About me

Hi! I am David, an avid Fantasy TTRPG gamer with a background in theatre, music, and digital media production. My games are a healthy mix of role play, unique skill challenges, exciting combat, with emphasis on balanced, collaborative story-telling. I build campaigns based around the PCs, providing meaningful plot to keep the players invested. Come build a world with me!

GM Style

It's about the story for me. I love building my campaigns like a writers room on a collaborative, character driven series. I have been playing ttrpgs of a wide variety for about 20 years, and DMing home-brewed settings with my friends and family for five years. I have ten years of professional experience in theatre and music production. Storytelling is a passion and a need. My favorite sessions have a mix of narrative puzzles, character development, combat, and skill challenges. I am definitely here for the rule of cool, but a game is nothing without structure. I tend to pull from/lean on source content for balancing ideas. Come build a world with me!

David is a fun and engaging DM that does his best to make every player feel unique, cool, and valuable. He's there to help you from character creation to in-game to ensure your vision of your character becomes a reality. He's frequently available for messages or chats outside of game to clear any confusion, or just to have fun messaging back and forth about character, plot, stories, or ensuring the session was good.

David is awesome! He has created such a rich world for us to play in, constructed in a way that promotes player agency and incredible story telling. If you have a character centric build you want to try, I would highly recommend developing their story with David.

David is a fun DM that promotes creativity and is excited to help players make unique characters that integrate into his world in a fun way. Somehow he has brought together our group of humanoids, monsters, smart beasts and sentient mushrooms and made us care about one another. I think we might even have a time traveler, and somehow it all works well. David also provides good maps and pictures of his NPCs, some good character voices here and there, and his own unique, integrative world settings. I highly recommend David if you want a laid back DM that creates fun, inclusive worlds along with some good music to set the mood.
