Darren provided an amazing session with a tense but fun one-shot; with a balance between roleplay and combat. The combat was challenging, but not unfairly so, and allowed for the party to naturally develop creative solutions throughout. The story had a great hook that truly made you want to learn more and take your time to strategize as opposed to running in blind. Certainly look forward to sitting at Darren's table again soon when I have another opportunity.

I had an absolute blast playing this game! The DM’s use of a camera and hand-drawn maps made it feel like we were actually at the table in person, which really enhanced the immersion. This wasn’t just a static one-shot—it was a true choose-your-own-adventure, where our choices genuinely shaped the story. Every decision felt meaningful, and the mystery kept us engaged from start to finish. The pacing was great, the combat was exciting, and the roleplaying opportunities made the world feel alive and reactive. Whether it was unraveling the ship’s mystery, making tough calls, or navigating unexpected twists, it always felt like we were in control of our fate. 🔥 Highly recommend this DM to anyone looking for an immersive and well-run game! Would 100% play again!

THE DM YOU WANT. Patient, considerate, creative. First game with Darren and I've been playing for 35+ years off and on and we're definitely creating a first-rate adventure. Beginner or Level 20, you won't go wrong.
