About me
Born and raised amidst the stunning landscapes of Cape Town, I've been a lifelong adventurer in the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, ever since I was a child. The rich tapestry of Forgotten Realms lore has always captivated my imagination, and I find immense joy in bringing those worlds to life as a Dungeon Master. For me, the heart of D&D lies in the collaborative storytelling experience. It's about crafting unforgettable adventures that cater to the unique personalities and playstyles of my players, empowering them to become the heroes of their own epic tales. I believe that every player brings something special to the table, and I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and inspired. By trade, I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, and I love to infuse my artistic skills into my games. Whether it's designing custom maps, crafting unique character sheets, or creating visual aids to enhance the immersion, I believe that aesthetics play a crucial role in elevating the tabletop experience. So, if you're looking for a Dungeon Master who's passionate about storytelling, dedicated to creating player-centric experiences, and committed to pushing the boundaries of creativity, then let's embark on an unforgettable journey together!

Von Mercer GM
New review
Played 3 sessions
Even just a couple of sessions in, Von has proven to be an exceptional Dungeon Master. He crafts an immersive atmosphere and runs a fantastic game, but what truly sets him apart is his leadership and integrity. When behind-the-scenes table friction arose, Von handled it with absolute professionalism, setting clear boundaries and protecting player autonomy while keeping the creative energy high. It takes a great GM to maintain a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels safe to bring unique characters to life. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a thoughtful, well-run campaign!
Kate (Mask of Many Faces)
Kate is a fantastic Game Master, she is inclusive, patient and collaborative with her players. She helped me get back into Dungeons & Dragons with the 5e rules with a long hiatus since 3.5e and had a blast at her table, from playing a chilled Spores dwarven druid to a homocidal but lovable Grung Barbarian, I got to be creative and take chances! Give her a go for a good time, you are in good hands!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Ran 18 sessions / Played 2 sessions
I've been playing DND for decades, from 3E all the way now to the latest version, and I've never felt more like DND has become more inclusive to new players and old players to form a connection and enjoy a game of collaboration and storytelling. It's a beautiful escape from Reality and made some life-long friends along the way.
Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden
This is a fantastic module for a thriller, isolation campaign, I run 2 concurrent campaigns in the world of Icewind Dale, and its been a really fun experience, granted, this module leaves alot for the DM to fill the gaps, and can feel abit more sandboxy for players. Other than that, it is a fantastic module that really deals with some dark themes and using the elements as a challenge for players has been a fun experience.

David is a very accommodating DM, who creates a welcoming environment that allows new players to shine and older ones to enjoy the moment. I would highly recommend him.
