It should be, after all what could possibly go wrong? Starting at 1st level you will get to see your character grow to its full potential in this campaign ''oh if they survive''. A fantastic pre made adventure to get new players up and running, a game full of intrigue plots and many side quests to keep you on your toes. A great adventure to learn the rules.

Bo does such a wonderfully patient job of explaining every little thing I needed help with and asked about! Thank you for your time, Bo!

Bo is an absolute weapon of a GM, always down for whatever as long as it’s within some sort of sense XD. On a serious note though seriously one of the best GM’s I’ve played under so far and always down for the rule of cool. He tries to accomodate everyone as best as possible and has a very vast and extensive knowledge of the game we all love. Make sure to check him out 100%!

Bo had been my DM for about 6 months now, I can vouch for the professionalism and punctuation. I love how he immerses your back story into the story, the way he preps every game not only for battle but intrigue as well. As a player who has a lot of love for the game an community that comes with it I strongly urge you to give him a shot. P.S We've never missed a single game...

DM Bo has been fantastic. Playing play-by-post, the game has been easy to follow and keep up with. Extra effort such as the excellent use of maps makes it easy to return the game and understand the situation during combat. The organization of his Discord, including a channel dedicated to each character where Bo is always willing to interact with the players, resolve the outcome of dice rolls, etc., has been great. I also enjoy rolling right off of my DnD Beyond character sheet, keeping things very simple in that area. Unlike other DM's I've had where they are just going through the motions of a module as a day job, Bo has put a lot of effort into extra role play with the PC's to help realize each player character idea, backstory, personality, etc. and keep the game unique and fun. I look forward to rolling up my second character with Bo and sticking around in his games for a long time. Thanks DM!

Super fun! Great voices, great pacing. Very friendly, organized and prepared. Talked us through the tech like a pro! Even put up with all our Role Playing shenanigans. Will definitely have him host us again!

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a Discord account and working microphone webcam is optional. Also access to Owlbear Rodeo a free service. An account the free one is fine with D&D Beyond. Then just grab some snacks and settle down to go on an exciting adventure.

What I provide

I will bring the story to life for you. You only need to sit back relax and your off on an adventure. I use the Virtual table top ‘VTT’ Owlbear Rodeo which will have all of the maps for you to play along on as well as custom made tokens for your characters. I use D&D Beyond for character creation and character sheets this is linked to my Discord server so you can check spells and action details also to see dice rolls live in the game. Oh and 'Don't forget your snacks.'

Gameplay details

Players can expect an action packed game with use of Owlbear Rodeo as a visual tool to assist combat and dungeon mapping. The game is a live game played on Discord and uses Owlbear Rodeo for VTT with D&D Beyond for character sheets lined to the Discord server.
