Kent has a long history in the game and brings his experience to bear on current campaigns. He’s laid back and fun but keeps things moving along. As a first timer to online D&D, I think he has been supportive and patient as I learn the ropes. Cheers!

Great setup, smooth gameplay and keeps everyone included and is a good time with a lot of experience. Rules are known, but able to be bent for "rule of cool" or ingenuity.

DM Dad is a fantastic DM! He made getting back into D&D after many decades away from table top games super easy. He is very collaborative in bringing your ideas and hopes for your character to life in the game. He makes sure that everyone is included at the "table". The worlds really come alive between the visual aids he prepares, the ambient music, and the acting of the NPCs you get to interact with. I am thoroughly enjoying the game and highly recommend him as your next DM!

Kent (aka DM Dad) is a great DM. He's been a long-time player and is extremely knowledgeable of D&D history, lore, and (most importantly) the rules. However, he is very patient and tolerant with players both with game-play AND the mechanics of the gaming platform we use. I highly recommend him for groups of pretty much any experience level. He makes the gaming experience a LOT of fun. I look forward to our sessions every week.
