About me

Hello! My name is David (Evil Penguin). I've been playing D&D since 1984 with the original red box, i.e. I'm old. I went to college for creative writing. Then got a job in the film industry. So, I've pretty much built my whole life around the creative pursuits. Which makes me well suited for telling stories... my sessions that I have vary in type, but I try to mix elements of the big three: role-playing, exploration, and combat. Players will have an opportunity to at each of these at various times throughout a game. My general philosophy is that I, as a DM, have more fun when my players are having fun. Therefore, I try my best to give everyone at the table a chance to be the hero/anti-hero. Giving everyone a chance to shine... not just the OP fighter who min/maxed to be a killing machine... but also to the bard who just doesn't do that much in combat because their too busy talking their way out of most potentially hostile encounters. I believe in a friendly, all-inclusive table. New players to experienced are welcomed.

GM Style

My philosophy for GMing is ultimately, it's a game and it's supposed to be fun above all. Now different people have different ideas of fun, so I try to make my games a balance between exploration, role-playing, and combat. A little something for everyone. Some sessions, your character might take a more backseat role, but I guarantee that there will be other sessions where your character will be the main protagonist. It's my job to make sure ALL the players at my table have fun... a purely selfish exercise on my part, as that's how I have fun. It's not just a drama. It's not just a comedy. It's not just an action film. It's all that... like life. But without the boring parts like paying bills or running errands. Haha
