About me

Hello, I'm Daniel (he/him), GM and DM of multiple games for a few decades. Favorite game is definitely D&D, in all of its incarnations. My favorite D&D flavors are Pathfinder 2E and 13th Age, but I have ran Tyranny of Dragons twice using 5E. I also ran a lot of Ars Magica, and a bit of Call of Cthulhu, various Superheroes games, Star Wars, Warhammer, Invisible Suns, Vampire and more. Currently running a Ars Magica Saga on Mondays and playing a Fabula Ultima game. I love to play games in person, and I'm generally very happy GMing, but I do like to play from time to time. I'm also a dad of two twins, love to paint miniatures and play music (mostly bass). I also play video games, like FFXIV and Path of Exile. I work for a large Internet company on the music space and I live in California.

GM Style

The best characteristic of a GM in my opinion is pacing: never let a game come to a halt. So my games tend to keep moving and we can accomplish quite a bit in a session. I like a good mix of combat, exploration and roleplay. Expect at least on combat per session, but also one puzzle/trap and one (relevant) NPC interaction. I like playing using video, if online. Getting visual cues from players helps me a lot, and vice-versa: I think players can enjoy the game more if they can see my face and my emotional tone. I also prefer diverse group of players, as diverse points of view makes campaigns much more interesting, and all people are welcomed on my games.
