About Daniel Lehr

I'm a huge fan of DnD with over 10 years of experience in tabletop roleplaying games and 4 years dedicated specifically to crafting and running unforgettable adventures as a DM. I love weaving rich, atmospheric stories especially surrounding cosmic, and eldritch horror. If you are drawn to the strange, the unsettling, and the forbidden, I'd love to have you in my games! I run games through Foundry Virtual Tabletop, utilizing its full suite of features to enhance immersion. Expect dynamic lighting, animated maps, ambient sound effects, and thematic music. I use digital dice rolls, and all players will have access to my DnD Beyond account, which includes all of the 2014 versions of the official 5th Edition books.

I got started GMing...

In a pretty cliche fashion, I played DnD 3.5e with a group of friends, and the friend who was our DM moved out of state. And I did my best to take over, it went pretty badly, but lit the spark for my interest in running the games. After that I began to DM at a local game-shop until the pandemic.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Writing, usually something connected to a game I'm running or am planning to run. But, I also write in my free time, poetry, short stories, anything really.

How Daniel Lehr runs games

My sessions emphasize player agency, deep roleplay, narrative tension, and the slow unraveling of secrets best left buried. If you're looking for an immersive and rich tabletop experience that leans into the strange, the eldritch, and cosmic horror, let’s delve into the unknown together. Sessions will be 3 hours with a 10 minute intermission near the halfway point of each session.

My games focus on...

Player agency, and engagement, I always want players to truly take their time with the world and the stories we're telling together. I like players to take an active role in setting the pace the narrative evolves at.

When it comes to voices

I do my best, but I am certainly no voice actor nor will I ever claim to be.

Daniel Lehr's ideal table

I enjoy role-play as much as I enjoy dice being rolled, I also am a fan of darker stories. Most of my DnD games will feature monsters like, Beholders, Mindflayers, and other aberrations. I enjoy some banter, but try to keep the focus on the game during sessions. I am a fan of rule of cool moments to allow players to truly feel like their characters are someone special. I'm open to new and veteran players, and so I ask potential players keep that in mind, as not everyone at the table may be experienced.
