I got started GMing...

I started GMing nearly 20 years ago and have a deep passion for all things TTRPG. Gaming is my main hobby and I wanted to share my love for collaborative storytelling with others. I hope we can make some together!

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

How Daz runs games

I am mainly a story focused GM. I love telling complicated character driven narratives that focus on developing the cast and expanding the lore of the settings they inhabit. Some have described my games like interactive TV shows. I love getting really in depth with each player's character and their dynamics with the supporting cast. Story comes first!

Daz's ideal table

I encourage RP and collaboration at my table. I am a storyteller first and foremost and love creating engaging and complex narratives with my players. My players can expect epic and deep storylines filled with rich and thought-out worlds and characters. I promote kindness and patience but won't let bad behavior stand when I see it. I run a professional and friendly experience that's focused on making sure everyone is having fun.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Knows the rules and keeps track of their resources. Engages others players in good roleplay. Rolls with the punches.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Try to make everything about their character. Derail the game for other players. Make uncomfortable or inappropriate comments/jokes about someone's race or gender identity.

My perfect party mix is

3-6 players who are focused more on RP and character building but also love to throw down with a good fight as well.
