About DM Allan
Greetings! My name is Allan and I have been playing D&D since 1978. The game is my passion. I have played nearly all revisions of the game from original AD&D to 5e, although I skipped 4e and started playing Pathfinder. I run pre-generated modules, but I prefer custom campaigns. Most of my experience has been of the traditional face-to-face weekly meeting variety, but I have been learning three different VTTs (Foundry, Roll20, and Fantasy Grounds) and participating in many online games to hone my skills. I write software and design electronics for a living. I think the VTT tech is great, but I am a strong believer in keeping it simple so it does not interfere with the story and player emersion.
