A good storyteller and fair to everyone. Does a good job explaining things and making sure everyone understands and is fair to one another.

I came into this on a whim after deciding I wanted to try it out. I didn’t have any real true idea what to expect but our fearless leader made the experience so much fun. He laughs with us, encourages us, and made us all feel comfortable to get involved! I hope I can play a campaign with him and my fellow adventurers soon!

Matt is an amazing DM. Calm and patient with beginners, explained everything from character creation to combat, fostered a fun and creative environment. His experience, knowledge, and love of the game shine through. Highly recommend.

It was my first time doing a D&D Campaigns and I had an amazing experience with Wartornknight! Very calm and understanding and I would definitely love to go on another adventure with him!

This was my friend and mines very first time playing! Matt was incredibly patient and a wonderful leader. I couldn't ask for a better introduction to DnD. Definitely recommend for beginners.

Additional details

How to prepare

Webcam is encouraged, but not necessary. I will have mine on or off upon request. Microphone is necessary. I use DnD Beyond which you may access if you have an account (subscription not necessary). Everything else I use is free or usually doesn't need an account. Being familiar with the rules is appreciated, but I am very new player friendly, so no worries if you don't know jump mechanics!

What I provide

I will make a DnD Beyond campaign for people to make characters, though if you wish to use another character creation tool, you are more than welcome so long as you can share it with me before play. I mostly use theater of the mind for encounters, but I also use Owlbear rodeo for a Virtual Tabletop for combat when necessary (like if it's a very tactical encounter as opposed to a simple face to face skirmish). Character voices are encouraged, but not necessary! I often use character voices for NPCs, but I will refrain upon request. I try to stick to rules as written, but I'm a sucker for creativity and will often rule of cool something rather than say no. All in all, I react to what my players put into the game. If you are passionate and engaged in the campaign, I will deliver that right back to you, and I will do what I can to encourage that level of engagement.

Gameplay details

An RPG consent form will be given to players before session 0 so I can go over any hardlined topics with the party anonymously. Session 0 will contain a discussion about what everyone expects out of the game and how we will accomplish those goals successfully. There will be time after allotted for debriefing and discussion if anyone needs to talk about the events of the game. Before, during, and after sessions, I will always be available for private messages and discussions so everyone can have a safe and fun session.

How will character creation work

You may make your characters before we start, or we can make them together during session 0. Characters will begin play at 1st level using printed WotC material. I have some unlocked on DnD Beyond, and will enable content sharing within the campaign. Stats will be Standard Array for this, it won't be fair if someone rolls three 18s and wipes the playing field.
