The Vermillion Isles: Nautical/Pirate Campaign–Beginners Welcome

Having a blast on his table. Always great to have a DM that knows how to control a table. Allows room for RP scenarios and combat is always a nail biter. Appreciate ya Johnny!

Johnny was my first proper foray into the world of D&D and I feel blessed to have been in the presence of a.....Master is not enough to describe the man but for now it will have to do. The Vermilion Isles feels like stepping into a Fantasy Novel one might have found in their School Library. A swashbuckling escapade that feels as though it moves and behaves separate from how you interact with it. All that feels natural with an under current of dedication, blood, sweat, and hopefully not too many tears. Every inch of the world feels like it could swallow you whole if you linger in awe for too long. Johnny goes to great lengths to ensure that you have as much understanding as you need to immerse yourself. He trusts you with full player autonomy and doesn't mind shifting the story for the sake of narrative or even humor. If you are willing to be open and honest with your characters desires and wants, he'll give you the tools to flesh them out. Because to him, your story matters. The groups story matters. I played with my group for almost a Yr and the "Unbreakable Six (7)" will always have a special place in my heart. Their trials and tribulations embedding themselves somewhere in me. If you have the chance, take some Dramamine and step onto the Gangplank that is the Vermilion Isles. You will not regret it.

100% best DM I've ever had. Very excepting to time changes and character changes. He's supper fun during combat and makes the game very enjoyable.

JonnyDM is THE best DM on here—no question! *Full transparency, he is the only paid DM we have used, but the point remains true =). We were all a little worried about paying for a DM, but could not be happier with our experience and would honestly pay more for everything he provides (please don't up our price though lol). If you're looking for a unique DnD game that's completely focused on creating the best experience for you, the player, then join one of Jonny's games. Our group of 5 ranges from complete novice to an experienced DM - and we have an absolute blast every session. Jonny has crafted an entire world for us to explore and discover new, creative ways to play. The depth and detail with which he's developed this world is truly astonishing. From his homebrewed mechanics to the expansive pantheon and lore of his world - Jonny demonstrates his deep understanding of DnD and what the DnD experience is SUPPOSED to be. Not to mention the great characters and voices he's got DOWN lol. So good! If you're a pain in the 4$$ like me who likes to push the limits sometimes, then Jonny’s rule of cool approach lets you do exactly that. Want to pull off something totally wild? He’s all for it, as long as it doesn't break the game and keeps things fun. He somehow manages to strike the perfect balance between letting you do crazy stuff and keeping the game running smoothly. It’s not an easy line to walk, but he nails it. Outside the game, Jonny is incredibly responsive and always available to chat, answer questions, or help with character building. He puts in so much effort behind the scenes that you can tell this is truly his passion. The prep work he does before every session is next-level, and the world he’s built could easily be published as an official sourcebook. I'd go on, but I don't want to spoil any of the surprises he's got in-store. TLDR: JonnyDM is absolutely amazing and so is his world and game sessions. If you're new to the game, he'll bring you along quickly and make sure you're having a great time. Experienced player? He'll definitely be able to challenge you while allowing you to be creative and push your own boundaries. Are you a DM? Then come check out an expertly crafted world and how to run an amazing game for your players. Do yourself a favor and check out JonnyDM! PS: I wasn't even paid for all this. He's really that good! *Somehow casts Suggestion at 9th level: "JonnyDM wants to give me 17 free sessions!"* ;)

What can be said about Jonny that has not been said about the great story tellers of time. His stories are masterfully crafted with passion and purpose. He has prepared his homebrew world to have real history and real opportunities. As a DM he is kind, thoughtful, cares that his players are having fun. He allows players to hold the reigns of their own PC instead of funneling them into a direction. I love the freedom I have to tell my PC's story. He has created an inclusive and positive campaign for our group, one that didn't know each other to start, but now is tightknit and loves playing every week. We wouldn't have that without a good DM.

John John John… what to say? He’s like the best dude. Always in a good mood. Super expressive, gives a solid pace to his games. It’s never boring! And he has an extensive world he created with so many things to discover and explore. So, John for prime minister!! (if you’re Canadian like me) I honestly recommend John
