About Denis
🇬🇧 English Version I’ve been a Game Master since 2019 and have since run dozens of campaigns and one-shots across a wide variety of systems, including D&D, Daggerheart, Coriolis, Cyberpunk, Pathfinder 2E, the Without Number games, and many more. In 2024, I officially hosted dozens of 20-minute demo sessions for Wizards of the Coast at Gamescom, both in German and English. I’ve also GM’d numerous games at nerd and gaming festivals across Germany, introducing many new players to the joy of tabletop roleplaying. Whether you’re completely new or a seasoned player, my goal is always to create engaging stories, memorable characters, and a welcoming table for everyone. --------------------------------------- 🇩🇪 Deutsche Version Ich bin seit 2019 als Game Master aktiv und habe seitdem zahlreiche Kampagnen und One-Shots in unterschiedlichsten Systemen geleitet – darunter D&D, Daggerheart, Coriolis, Cyberpunk, Pathfinder 2E, die Without Number-Spiele und viele mehr. 2024 habe ich offiziell zahlreiche 20-Minuten-Demo-Sessions für Wizards of the Coast auf der Gamescom geleitet – sowohl auf Deutsch als auch auf Englisch. Außerdem habe ich auf verschiedenen Nerd- und Gaming-Festivals in ganz Deutschland gespielt und dabei viele Menschen für dieses wunderbare Hobby begeistern können. Egal ob Einsteiger:in oder erfahrene:r Spieler:in – mir ist es wichtig, spannende Geschichten zu erzählen, lebendige Welten zu erschaffen und einen offenen, angenehmen Spieltisch für alle zu bieten.

I became a GM because
I wanted to tell deep stories and have fun while doing so. And because of the collaborative nature of this hobby I get to have the best of both worlds :)
My favorite books are
Metro Series, Futu.re, Dungeon Crawler Carl, Where the Crawdads Sing, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Southern Reach Series
When I'm not running games I'm...
building worlds, walking in front of my desk and coding stuff.
How Denis runs games
My games focus on immersive roleplay, strong character moments, and collaborative storytelling. I give players room to explore their characters, make meaningful choices, and actively shape the world. I am a big fan of visuals and technical polish. I use VTT visuals, automations, and dynamic maps to keep the game flowing smoothly and reduce rules friction. This allows everyone to stay immersed in the story. I also make heavy use of curated ambience and mood music to support atmosphere and emotional impact. Encounters are purposeful and cinematic, whether they are social scenes, narrative conflicts, or tactical combat. Everything is adapted to the group’s preferences and experience level. My tables are welcoming, inclusive, and beginner friendly, while still offering depth and challenge for experienced players.
Denis's ideal table
My table is welcoming, respectful, and focused on shared storytelling. Players who enjoy roleplay, strong atmosphere, and meaningful choices will fit in very well. Collaboration, communication, and mutual respect are more important to me than winning or dominating the spotlight. My table is a good fit for players who enjoy visuals, smooth VTT automation, and carefully chosen ambience music. It may not be a good fit for players who enjoy disruptive play, constant rules arguments, or unconsented player versus player conflict. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, involved, and excited to come back for the next session.
