Paul is a great GM. I'm new to D&D and he excels at keeping me up to speed and in the loop. He knows all the rules and allows for creativity at the table, a great communicator. Great voices and a good story teller. Honestly if you are searching for a game you can't go wrong with Paul, new or experienced players alike.

I am in two campaigns as of this review: one with Paul and a second with another DM on this platform. I enjoy both DMs for different reasons. Paul takes a holistic view of playing D&D where he balances role play and combat. He allows players to develop their characters but also keeps the story line moving along. He is also a great story teller so getting immersed in the world he's built is like putting on a comfy pair of slippers.

Coming in as a brand new player i was nervous but Paul was very welcoming and easy to work with and helped me get set up. He is very knowledgeable and always willing to answer any question i have. He also does an amazing job with Voices that help keep emersion and every new character i meet i wonder what they will sound like.

Paul is the type of DM that manages to get an emotional response from you through his roleplay and story-telling, I highly recommend him for both seasoned and newer players.

Inclusive and welcoming for beginners, too; it’s really a relaxed atmosphere, and it was great playing together.
Tarley

Was only part of the campaign for a couple of sessions but Paul's a great DM. Inclusive, encouraging and I really loved his NPC acting. I had to leave the game as my circumstances changed but would defo look him up when I'm in a position to play again.
Additional details
How to prepare
- Make a free roll20 account (link for game will be sent prior to session) - Make a free Discord account ( link for server will be sent prior to session, game info will be posted there) - Microphone required (always a good idea to test the connection through the settings in discord prior to the game, we will use push to talk to avoid talking over one another in game and eliminate possible background noise) -A solid internet connection (will make your gaming experience more enjoyable) - A webcam is suggested but not a requirement. ( sometimes its hard to read the room as a GM if we cant see facial expression/ social cues and body language.)
What I provide
I own the module on my Pro Roll20 account, it comes with beautifully illustrated color maps, tokens, dynamic lighting, handouts and more! (We will use in game assets for rolling dice using the 5e charactermancer) Supplemental content I also provide through Roll 20 compendium sharing: - Players handbook - Monster Manual - Mordekainen's Tome of Foes - Tome of Beasts (kobold press) - Volo's Guide to Monsters - Xanathars Guide to Everything - Tasha's Cauldron of Everything - Eberron- Rising From The Last War - Explorers Guide To Wildemount - Lost Mine of Phandelver - Tomb of Annihilation -Call of The Netherdeep - Bigbys presents: Glory of Giants - Dungeon tiles, tactical maps (Reincarnated) as well as many Gabriel Pickard quick encounter and town/city/hamlet maps, interactive maps - Spell templates, animated spell templates, animated weather effects, Asset packs for dungeon dressings. - Tokens galore for varied character and monster art. - Cze and Peku map collection (Used mostly in my home brew campaign, they are truly stunning maps) - Tom Cartos map collection ( varied and endlessly useful maps, also mostly used in homebrew) -Gabriel pickard maps (many varied maps of the wilds and towns, great for random encounters)
Gameplay details
This adventure offers a well-rounded experience with heavy roleplaying, challenging combat, and exploration. You will traverse the sword coast, the depths of hell, unravel long-forgotten secrets, and thwart the plans of powerful enemies. The choices you make will have a real impact on the fate of The Sword Coast. However, be warned: Decent into Avernus has adult themes. You'll face war, slavers, otherworldly forces and widespread violence. (Some content in this campaign may be uncomfortable for some players, but are negotiable. The most important thing for me at my table is that the players have fun and get to cooperatively build a story together that they will remember fondly. Still I feel its good to list some content aspects upfront so a session 0 will when we discuss lines and veils etc. Please don't ever hesitate to send me a private message, a whisper in chat etc. or speak with me in private before or after the game if you would like to keep things discretionary) We will use lines and veils to establish boundaries in session 0 Stars and wishes will be done occasionally to help me better steer toward your personal likes and dislikes as players! Rated: R - A note on play style I typically voice NPC's and love to roleplay, no matter what I will be doing my best at that because its what I enjoy. I prefer if you do too, but its not a requirement! My expectations for players is to treat everyone including myself with the same respect they are given and to maintain general decorum and immersion at the virtual "table".

How will character creation work
Characters will be created at lvl 1 in a "session 0" on roll 20 VTT or D&D Beyond using discord for voice & video. There will also be a group campaign on D&D Beyond to view other characters However, you may be restricted to the content I have available on roll20 shared compendium (which is most of the published books) or the content that you purchase yourself or is shared by the other players on D&D Beyond. Session 0 is essential to establish a cohesive group, backstory, character ties etc. (point buy or standard array). You may also use D&D Beyond and link to roll20 using the beyond 20 extension app.
