Dave Friant

He/Him

Nerdarchist Dave here. I've been playing TTRPG games for nearly four decades and play with all kinds of people from all over the world.  For the past eight years I've shared my passion for D&D and other role-playing games as co-founder of Nerdarchy.

When it comes to being a Dungeon Master I specialize in customizing D&D sessions and campaigns to the players through unique play experiences. 

Want to play an aquatic campaign where you save a coral kingdom from ancient prophecy? How about D&D where you speed across a magic-blasted wasteland in a post-apocalyptic world as you and your motorcycle gang scavenge for survival and perhaps a big score? Ever want to play in a campaign where humans are the minority in a “land of the lost” style setting ruled by dragon empires and dominant reptilian species who worship the five elements alongside their draconic rulers?

What about dungeons, dragons and mechs? You and your team might be the only ones able to keep literal giants and enormous monsters from destroying civilization. Well, you and your trusty Arcana Mechs to even the playing field for your clash with these titans. 

Game Style

Dave Friant is a player and story driven DM that finds that the players are the best inspiration for the stories that happen in the game. Most importantly, Dave is here to help you tell your character's story.
