About me

Hi everyone, I'm Dan, and thanks for reading this. I have (I know, it's a lot) something over 6000 sessions as a DM over 40 years. That's worked out as rom an average of 3 per week x 52 weeks x 40 years which is 6,240 sessions. I'd like to bring some of that experience to a game for you. Full Campaigns? I have a great deal of experience in this. One Shots? Definitely. Introductory Sessions? Absolutely, when I completed this "About" page it was one week after completing 2 intro sessions (both of which have since started full campaigns). Please get in contact, and we'll work out the best route to adventure, riches and fame... and maybe a dragon or two!


GM style

A mix of roleplay & action, NPC interaction and intrigue. Risk? Of course, but the rewards are there. I run homebrew campaigns, which are either fully-fledged campaigns I have designed, or campaigns to suit a particular requirement. I use different voices and accents for my NPCs, whether menacing, jovial or otherwise. I generally run campaigns, but also run shorter adventures. I do think a longer campaign allows a player to see their character develop and really get immersed in both their own character-driven story arc as well as the campaign itself... and I also acknowledge that sometimes a one-shot is just the sort of game needed: let me know what sort of game you'd like, and I can make it happen for you.
