Blu is an incredible GM! Their immersive and engaging style (the storytelling, the voices, the songs!) makes every session feel fun, intriguing, and over far too quickly—I’m always excited to see what happens next. As a beginner, I often find myself confused, but Blu’s patience and deep understanding of the system make it easy to learn and stay on track for me. I couldn’t be happier to have chosen them for my first-ever DnD experience!

Wonderful, kind and considered DM. BluKu has the ability to help new players be an equal part of the RP/action giving them time enough to be confident in their actions with our slowing the pace for experiences gamers. I can't say enough nice things about him to be honest, our campaign has got a bit silly sometimes and he has just let it flow as we laugh ourselves into stupidity but still managed to get us on track. Great stuff Blu, keep it up!

Playing my first campaign and t Eric has made it the most enjoyable experience I could've hoped for! Challenging fights, creative characters and shenanigans aplenty! If you're new and looking to dive into D&D then this is the place to be!

Bluku gets into it! This DM is a lot of fun, flexible, and welcoming of newcomers. Storytelling and keeping the adventure exciting are some of Bluku's strengths. I feel fortunate to have picked Bluku as a DM.

After three sessions, I feel comfortable saying that Blu is inclusive, a good story teller, and great for beginners. Knows the rules but also allows for the rule of cool. I"m looking forward to playing through the rest of this campaign with Blu and the rest of the party.

Great GM, it's my first time playing D&D, and Bluku are very nice and welcoming to a noobie, any questions I have are answered quickly and kindly. The story telling and voices are great

How to prepare
A discord account for communication A roll20 account for combat maps A D&D Beyond account for character creation Beyond 20 (a chrome extension that lets D&D Beyond and Roll20 collaborate) Google Chrome web browser A microphone for voice communication Highly recommend a computer or tablet. Roll20 works on phones, but screen size is a deterrent. These sites and plugins do work firefox, but I will not be able to help if tech problems arise.
What I provide
An unforgettable adventure though space as well as all the materials needed to create a character and join the adventure. Years of experience and a natural talent for storytelling. Various quirky NPCs with their own ideals, flaws, and voices. I'm not afraid to throw myself into character and forget the real world exists. While I do run some intensely challenging combats and gritty, tough to choose situation. I also know that we're all here to have fun. You can expect a comfortable mix of silly times with silly characters, as well as edge-of-seat while-knuckle moments. Ending every session with a cliffhanger to keep suspense and making sure there's (almost) always a way to get back to safety when the time comes.
Gameplay details
We will have a group Session 0 to go over Content Warning and Safety Tools used as well as table rules, character creation, and campaign overview before session 1. Any newcomers after Session 1 will have a one on one Session 0 before joining the game to ensure table compatibility as well as understanding of the content and safety tools. I like to run a fun, fast paced game focused on character actions decisions. While I'm a big believer in letting characters make their own mistakes, will ask "are you sure you want to do that?" if you're unknowingly about to stick your head into an Orb of Annihilation. I have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, sexual harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and any other prejudicial behavior. Those who can't abide by these standards will be asked to leave with no refund.
