About Dave
Welcome, adventurers, to a world of high fantasy and action-packed adventure! I run my games like a grand, cinematic journey—filled with daring heroics, intense battles, and epic discoveries. Whether you’re unraveling ancient mysteries, clashing steel with formidable foes, or forging alliances that shape the world, every session is a chance to carve your legend into the annals of history. I believe in player agency and immersive storytelling—your choices matter, and the world reacts to them. Expect thrilling combat, meaningful character arcs, and a setting brimming with lore waiting to be unearthed. The stakes are high, but so are the rewards for those bold enough to chase them. If you’re seeking a player-driven adventure campaign the bring your swords, your spells, and your best battle cries—because destiny is calling!

I became a GM because
It is the best seat in the house with unlimited deployment options. I never get tired of new characters to use.
My favorite books are
The art of war: because I play wargames the code book: it is my bible ttrpg books: my best resource for ideas and executions.
My favorite system of all Time is
DnD, going through the editions over the years you see how they never reprint an old table. I.e 2e mining tables, 4e monster manual has DC based monster lore, sanity, mental illness...
How Dave runs games
I run high-energy, action-packed adventures set in a world of grand heroes, ancient magic, and epic conflicts. I believe in big moments—dramatic showdowns, daring escapes, and choices that shape the world. Combat is fast, tactical, and meaningful, with enemies that think, adapt, and have their own goals. Exploration and mystery fuel the adventure, rewarding curiosity and clever thinking. While I love action, I also emphasize player agency—your choices matter, and the world reacts. Whether you’re striking down a tyrant, forging uneasy alliances, unearthing forgotten lore, or running a dairy farm, your actions will leave a mark.

I deal with rules issues by...
If it permits, sending a message to address or directly in the moment. Generally my rules are listed for reference on the most contested RAW/RAI articles, or if it is anything other than what is found in the relative hand book needs a ruling.
My games focus on...
My games focus on having fun, because no rpg is better than bad rpg.
When it comes to voices
Roleplay is encouraged but not enforced. You can be sure I will be the first to be out there making you laugh so that you will return the favor!
Dave's ideal table
Players that fit well are ones that are able to engage in some back and forth to find common ground. I generally have engaged on most topics to have a ruling that respects the system and has its place, which is to say I will still entertain options give new information. Ride or die players are my favorite, ones that trust in my character creation framework for players, ones that trust me when new options become available when players invest in unique character options ie identities and safe houses.

I love it when a player
When a player can be the adult and just say they wont be there, I get it real life over rules the game. And that is okay.
I think metagaming...
It is okay within reason. I accept a lot if it is roleplayed to develop sudden battle tactics. Sometimes too much metagaming and I will wandering monster :)
My table is not the place for...
Not the place for the solo player who goes against the party, decides to break bad. In doing so you forfeit the character sheet. You are welcome to create a new character who will be more amenable. Not the place for a player who thinks the table rules do not apply to them.
