Rime of the Frostmaiden - A Horrific Reimagining

This is my first time playing a TTRPG, and having Daniel as my DM has been such a pleasure. He's understanding if I miss a session or if I make mistakes. He's so fun to play with. My favorite part was after a big fight, he decided to bring out a dragon. It scared me but brought a big smile to my face.

Daniel is truly a gift and a blessing as a DM. He is very good at the little mechanics details and the nitty-gritty of designing worlds and systems. But he's also amazing at creating a community among players and reading each player's needs in any given game. He can and will work with people of all ages and experiences, focusing on providing a tailored experience for everyone from grade-school beginners to mature experienced players. I've never met a more focused, organized DM or played in more immersive, well-prepared games! (Also, I was allowed to play as an anthropomorphic gecko demon with a gun, so that was a highlight.)

I had the pleasure of experiencing a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with Daniel, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience. The first session showed that he has a natural talent for storytelling and creativity. Each adventure was intricately crafted, filled with rich world-building, engaging NPCs, and unexpected plot twists that kept us all on our toes. What truly sets Daniel apart, though, is his remarkable ability to balance the game and maintain fairness. Whether it was handling complex character actions or making calls on rules, he consistently ensured that everyone had a fair shot, creating an inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere for all players. He also excels at making house rules that make sense and enhance the gameplay experience, always keeping the game flowing smoothly without feeling arbitrary. But, perhaps the most impressive aspect of his GM style is his helpfulness. He has a knack for guiding new players without overwhelming them, and for encouraging experienced players to stretch their creativity while still respecting the boundaries of the game. His patience, clarity, and enthusiasm make every session a joy to be a part of. If you're looking for a Dungeon Master who combines creativity, fairness, and an intuitive understanding of the game’s mechanics, look no further than Daniel. It’s clear he pours his heart into every game, and it shows in the incredible sessions he runs. Highly recommend!

Daniel has a real talent for allowing character concepts to be playable character construction within the ruleset in a way that keeps game balance for everyone. He's also very good at tying episodic campaigns into the overall epic cycle of the game lore in a way that always gives your adventure a sense of scale and place.

I can say with confidence that, with over 2 years of games I've participated in with Daniel, that he is easily one of the best GMs I've known. No matter the combat or scenario, he always makes sure that every moment is engaging and fun, while also making sure everyone understands the system. Anyone's ideas for situations, no matter how grand, are always considered. He does his absolute best in making it apply to the game however possible. The results are sessions that always lead to surprises, and it truly impresses me how much I feel involved in the games. Of course, he's never afraid to make things difficult either, such as adjusting difficulty should the party want to be challenged, as well as being very open to players' input to adjust anything in game balance. Overall, he's very attentive, and I appreciate the lengths he goes to ensure that any game will allow anyone to play their ultimate power fantasy. Whether it's unleashing hordes of horrors because the past few combats felt "too quick", or allowing the group's warrior to set their swords on fire and "beyblade" through a boss, any games hosted by him are truly some of the most memorable.

Daniel is a phenomenal GM dedicated to ensuring players have fun and get to explore unique and interesting ways to play. If you enjoy trying crazy ideas or character concepts, Daniel's really great at helping you explore those. He's good at helping new players understand things and letting experienced players unleash their potential.
