Shifting Sands - Desert Mysteries- [Homebrew] [Free session 0]

Alex is an outstanding Dungeon Master in our Dungeons & Dragons campaign. He fosters creativity among players, prepares meticulously for each session, and navigates challenges with grace. Playing under his guidance has been a delightful and immersive experience, elevating our adventures to new heights.

Alex is a wonderful dm that walks the line between friend and foe as excellently in game and makes you feel comfortable and welcome outside of game.

Alex is a great DM. He clearly knows the rules and knows the content he is game mastering for. He is also very flexible and rewards creative play. From adding music, to having good handouts, maps, and resources, he is very prepared at each session. Looking forward to many more sessions. Two Thumbs up!

Alex and I have played 5E together for almost 10 years both as a party mate first and later as a dungeon master. As a PC his Oath of Conquest Paladin had many layers of depth and creativity. The class is a difficult to role play and this particular oath has challenges, yet he peerlessly RP’d it. As good of a PC as he is Alex shines most brightly as a DM. Wielding the attributes he holds as a player with all the creativity afforded to him as a dungeon master. These abilities also help him enhance his players’ characters as he weaves them into his homebrew worlds. Some GMs can be extreme rule lawyers. Alex is not one of them. The Rule of Cool usually prevails at his table. For example he once let my level 11 away of Shadows monk run up a wall and Superplex a Giant Grick off it while using a bonus action to teleport my monk back to the ground safely. This turn was all pretty much 5E compliant and he uses Rule of Cool to make the rest happen. If this doesn’t persuade you just how fun of a DM Alex is you’ll just have to book him and find out yourself!

Alex was really welcoming and patient with me as I played D&D for the first time. He allowed me to be creative with my character so I could perform some cool feats while staying within the rules of the game. He's the perfect DM for new and experienced players alike!

Alex is a reliable DM that never no-shows, rarely had to reschedule and always communicated clearly. He's flexible with "rule of cool", bending the rules when it's a great idea or helps the plot, but stops short of breaking them. Very good about declaring things one time epic moments so it doesn't become a free-for-all. Very proficient with the rules, but humble enough to double check and admit when he doesn't know, then efficient in checking references and savvy enough to know when to just make a provisional ruling and move on. Uses Owlbear Rodeo effectively. Patient with new players. Good flow and pacing.
