If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

...you and other players at the table!

My games focus on...

Rules are...

...guidelines, their job is to provide structure but they should not get in the way of fun!

Danil and Dragons's ideal table

Most of my successful tables become friends over time. I try to provide a safe and comfortable environment for everyone to shine and be their true selves. As such, the vibe at the table is often friendly, almost casual, but not at the cost of quality or presentation. Rather, we understand that we are here primarily to have fun playing games with people we like. So, most of the people who enjoy playing with me like the social aspects of TTRPGs, and are most frequently talented roleplayers, or are here to become one.
