Phil is an amazing DM! His games are incredibly fun with wildly creative storylines. He works to make sure all players at the table are fully engaged and have a part to play in the story. Phil's games are highly inclusive, so whether you're a beginner or have been playing for years, you will have a great time at the table. 10/10.

Phil is very dedicated to making each session fun and immersive. He's never unprepared and always gives us the room to take the session in different places and have fun with it.

I wish that I could select more tags. Phil really goes above and beyond for his players. You can tell immediately that this is a passion of his by how much he puts into it. Great for beginners and veterans alike!

My absolute favorite thing in D&D is when the 'game' fades away and the story just feels real. When I think back to the memories I have playing with Phil, I don't think about the dice rolls, or the paper character sheets. I think about what it was like being on a boat, wind in our faces, staring down a forsaken god. Phil makes the game come alive and feel real in a really spectacular way. Every place we visited felt fully fleshed out - it always seemed like there was another mystery or story behind each door we left unopened and each conversation we had. Especially nice was how often it felt our characters were a part of and matter to the world. We had a mixed party, everyone from novices and long-time players and it went really well. I'd strongly recommend Phil if you're looking for a great time.

Additional details

How to prepare

No webcam is necessary, all you will need is access to discord, a web browser for D&D Beyond, and a microphone. Characters should be made ahead of time on D&D Beyond. If you prefer pen and paper please provide a pdf or image of your character sheet.

What I provide

I will share virtual tabletops and visual aides from my end. I will also be utilizing D&D Beyond's built in campaign/map features. Players may roll D&D Beyond's digital dice, or roll their own off-screen!

Gameplay details

Tactical planning, roleplay, and fast paced combat will be vital in executing your heist goals! We will have a session 0 before the first game on discord to discuss any hard lines/veils that you may have going into the game as well as define the type of game YOU want to play, I will give a brief introduction into my GM style, and we'll get to rolling dice as soon as we can!

How will character creation work

Characters will begin at level one, and be made beforehand in D&D Beyond using standard array. If you prefer to roll stats we will do it live at session 0. I am available for character creation assistance as needed. I have no restrictions to character builds aside from homebrew, all D&D Beyond content is open and available. Remember Keys from the Golden Vault is heavily based on cunning and stealth, but having someone who can kick in a door may not be the worst idea!
