About David Silver

I've been running games for over 20 years. I will work with players to approach problems their own way, even if that's outside the given lines. The world is alive and reacts to your shenanigans. Even when running modules, I delight in rewarding creative thinking to problems. Not everything has to be won in a battle, but I will handle that with grace too. I love my fantasy chess. Writer of 3pp material for Pathfinder(1 and 2) and D&D(5). GAME STYLE: Combat: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exploration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Humor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Puzzles: ⭐⭐⭐ Social: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (This is a little higher in play-by-post) Romance: 💝💝💝💝 (With consent)

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Good teacher, knows the rules, and great at improvisation to let people flow.

How David Silver runs games

I will gladly roleplay(SFW only) and run some crunchy tactical combat, possibly at the same time! We're following a written adventure, or I'm letting you explore the world of my creation, in which case I am more hands off and letting you take the wheel.

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Inviting a citation. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, and so it is. Either way, let us proceed!

My games focus on...

Fun encounters with bedazzingly automated, singing, and dancing Foundry when we're not dealing with poorly voice but energetic NPCs with emotions they are eager to share.

Rules are...

Generally to be taken as they are, as a default. But defaults can be broken in turn for when they are especially dumb and/or get in the way of a great story. But, by default, rules as written, and I take pride in knowing them.
