I've been playing in Ted's Dragonlance campaign for a few months now, and it has been one of the best campaigns I've played in during my 5 years of playing D&D. One of the most important things in TTRPGs is pacing, and it's often difficult for a game master to find a good balance between going too fast and going too slow, especially online. However, every session I've played with Ted has had optimal pacing, and I always feel that I have enough time to roleplay and explore while never feeling like things are dragging on or bogged down. Ted also demonstrates an impressive level of system mastery for fifth edition, and is good at making quick rulings for creative things players do that aren't covered by the rules, which always feel balanced and fair. Additionally, his comfort with the Dragonlance setting is reflected in a campaign and world that feels truly immersive and alive.

Ted's an amazing dm not just because of how good of story teller he is but because of how he encourages creativity so long as you have a good justification for what you wanna do, celebrates he party's wins with us and is super humble overall.

Ted has been an excellent storyteller and fully utilizes battle maps to their maximum capacity. He allows characters to explore the space and ensures that everyone is getting an opportunity to participate in the story. He also encourages creativity and fun!

I've been playing with Ted for the past couple of months, and it has been so much fun! When it comes to professional DMs, Ted is the gold standard. He is always prepared, and I appreciate his open communication with players during gameplay and between sessions. Ted has many loyal players, and I believe I have become one myself! Highly recommended!

Ted is an incredibly talented DM that made me immediately feel welcome and relaxed from the very first session. He is exceptionally knowledgeable of the DnD 5e rules and he is very, very good at pacing the story beats. I held off writing a review until I'd had a number of sessions with Ted as a DM, so I'm confident in saying he has a really consistently high skill level and quality of game. He has a way of crafting the dungeon fights so they feel 'meaty' with serious outcomes (something I absolutely enjoy, and something that Ted has taken on board and customized for our current group). Ted is a wonderfully likeable person all around and I'm definitely coming back for more.

Ah, a very very good DM. Ted sets the mood, lets the players play it out, reads the room, and moves the action forward. I'm in my first game with Ted along four players who have been with him a while, and it has been a joy to play with them all.

Additional details

How to prepare

All players need to have a working mic and a stable internet connection. Webcam is not necessary but always appreciated (it's nice to see the faces of the people you're talking to). Everyone should have a basic understanding of the rules, of course they will be assisted if they don't remember something. Roll20 as well as Discord account are necessary. Finally, players will need a Syrinscape Online account where I will be streaming music and ambience sounds from.

What I provide

I have a Pro account on Roll20, as well as all core rulebooks that I can share with my players. I am very proficient with scripts and macros on Roll20 that speed up combat a ton. Music and ambience will be streamed from Syrinscape Online Player.

Gameplay details

On Session 0 we will discuss the rulings we will follow ), introduce ourselves, decide on the party composition and go over the way the campaign works. We will roll for stats, but everyone will use the array we roll. If the rolls are bad we will go with point-buy/standard array for all. We will use the "X, N and O" cards on Roll20. Players can expect a fast paced and rules light gaming experience. This specific campaign is highly comedic at times.

How will character creation work

Players will start from level 5 and progress to level 20 in the span of this campaign. Each player should have a general idea of what character they'd like to play and then we will make the concept a reality together. Characters will be created at Session 0. We will be following the new 2024 rules. Players are highly encouraged to pick a new subclass from the newest edition.
