About me

Hello, my name is Dave, but I usually go by CX. I've run TTRPGs on and off for over twenty years. These games have mostly involved D&D and different White Wolf games, but I am open to any system. As a GM, I like to make sessions challenging and as engaging as possible, but not necessarily deadly. I am fairly easy going as long as everyone is having fun. When I am not playing, I collect a wide variety of TTRPGs and are always on the look out for new, innovative systems. I love technology, tinker with game design and do a little writing on the side.

GM Style

As a GM, I like to make sessions challenging and as engaging as possible, but not necessarily deadly. My preferences tend toward investigations, mysteries and puzzles. Combat should be interesting and fast-paced. Heists and chases are always a possibilities. Regardless of scenarios, my number one rule is that everyone should be having fun.

Super patient and giving of his time. He has some cool, creative ideas and new spins on old classics that are a lot of fun, and adjusts well to the actions a party takes (even the chaotic ones). He is knowledgeable about many systems and likes to share them with his players.

He's really good at being flexible and making adjustments on the fly. Whether that be adjustments on the narrative to incorporate things players want to do or make adjustments in combat to maintain balancing.
