About Dame DaRosa
Heyo, my name's Daniel, but you can call me Dame! I like making stuff, telling stories, and having an awesome time engaging in jolly cooperation! I've been a fantasy and RPG fanatic all my life, but have been a VTTRPG DM for a few years now, and counting. Everybody has to start somewhere, and with D&D quickly becoming more and more popular this day and age, I'd love to be the one to show you the ropes! I run my games using a combination of Discord and Fantasy Grounds Unity. New to FGU? Not a problem! I'm a self-certified expert, and will have you tackling that learning curve as painlessly as possible! I pride myself in my attention to detail, and genuine desire to see that the entire table feels welcome, included, and heard. If you're looking for a game where you really feel like your character has a place in the story, and your carefully constructed backstory has relevance in the narrative, I'm the guy who can make it happen!

I became a GM because
I believe everyone deserves an interactive, immersive adventure where stories come alive, choices matter, and fun doesn't break the bank. I love creating worlds that welcome new and seasoned players alike into something unforgettable.
How Dame DaRosa runs games
My favorite aspects of D&D include tactical combat, rich story telling, and high fantasy settings. RPGs are one of the greatest outlets out there for stretching the imagination, inspiring critical thinking, and forming life-long memories and connections, and my goal is to bring all of that to the (virtual) table! Not every encounter requires violence or force to overcome, but I relish the opportunity to provide all sorts of unique challenges and twists to combat that help make conflict meaningful and memorable. Rest assured, if combat is your thing, you will find no shortage in my games! If you favor roleplay over combat, believe me when I say creative thinking and heartfelt effort are generously rewarded in my games. I've also got a modest little repertoire of goofy voices and accents, and I strive to make NPCs that are memorable, diverse, and (usually) helpful! Your story matters, and I am honored to be the one to help bring your backstory and character vision life.

I deal with rules issues by...
pausing briefly to draw on experience or check the books, but if the moment needs momentum, I strive to make a fair ruling to keep things moving. I follow up with research after the session and share any final calls so everyone stays informed and on the same page.
My games focus on...
characters. Their struggles, triumphs, and the mark they leave on the world. I work with players to build characters with real goals, encouraging proactive roleplay, meaningful choices, and growth that shapes the story in both big and small ways.
Rules are...
the backbone that keep the game running smoothly and everyone on the same page, but they’re not infallible. I follow them for structure, but if they hinder fun or cinematic moments, I’ll work with the group to adapt and keep the story flowing.
Dame DaRosa's ideal table
My ideal table is made up of players who are not only invested in their own characters, but also in the growth, struggles, and victories of their fellow party members. I value collaborative storytelling where everyone gets a chance to shine, and where the spotlight is shared with intention and generosity. I look for players who enjoy roleplay, care about the story, and are eager to engage with the world and the people in it. The vibe at my table is respectful, inclusive, and imaginative. Whether you're a veteran or new to the game, what matters most is a willingness to collaborate, listen, and build something meaningful together. I encourage character-driven choices, creative problem solving, and proactive gameplay. If you’re excited to help shape a living world, support your fellow players, and explore a narrative full of discovery and emotion, then you’ll fit right in at my table!

I love it when a player
takes the initiative to include others in a scene, especially those who are new or quiet. By drawing fellow players into roleplay and building moments together, they help the story feel more alive, the party feel more connected, and the table become a place where everyone belongs.
I think metagaming...
can’t always be avoided, but I believe that the best games shine when players stay in character and lean into the unknown. Embracing mystery keeps the world immersive and makes each discovery feel earned and exciting!
My table is not the place for...
joke characters who disrupt the story or break immersion. I welcome humor, but I ask that characters fit the tone and respect the shared world we’re building together.
