Trace is easily one of the best DM's I have had the pleasure of playing TTRPG'S with, starting with character creation and introduction they were extremely helpful and in no time at all understood exactly what vibe I was going for and helped me make it a reality. Their game knowledge of the source books and different classes makes combat run smoothly and RP come easily, their worlds are full of different and creative NPC's and creatures that makes it feel ALIVE and lastly their resourcefulness with map creation makes almost every situation we can think of a possibility! I highly recommend giving one of their games a try, trust me you won't regret it!
If you're new to DND, look no further -- Trace is hands down the GM you want to introduce you to the game! As a new player, I was thankful and impressed that they took several hours to help me with rules and character development. They made sure that I felt confident with both role play and combat, quelling my nerves prior to Session 1. Once the campaign started, I was immediately immersed in the world they prepared--their storytelling is accompanied by great visuals, voices, and sound effects. Most importantly, they are able to create a safe space for everyone to ask questions and feel included in the story, while not slowing down the momentum of the session. Our campaign currently has a mix of new and seasoned players and everyone is having a blast. Can't recommend Trace enough!
Trace is an absolutely amazing GM! They ran my first campaign, and it's still one of my favorite experiences of all time. I was a brand new player, and they made it super easy for me to learn how to play and build a character I really enjoyed playing. Trace's NPCs are full of so much life! They give them unique voices, personalities, and motivations. I really felt like I was interacting with a living world full of diverse people with their own stories outside of my campaign. Trace really made role playing part of the game too, which I actually enjoyed a lot even though I was nervous about doing it myself. I loved having the option to act my way through a scenario rather than just be told to make dice rolls for everything, and being creative with problem solving was often rewarded so I very infrequently felt railroaded into something. I'd highly recommend Trace to anyone who enjoys DnD, but I'd especially recommend them if you're looking for an engaging role playing experience!
