About David
I’ve always enjoyed content creation, from making my characters backstories for games when I am a player, to creating worlds and stories as a GM(Or just for myself for fun). You can normally find me watching movies, listening to music or gaming to find inspiration in my next session.

I became a GM because
I enjoy creating worlds and lore, mostly stories or concepts at first, but they soon bloom into events in a world's history. From that, I can create the people who experienced, the location where it happened, and so much more.
My favorite shows/movies are
Movies.. The Matrix, Treasure Island and.. Lost in Space, the one from 1998 with Matt LeBlanc, corny, but I love Sci-Fi and time/related themes. As for shows.. Star Trek series, any of them, honestly and any Isekai anime. Dying and reborn elsewhere, love the trope.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Usually playing high-rich lore-filled games, or games that I can share with friends that allow us to create lore. Minecraft is a good example of this. Why was this Fortress built here? Why is it in so much ruin? Who lived here? Where does this portal lead?
How David runs games
I've been a player for +8years and a GM for +5 years. I focus more on Roleplaying and discovery than Combat but leave combat as an option rather than a fixed thing you have to do. Sometimes you can talk/threaten your way out of a fight. If you prefer Homebrew Campaigns that last over a year or longer than doing a Pre-made Adventure then I am your GM. I focus on Narrative storytelling, with every character that you met having their own story. While we still follow the rules of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, I am a bit looser on some of the rules, if it's cool, chances are I'll let it slide. I focus on bringing a world to life with Character Voices and backstories for every NPC you meet. Story leads can be found anywhere and everywhere, you just need to ask the right questions.
David's ideal table
Co-operation, Collaboration and Chaos-nation! My players should understand we are playing a Co-op game, designed to be played together. Working as a group is ideal, no loners, edgy solos. Now that does not mean you cannot be edgy, just remember we are a group. Also, my players know that we all have our own limits, our own lines that we do not want others to cross, we talk problems out, we solve them as adults cause we are adults. I do not play games with children. I don't want to traumatise them with my stories. Final point, we are all accepting of each other, we all come from different places in this world, social class, working class, all that stuff, does not matter when you enter my domain. My home is where I create stories, so I make sure it is a safe place for anyone to be in.
