Dan Telfer is a screenwriter, game writer, TV writer, and dabbles in a few hundred other niche careers. Dan is largely known for their stand-up comedy, which has been featured on best-selling albums and on television. They’ve also written for the TTRPG Dungeons & Dragons, been the Dungeon Master for one of the longest running D&D podcasts (Brian Posehn’s Nerd Poker), they consulted on the recent 2021 movie Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and co-wrote the adaptation of Netflix’s The Dragon Prince for tabletop roleplaying in a sourcebook called Tales of Xadia (including 47 new dragon species that are now canon). On another side of gaming they’re proud to have worked in, Dan also co-wrote a caregiver game that simulated dementia caretaking for Mentia. Their first screenplay to make it to theaters was The Asylum’s 2025 adaptation of The Land That Time Forgot, featuring a non-binary lead character that fought velociraptors with only a fire ax. Somewhere in there, they also became the only person ever to become an editor of both comedy publications The Onion and MAD Magazine.
