Gerry
Great understanding of how to get people started. He made the process easy and the game was fun. I had no idea how AD&D 5th edition spellcasting worked, but he got me through it. He has good visuals and music effects too.

Cobalt is a perfect DM for a beginner or for someone who has been away from D&D for a while. His session was well-rounded with an awesome assortment of stuff to do. He is a great teacher.

Cobalt is always Fair, makes the game fun, and easy going. Great with the rules, and always prepared for the game. He takes he game serious but never stuffy or a rule monger.

Cobalt is a good, fun DM who kept things moving and worked well with all of the diverse range of players you draw when you run a one-shot. He got everyone up to speed and made good use of technology without letting it bog down the game. It made for a fun evening of DnD.

Cobalt is an absolutely amazing DM! If you get the chance to book him, DO IT! You won't regret it!
Additional details
How to prepare
Voice will be through discord. You will receive an invite to the Cobalt's Quest server. Locate the name of the game and click on the Gaming voice channel. Video is optional. Characters should be prepared in DnD Beyond from the link emailed to you. Please install Above VTT from the chrome store.
What I provide
I will provide access to character creation through DnD Beyond. I will provide maps and tokens for players unless players have tokens they wish to provide.
Gameplay details
This game will immerse you into the three tenants of Dungeons and Dragons. Exploration, Roleplay, and Combat. This game contains fantasy violence. We'll be using Above VTT for maps, lighting, resources and more. We'll use a combination of strategic combat using gridded maps, and more narrative, theater-of-the-mind combat when appropriate. Roleplay is highly suggested. You don't have to use a special voice for your character but acting as your character in terms of behaviors, decisions, and values (just to name a few), is essential. Knowledge of the rules is helpful but not necessary. You can learn as you play along. I use lines and veils for safety. Lines and veils set boundaries on content for a game. Lines are hard limits on content. They are things that the players don’t want in the game. Veils are things that are ok to be suggested at but to not be shown.Lines and veils can be adjusted as needed throughout the game. This game contains fantasy violence. I have a zero tolerance policy on the following in or out of game: SEXUAL ASSAULT (OF ANY KIND) RACISM / HOMOPHOBIA / SEXISM
