Tony is genuinely the best GM I have ever had the pleasure to cross paths with. He is incredibly creative and handled my whacky game play in the most inventive and fun way. Honestly the perfect mix of roleplay and battles.

I have now tried to join in two of this GM's games--in the first, he had turned off notifications 2 1/2 hours before game time and so never even saw my attempt to join. In the second, he decided to push the starting time back an hour without updating it in StartPlaying. Not a good track record. Move on.

Tenquis has been playing for decades and really knows the rules. A great DM if you are a beginning or intermediate player looking for help getting used to the system. He has a number of house rules that are well designed and make a lot of sense. Good at bringing all the players into the action, good at roleplaying NPCs. Highly recommended.

Really good at narrating and setting the mood. Top notch immersion right there. I had a lot of fun and highly recommend him.

He was very patient with me as I was learning about 2024 rules and FoundryVTT.

Tenquis ran such a fun one shot and was super flexible and adaptable to the different experience levels of the players. If you don’t know how to use the virtual tabletop he uses, he spends time walking the party through it. He also was great about reminding players about some of their abilities throughout combat, which made the game super accessible. Highly recommend joining a game with him!

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a microphone, and a camera is preferred. I will provide a player's guide to get you comfortable with the campaign world, any homebrew rules, and options that are available based on the campaign setting.
What I provide
I will provide a server, lots of images and help finding the right illustration. I will work with you on your backstory and how it fits into the campaign world. We will also use that to start creating your personal storyline that compliments the campaign story.
Gameplay details
I use Foundry VTT to run all of my games. I help in character creation as much as possible, and am always available to chat if anyone has any questions or concerns. Anyone comfortable on camera is encouraged to turn that on, as I will be using it to make eye contact, describe scenarios and even use a few physical props.

How will character creation work
Character creation will occur after a short chat through a dnd beyond link that I will provide at the start. Once created, we will import the characters, do a little fine tuning and get ready to play. If you have a concept in mind, you are welcome to make that before we get started. Characters will be created using the 2024 ruleset as well as anything that came before, and anything official from WOTC is permitted. If your background doesn't come from the PHB, I will work with you to make it suitable for the new rules. I have created 13 new backgrounds and a specialized origin feat to go with each of them and players are encouraged to join one of the guilds that these represent.
