I've recorded everything I know to take anyone from absolute beginner to storytelling assassin. Whether you want to go pro, or just shock and awe your friends and family, I can help you get to the next level.
It is I, B. Dave Walters!
And just like you... I was born with ZERO storytelling skills.
I’m one of the very few people who’ve successfully written and had screenplays for film and TV produced, had comics and graphic novels published, and published novels.
I'm best known as the writer of Dungeons & Dragons: A Darkened Wish for IDW comics, and Invitation to Party on G4 TV. I'm the writer of family films Lena & Snowball and The Pet Detectives. I'm also the co-writer of Devil's Brigade, the Salvage Marines TV series and Electropunk Transmedia series. I have written tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), films, novels, non-fiction books, and over 500 nationally syndicated articles.
After 5 years of working in the streaming space, tons of practice, trial and error I became the first DM for a campaign on television-Invitation to Party on G4 TV-and the DM for the cast of Stranger Things on Netflix Geeked, along with official projects for Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering for Wizards of the Coast, Vampire: The Masquerade / World of Darkness, Chaosium, Paizo, and many other major brands.
I have been blessed to break out in the TTRPG industry and become one of the very few, possibly only person to climb to the highest heights of the TTRPG industry across multiple games and genres, as player, storyteller, and producer...and built a 6 figure business along the way!
This took me 20+ years to accomplish, and today I'm sharing all my secrets in this program so you can do the same in 1/100th the time !
"Learning from the best in the game how to BE the best. B. Dave's lessons are a masterclass in what to do [and what to steer away from, which is just as important] in the TTRPG space and to be able to learn the craft from him is amazing beyond words" - Kyle G.
"B. Dave Walters is THE first source of professional guidance and wisdom in tabletop whether you’re a writer or performer. You have something invaluable to learn from B. Dave no matter your experience level." - IsFriday.
"I took your Undisputed Academy courses as part of my decision to finally enter the world of TTRPGs publicly. Your courses are inspirational, and came at the right time for me. Thank you for providing assets like these courses for those of us looking to break into the scene.
