Ghost is an excellent all-around DM. He is extremely knowledgable and well-prepared. After only one session I'm left with the feeling that the "simpler" lower-level content is part of a larger tapestry of an engrossing campaign, wit powerful forces at play whose intentions we are only just beginning to unravel. -------------------- At level 5, the campaign has evolved to reveal its interwoven nature. There are impactful decisions made by players every session, having long-range impact on the character and the story. Ghost continues to be a great DM, as well as providing interesting innovative mechanics such as for defensive sieges. I look forward to playing in this campaign up to level 20+. --------------------- I'm enjoying Ghost as a DM more and more as the campaing progresses. He delves into intricate individualized roleplay as desired by players. He's an excellent artist, which shows in his game materials, especially maps and portraits of NPCs. The campaign progression and story line is interesting and well-paced. Though the campaign features dragons, he manages to surprise us with dragon encounters. Never a dull moment.

It's unfortunate that you can only tag three items. Ghost should get many more. I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons since 1979 and I've been a DM myself for nearly that entire time. Getting a chance to play in a game always makes me both happy and trepidatious. Ghost caters exclusively to the happy part. He's an excellent storyteller and does a fantastic job of making sure that each player gets a chance to shine not only during each individual game session, but by creating side quests and between-game scenarios on Discord tailored to the characters (should you wish to) for pure role-play satisfaction. Opportunities abound to be imaginative with your character both during creation and game play, but don't expect to take advantage of it and unbalance the game as Ghost is fair, choosing balance over bravado. If you're looking for a solidly built, immersive world, good character development, excellent roleplaying opportunities, and the perfect balance of combat/puzzle/skill/exploring in your adventuring, Ghost is an truly solid choice of DM.

Ghost does a fantastic job of setting up a detailed world for players to explore and live in. I really appreciated the detailed and well-organized Discord server with information about the setting (incredibly helpful for character building) and the way he works to weave character backstories into the game! If you're looking for character and roleplay-focused play, you should absolutely check out one of Ghost's games.

Ghost is incredible at creating vibrant, immersive worlds to play in. He brings an incredible amount of lore into his games and works hard to interweave what he's already built with what the players/characters want to do. The amount of effort he puts in to each game is fully on display with music, artwork, and an environment populated with a multitude of characters/shops/factions to interact with. He is also extremely rewarding towards player creativity, with a full system of 'extra credit' (gold, etc) for side roleplay, character art, playlists, and other add-ons that encourage players to really dig into their characters.

Beginner-friendly. Story and roleplay had a smooth pace and combat didn't get dragged on. Also loved the maps provided.

This GM (Ghost) is super skilled and funny. He was extremely welcoming and helpful to me as a new player. If you want an amazing story, great acting, and just hilarity in general, while still leaving plenty of options for RP and character focus, he's your best bet. In case you are worried about any sort of conflict with other players. Ghost has a tendency to see any potential problems ahead of time, and will help to resolve it while making sure everyone wins. Ghost is extremely passionate about D&D and you can tell. Give him a shot, you won't regret it.

Additional details

How to prepare

A basic understanding of D&D 5e and your character's abilities will help make games run smoothly, of course I’m always willing to help players that are still learning how to play. Beyond that, players will only need to prepare the following: 🔹 Good quality microphone 🔹 Free accounts for both Roll20.net and Discord.com 🔹 A mindset to support your fellow partymates and work together

What I provide

My games will be consistent. Barring illnesses or emergencies, this will be a game that is guaranteed to run every week, on time, every time. In this campaign, you can expect an excellently written adventure that ties in your character's personal backstory, premium quality maps and artwork, a well organized Discord server, a complete understanding of the system, an easily understandable set of House Rules, improvisational skills, and voice acting for NPCs. I aim for quality above all else, ensuring thorough knowledge of the system and virtual tabletop, a fully prepared campaign that I have read and studied from start to finish (no sight reading), and a friendly and supportive, professional attitude that knows how to balance positivity without being patronizing towards my players.

Gameplay details

We will have a session zero using the Lines and Veils system to identify what topics to avoid. After games, we'll take a few minutes to go over the game and discuss what we enjoyed and what could have been improved on. Short breaks will be called for mid-session to allow everyone time to pause and attend to personal matters. I aim to provide a safe, inclusive environment. No behavior or language that makes other players feel unwelcome, unsafe, or unable to participate in the game will be tolerated. My games are relatively lighthearted, but sensitive topics may occasionally be mentioned as part of the background to the adventure. D&D is a combat heavy game, so expect a level of violence and gore, but nothing too graphic.

How will character creation work

Players may participate in a Session 0 for character generation, where I can help them make their characters or give suggestions on how to write their backstories. Characters and the game will both be run using the D&D 5e 2014 ruleset, and will be made with Point Buy or Standard Array. Character sheets will be created and hosted on Roll20. This allows me to assist with any potential troubleshooting. I can easily teach how to use and create characters for newcomers to the VTT. Most official resources canon to the Forgotten Realms will be available for character creation (homebrew available upon review), and characters also begin with a Lvl 1 "half feat", alongside their choice of various bonuses tailor made for my campaign. The use of Tasha's Custom Origins and the book Monsters of the Multiverse will not be featured.
