About David
Hi, I’m David, a Game Master from Cologne, Germany, with over 30 years of TTRPG experience. My journey began in 1995, at age 9 with classics like Earthdawn, Shadowrun, and Vampire: The Masquerade. Over the decades, I’ve explored nearly every major system, including all editions of Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, and Cyberpunk, before finding my home in Pathfinder 2nd Edition in 2019. Since 2020, I’ve been running games via Foundry VTT, hosting everything from open-world Westmarches style worlds to deep, character-driven long-term campaigns. My style thrives on rules-heavy tactical combat paired with light-hearted, character-focused roleplay. I enjoy creating dynamic battlefields and engaging narratives where player choices matter, though I typically focus less on heavy political intrigue or complex puzzle solving. Whether you’re looking for a structured campaign or a flexible episodic adventure, I bring decades of storytelling passion and mechanical expertise to the table. Let’s create something memorable together.

I got started GMing...
...at age 11, when i tried running a game for my brother and his friends (who were 7 years older) who had kindly brought me into the hobby. This first attempt at GMing ended in the Party rolling out a Cannon from their airship to threaten the Dragon who they had successfully tied to the ground. :)
How David runs games
I run my table looking for a good mix of tactical combat and light-hearted roleplay. Expect dynamic battles where strategy matters, clear rules (RAW, RAI), and a welcoming vibe. Heavy politics or complex puzzles are not my wheelhouse, but Details & Preferences can obviously be discussed in Session 0!

I deal with rules issues by...
Making a call in the moment, and then researching and clarifying after the session for future reference.
David's ideal table
I am your perfect Game Master if you like: * Theory-crafting your character and talking rules * Play-by-Post RPing between Sessions (optional) * Engaging in small RPG Moments between Exploration, Combat and other Encounters * Playing tactical Combat encounters, in which enemies act according to their nature

I love it when a player
Thinks outside of the Box! "Yes, and..."-ing is just so much fun. I love collaborating on a shared story and being able to facilitate this for my Players is a great joy!
