About DM Dalton

Greetings adventurers! I'm DM Dalton, a seasoned Dungeon Master with a passion for storytelling and creating unforgettable tabletop RPG experiences. With over seven years of Dungeon Mastering under my belt, I've delved into countless realms, weaving tales that captivate players of all ages—from eager young adventurers to seasoned veterans. Professionally, I've had the honor of serving as a Dungeon Master for libraries and local game stores, crafting adventures that bring joy and excitement to diverse groups of players. Whether you're brand new to the world of RPGs or a seasoned hero, I'm here to guide you through epic quests, challenging encounters, and moments of triumph. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, inclusivity and diversity are at the heart of my campaigns. Everyone is welcome at my table, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where all voices can be heard and celebrated. Gaming Preferences: I am well versed in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and have some experience with Pathfinder 1st and 2nd editions. I enjoy exploring different game systems and can adapt to various RPG settings and mechanics. Campaign Style: I am a well-rounded DM who excels at world-building, bringing characters to life, and entertaining combat. My campaigns often feature rich narratives, immersive environments, and strategic challenges that keep you engaged and eager for more. Previous Campaign Highlights: From thwarting dragon hoards to unraveling political conspiracies, my campaigns have seen heroes rise, fall, and rise again. I love creating memorable moments that keep players talking long after the dice have been rolled. Availability: I'm flexible with scheduling and can accommodate various time zones. Whether you're looking for a weekly campaign or a one-shot adventure, let's find a time that works for you! Additional Interests: Outside of tabletop RPGs, I enjoy exploring new board games, diving into fantasy literature, and honing my skills as a miniature painter. Let's embark on a journey together and discover the magic of storytelling through tabletop role-playing games. Adventure awaits!

How DM Dalton runs games

For my Games, I love creating story-driven adventures with various twists and turns. I really enjoy it when players can get into their characters and use improvisation and their own ideas to help build these various worlds.

Rules are...

the Rules, unless they get in the way of everyone's fun.

DM Dalton's ideal table

I enjoy players that want to add to the settings I set before them. Whether that's coming up with NPC's who'd know something about the situation, adding a bit a lore to world, or even just coming up and sharing fun stories about their character's past with the group. All of this makes the RP more of a cooperative experience rather than leaving myself to fill in the blanks to everything.

Featured Prompts

My table is not the place for...

those who hog the spotlight or those who sit in the shadows till Combat starts. Players need to be able to step up and pass the torch to their Party Members lifting each other up with RP. That way everyone is a Star!
