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

Looking for other games to run. Setting up house rules for games I have. Working on making my own RPG and boardgame.

How Daniel runs games

While I enjoy a lot of rules crunch to keep the game grounded, I also like minds eye theater for combat. I want the players to think outside the box with the tools they have. I run two forms of game. Railroad- Scenario based games. Center location- All players start each session from a center point. My games are open roll and I don't fudge to help or hinder the players. Roleplaying is important part of the game and the NPCs will behave like people.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

The story and how the players interact and change it.

Rules are...

Fair and impartial. They are refined for the experience.

When it comes to voices

Ill do my best. But for the most part i explain what sounds of the area and persons are.

Daniel's ideal table

Players talk and are jovial at all times. All types of players are accepted at the table. The vibe will be shifting to follow the flow of what is happening in the game as well as following the core theme of the game. If you like a challenge and unique game rules. Even unique games. Then your welcome to join. I don't balance encounters, the story is always first.

I love it when a player

Comes of with something creative.

I think metagaming...

a disappointing way to play a story. Which will be held up and pointed out as a bad way to enjoy the game.

I think min/maxing...

Is great. Have fun with the mechanics. Games are meant to be fun.
