About David Hulegaard

My name is Dave and I have been running games for over 47 years. All of my players have witnessed the level of dedication I bring to the table, and the time I take to prepare, and customize each experience for the individual players. I take the time to help each player develop their own story arcs, and customizations to make each character unique. I have also worked closely with other GM’s to develop our skills to help provide a fun and exciting experience for our players. I have a large collection of RPG’s totaling over 246 so far, not including digital titles, and these have given me a wide breadth of experience and techniques to pull from. Please see the testimonials from previous players for examples of their own experiences. For more on what I have to offer please visit my website at www.rolethedice.org

People are always surprised when I tell them

Ive been struck by lighting and I have played tug-of-war with a fully grown adult male gorilla. I lost

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

patient, funny and prepared

When I'm not running games I'm...

writing games, reading, martial arts, leatherworking, and now 3D printing. I am also working on bringing my lvl 1-20 adventure Gems of Kalathos to print.

How David Hulegaard runs games

I run an open-world style of play. I adapt the world to the players actions, and those actions have consequences in the world. This is the way I run all genre's of play. I like to have a fun and welcome anyone to my gaming table. I run sessions with 2-7 players currently, but I have ran up to 17 players at one weekend long session. I run a yearly 'Halloween Dungeon' event that runs 3 days straight and has been an annual event for over 30 years. I will be happy to run you in a one-shot, full campaign, or I can setup a full 2-day weekend game-a-thon. I am currently putting together a campaign for my favorite RPG, Earthdawn by FASA. However I am also focused on D&D 5e and Monte Cook's Cypher system. But I dont stop there!; I will run any genre or system that I own. And I have over 236+ in my collection! So book a game and come play! I would love to meet you.

Featured Prompts

Rules are...

A guideline, a skeletal framework that supports the creations of the mind. I feel that they should help and not hinder the story that is woven by the players and the GM. They are useful to a point, but I feel can be...adjusted to fit the scene, not the other way around.

David Hulegaard's ideal table

Respectful, patient and fun. I am a yes,but, GM. I like to keep things real, and im very descriptive. However I do like whimsy too. I always want feedback from my players and I listen to their concerns. I run fairly mature games now, but above all were here to have fun.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Innovates or finds a way around the proverbial system box to enrich the scene, their character, or the story.

I think metagaming...

Is distracting and lessens the overall enjoyment of a game

I think min/maxing...

Is a waste of potential. Some of the best fun comes from using and overcoming weaknesses.
