About me

Greetings! I welcome you to a guided tour of the imagination. Perhaps you may escape intact... My name is Danny, an American in his thirties. I have over a decade experience running TTRPGs with a focus in teaching new/inexperienced players how to play RPG systems and Virtual Tabletops (VTTs). My chosen RPGs would be (in order of skill): 1. Savage Worlds Adventure Edition 2. 5e (Tales of the Valiant, Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition, Stargate SG-1, etc.) 3. Call of Cthulhu 7e 4. Fantasy AGE 5. Index Card RPG

GM Style

My GM style would focus heavily on Roleplaying, Story, and impactful Combat. Horror and high-fantasy are my primary campaign and one-shot genres. While I believe in PC death as a real possibility, I do not kill PCs indiscriminately even in horror games (hey, even Lovecraft let his characters faint and awaken later unharmed... physically, that is). I prefer Theater-of-the-Mind but use tactical maps for more complex battles. The battles I run tend to be Fast, Furious, and Fun (nod to Savage Worlds). My main method of roleplay is online through Discord voice-chat and Fantasy Grounds (both of which players can join for free). Roll20 is also available as VTT that I have experience with. I love to teach RPGs to new and inexperienced players and have extensive experience doing so. If you or your group wish to inquire about a particular RPG system with which I am experienced, feel free to message me to schedule a learning session for you. Styles: Character Roleplay - 5/5 Combat - 4/5 Puzzles - 2/5 Exploration - 3/5 Lore - 4/5 Description - 4/5

Danny took it upon himself to teach my wife and I how to play Pathfinder Savage Worlds. He was patient and kind as we stumbled our way through learning the system and the use of Fantasy Grounds. Danny was very polite in his attempts to keep the game moving. He had a clear understanding of the rules and was able to explain them well. As the campaign progressed, he continued to bring out all these different character voices, quite impressive. If you ever get the chance, I'd definitely recommend Danny as a GM.

Danny DM taught the rules in an intuitive way. The entire group picked up Savage Worlds instantly. I recommend him for beginners or people looking to learn Savage Worlds.
