About me
Hi I'm Mike Daniel, your friendly Chicago Hobbit. I have 13+ years experience GMing including running multiple DnD Campaigns to 20th level and 3 years DMing for an Adventure's League group. I host the TTRPG Podcast and Twitch Channel 19 Hits the Dragon. I've written a handful of adventures that are available on the DMs Guild with over 1,000 downloads combined.
GM Style
I love roleplay that brings out the best in characters and players alike. I throw curve balls and pull the rug out from under players and prefer to deal emotional damage over physical but all in the name of a good story. I really enjoy involving the players in worldbuilding. I may ask you to name an NPC or an establishment you enter. I tend to stick to the rules but the rule of cool will always supersede as long as it's not completely breaking the game or the story. My games center around mystery, intrigue, twisting expectations, and bringing the best out of players and their characters. I like to have fun and tell a story together but that doesn’t mean I’ll be pulling any punches.

Teacher
A lot of fun to play with. Very patient and understanding with new/ newer players to the game. Great background music choices. Does a really good job of guiding players along the story path. Definitely makes time go by too fast, which is a fantastic "problem" to have. :)
