BREAK!! RPG: A Miyazaki-Inspired Journey Needs Brave Hearts

If I could pick all of the tags in here, I would, and that says a lot about Dexter's skill and talent at GMing. He masterfully wove in a tutorial of a new system, a great story, memorable and lovable NPCs (I got attached to a slime and a skeleton bad guy for crying out loud), and a space for all of the players to be comfortable and creative all into a single one-shot session. All of the stuff leading up to the session was also wonderful. Dexter showed a lot of enthusiasm and supported us at every turn, from explaining the system to helping us build our characters to encouraging us whenever we crafted lore about our backstory or connection. I think if I absolutely had to pick a single favourite thing about the experience I would say it was how he was as into the world, the characters, and the story as all of us players were. Whenever one of us would do something we thought would be fun, be it throwing out a one-liner or doing a creative attack or earnestly engaging with the story, Dexter reacted with the same or even greater level of enthusiasm and had fun right along with us. The environment also felt safe and welcoming, which is very important to me as a femme-presenting queer person playing with strangers for the first time. There was not a single moment in the whole experience where I wasn't having a blast.

If you're looking for a kind, engaging, wonderful DM then don't look further. Dexter was super accommodating even though we were scrambling to learn a new system, he taught it to us in such an easy-to-understand way while also somehow simultaneously putting on a one shot, mind you, that also made us tear up and burst out with laughter. His biggest strength was tailoring the game for us and just putting our good time as the tip top priority. I could not recommend a better GM! His session showed me joys of a TTRPG that I have not seen in a very long time :D

Very friendly, and engages with player’s interests to build a wonderful and fun story/game!

Great GM! I wish I could choose more than three tags to describe the GM. We played a three-session campaign that was in a horror/thriller setting. The GM did a great job of keeping it moving at a good pace but also allowed space for players to do creative things with their characters. Is patient with players and helps them when needed when confused or stuck. Did a great job tying everyone's characters' goals together which gave a satisfying end that also worked with the setting and goal of the campaign. Since it was a horror setting the GM checked in with everyone and gave warnings before bringing up subjects that might trigger anyone. Great GM to play with, 10/10 would play again and recommend others who are interested or like playing DnD/other ttrpgs.

Fantastic music and tone, tons of room for creativity, SUPER beginner friendly. Dex helped me learn Shadowdark and even sat down 1 on 1 to help me make my character and understand the mechanics.

he always make sure we feel safe with topics or situations that may occur in game and is willing to change anything that may make someone uncomfortable. Additionally he is great at descriptors, adding visual aids, and loves a good character voice !
