My favorite part of the game was the fact that we kept falling in love with Adam’s NPC’s that we kept adopting them into the party

Father Mac

Adam has a way of sitting down with you and helping you make the character you want to play. And after he helps you breathe life into it, he helps you immerse you into the game itself. For the next 3-5 hours, you get to be a part of the story that you, him, and the rest of your group, wishes to tell. He makes it known that he has some ideas of where things -could- go, but also brings in parts of your character’s background as well. And it all seems so seamless. I would game with Adam again and again if time would allow!

Our game has been going for over 2 years, and what has really helped it have the longevity that it has has been the consistency of Adam as a DM. He regularly checks in for feedback on how the game feels to everyone individually and as a group. Our game has evolved and we have grown immensely as players that were all new to DND when we started. He enforces rules well while also allowing for creativity, collaboration, and lots of laughs. Adam is an excellent listener, patient, and truly understands that this is a team game.

His story lines are always a lot of fun, he is kind and patient when it comes to new players, and I sincerely appreciate the fact that he doesn't' try to beat us down as players but ensure that everyone is having a good time... even if the dice aren't rolling so nicely. I love the NPC characters that we have met along the way and appreciate his willingness to give them all voices and very clear personalities. It is always a great experience

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a mic and ideally a webcam. You do not need to know any rules ahead of time though it will be helpful to read the basic rules. Dice will be rolled digitally with digital character sheets.

What I provide

I will bring my infectious attitude and love of the game. Any and all maps and images will be provided by me and we will use tokens and virtual minis and maps to make the experience more immersive. I will also provide links to music if you wish to have a more cinematic experience.

Gameplay details

You can expect a game tailored to your needs and desires. Any X, N, & 0 cards will be passed digitally so no one need know if you are feeling uncomfortable and wish to change directions. This is an inclusive game for any and everyone, especially you.
