About David
Looking for RPG sessions that are fresh, fun, funny, and full of roleplaying opportunities? And a GM that encourages player creativity, is inclusive, and great at teaching you how to play? Look no further! I've been creating narrative experiences for audiences since 2000 as a stage director and actor. So, when I discovered the world of tabletop RPGs in 2018, I instantly fell in love with its interactive and collaborative storytelling potential. I've since gone on to run all sorts of games, from high fantasy and urban fantasy, to supernatural and horror, to slice-of-life and sci-fi. I can't wait to share my love of RPGs with you, and hereby extend an invitation to you in joining me to discover exciting worlds, play awesome characters, and embark on unforgettable journeys.

How David runs games
I provide a safe and inclusive space where great stories can be told and a ton of fun can be had. I also love to encourage player input and creativity and aim to give everyone a chance to shine. Plus, I'll lean on my skills as an actor to act out characters, as a director to craft exciting and engaging moments, and as a writer and improviser to create surprising twists and turns that are full of suspense, drama, or comedy. Furthermore, with my background in teaching in the performing arts, you can expect someone that’s patient and great at explaining the rules.
