About me

Your adventure awaits! I have been playing TTRPGs for over 2 decades, though I have spent most of that time running them for other people. I think I actually enjoy running adventures for other people more than I like playing them myself, though I still play in a game here and there, including a weekly Pathfinder 2e. I have hosted games for Dungeons & Dragons 3.0, 3.5, and 5, Pathfinder 1e, Pathfinder 2e, Aliens, Call of Cthulhu, amongst others. I am working on learning and developing games for Fallout RPG and the new Walking Dead RPG, as well. I am an avid believer in being prepared. I tend to put a whole bunch of extra touches in my games. For instance, narrative box text is not read by me but by sound files that have been prepared in advance, making these smooth and immersive. I always do a Session 0 for character creation, world background, and more importantly, to get some background on your characters so I can weave them into the story. It's a nice touch to have characters be part of a story and have their own personal quests that pop up, rather than just being an actor. I have run games for experienced groups and also for beginner groups. All are welcome. I look forward to running adventures for you. Let's have fun gaming together.

GM Style

I am adaptable to the player's preference. I enjoy both roleplaying and combat and will let the players drive how much they roleplay vs. go right into combat. I am not afraid to necessarily kill PCs but I root for the players and do not actively look to kill characters. My ideal tough encounter is where everyone survives but expends a lot of resouces.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a dual Pathfinder 1e and Pathfinder 2e adventure led by the exceptionally talented Game Master, Danny. Our journey through the iconic "Rise of the Runelords" campaign was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to his skillful storytelling and immersive game mastering. Danny's ability to breathe life into the campaign was truly remarkable. From the vivid descriptions of the bustling town of Sandpoint to the spine-chilling encounters within the ancient Thassilonian ruins, every scene felt like a vibrant tableau, painted with his words. His attention to detail and commitment to creating a rich, dynamic world were evident in every session. One of Danny's standout qualities is his adeptness at adapting to the needs and preferences of the players. Whether we were exploring the intricate rules of Pathfinder 1e or navigating the streamlined mechanics of Pathfinder 2e, he seamlessly transitioned between editions, ensuring that each player felt comfortable and engaged. His deep understanding of the game systems allowed for a smooth and enjoyable experience, even for those new to Pathfinder. Danny's storytelling prowess truly shone during pivotal moments of the campaign. The climactic battles were narrated with such intensity that you could almost feel the rush of adrenaline and the weight of our decisions. His NPCs were diverse, memorable, and skillfully woven into the narrative, adding layers of complexity to the story. Furthermore, Danny's dedication to player agency was evident throughout our sessions. He masterfully wove our character backstories into the overarching plot, creating a personalized and immersive experience for each player. His ability to balance the epic scale of the campaign with the individual journeys of our characters was commendable. In conclusion, GM Danny's mastery of both Pathfinder editions and his exceptional storytelling skills elevated our "Rise of the Runelords" adventure to new heights. His passion for the game and commitment to creating a collaborative and enjoyable experience for the players make him an outstanding Game Master. If you have the opportunity to join one of Danny's campaigns, consider yourself fortunate – you're in for an unforgettable gaming experience.
