About David

I have been playing TTRPGs since the early 1980s. I have been running TTRPGs for over 30 years. I regularly run games at conventions throughout the west coast and have an extensive collection with which to run games for my players. I am knowledgeable and provide a safe and welcoming environment for all players, all skill levels, and all ages! I welcome new players and challenge veteran players to reach out and try something that they may not have played before. I am passionate about growing the gaming community, and put in a lot of effort to ensure that my players have fun, are challenged, and find that inner GM within themselves through being a part of my games. I look forward to running for you. On my profile you can find all the games I run and have a thorough knowledge of. Thank you!

How David runs games

My GM style is fluid. I encourage players to immerse themselves into their characters as much as they possibly can. I develop non player characters and utilize voice techniques to give them a unique feel. I body cast all player characters as well as non player characters to give members of the group a point of reference. My adventures are story driven and involve thoughtful challenges in and out of combat. I employ theatre of the mind techniques to keep the players submerged in the environment while allowing the players to create and enjoy their own agendas within the greater theme of the campaign. I typically invest story into each and every one of the player character's backgrounds and history to provide a more rich environment. I can easily and quickly adjudicate on rules challenges to keep the game flow moving without breeding contention. My campaigns in the past have lasted years at a time. I
