward to guiding you through some exciting, dangerous, and, hopefully, rewarding adventures!

How DM Darren runs games
I like to run games that are a healthy mix of combat and RP, though games can be weighted more toward one or the other, depending on the preferences of the group. I usually base my campaigns on pre-published materials, though with a healthy dose of homebrew thrown in, and tying in my players' backstories, presuming that that's what is wanted by the player - if you just want to hit things, that's fine too! :) I don’t place any restrictions on official content for my players, and I’m very happy to accommodate homebrew character classes etc., presuming they are sufficiently balanced, of course! Whilst I don't have any theatrical experience or training, I really enjoy using distinct voices for many of my NPCs.
