The second game is the tricky Chigorin Defense. You may want to try it.

I think he wants games with 1.d4 and 2.Nf3, Nc3, or e3.

I LOST some games with White like that, but they are too embarrassing to show here. I thought he was looking for ways to avoid boring double QP openings.

I usually play the Torre Attack with White. It's pretty exciting (I think).

I look at d4 more as unstoppable power than playing it safe. e4 gives you a swarm of nasty little waves of attack, nice surf and tricky situations. d4 gives one big wave that comes from the deep, takes a little more time to build up, but when the surf's up it's one gigantic killer that demolishes everything with its momentum.

I'm more of a big wave guy.
I love this quote by wormwood - It's bang on! 😀
