About David

Hi, I’m David! Storytelling has been my passion since childhood. I used to build endless adventures with my toys and regularly ignored bedtime to keep the stories going. That creative spark evolved through my teen years into live action roleplaying (LARP), where I discovered a love for improvisation and collaborative world building. I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons for 29 years, starting with AD&D at age 10 and stepping into the Dungeon Master role by 13. Since then, I’ve been crafting immersive and engaging worlds designed to draw players in and keep the energy high.

I got started GMing...

On my 12th birthday, yes it was the gift I asked my older sister and her friends!

How David runs games

My DM style is fast paced and balanced, blending roleplay, skill challenges, and dynamic combat. I come to every session fully prepared, making space for creativity and spontaneity. My goal is to empower players to shape the story alongside me and create something unforgettable together.

David's ideal table

My table is fast paced and focused on what is fun for the group. We move quickly toward exciting moments rather than getting stuck overthinking every detail. Players with strong imagination and creative ideas fit especially well, because I love saying yes to bold plans and building on them. I have a solid knowledge of the rules and use them confidently, but having a great time together always comes first. The vibe is energetic, collaborative, and story driven, where everyone contributes and we create memorable moments as a team.

I love it when a player

I love it when a player takes ownership of their character’s story and brings their own ideas to the table. When someone builds their backstory, goals, or connections and I get to weave those elements into the world we are creating together, that is where the magic happens.
