About DM Daniel
Just a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude. I've been the Forever DM (TM) for the past 15+ years in my TTRPG journey and have enjoyed every minute of it. I tend to focus, and even specialize, in narrative driven, character focused games with improvization as a core mechanic. The Golen Rule and Rule 0 are my bread and butter. The rules are there as guidelines and as long as the players (and DM) are having fun, the rules can be bent or even broken if it leads to a better story.

I became a GM because I enjoy the worldbuilding, the puzzle of story design, and working to understand and modify mechanics.
How DM Daniel runs games
Narrative and character first are my primary drives. Working to create a deep and satisfying arc for each character within the bounds of the community narrative. - Tactical combat - Character lead roleplay - Using character webs to create and inform drama between characters and NPCs - Background plotlines and shifting worlds that exist apart from the PCs
