About D B

Hi, I'm Dale. I have been DMing D&D for 6 years and have loved every minute of gaming I have had. Last year I decided to take a break from DMing (and took some time to play instead!), but I'm back now with more ideas than ever! I run D&D 2014 and 2024, and I'm looking at doing some Discworld, too, in the near future. I would definitely consider my style of DMing to be reactive to the story and rule of cool over the written rule. I have a special interest in the Napoleonic wars, and quite a lot of my oneshots have their roots in it, I look forward to making some memories with you all

How D B runs games

I love for my player to help shape the world, and I encourage shenanigans, Rule of Cool over how it's written. I love to craft new worlds for my players to explore, or more often than not, explode! I try to keep an even balance of combat and roleplay in my games, but I'm happy to bend to what the players want. I don't fudge my rolls and will roll in the open quite often

I once ran a session...

where the paladin came over to the DM's side and killed the other PC's

I prep by

making sure i have everything i need, no doubt i still forget something

Rules are...

a guide to follow, not to be taken literally every time

D B's ideal table

I like Dming for a group of friends who want to have fun and come up with crazy plans and ways to overcome what i throw at them

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

picks up on hints and goes beyond what i was thinking

I think metagaming...

is fine in moderation

My perfect party mix is

a group that get on, dont take things seriously and think outside the box
