Dungeon of the Red Mage

He is super prepared, sends out rules and info weeks in advance. Is helpful with new people using Roll20. Seems to be fun, engaging and allows lots of chat and other things to help the members feel more like a team/family. I look forward to the coming weeks, months and possible year of exploration, adventure and story.

Great story teller and loves player creativity. Really good at explaining the rules and how to use roll20.

Loved the background music, and the focus on keeping momentum through the session. Thank you red!

Played a good number of games with this DM as a fellow party member and most recently played my first session with him at the helm, very knowledgeable and experienced and always ensuring everyone is having fun while making the experience more enjoyable and engaging, great sense of humour that’s always welcoming and encouraging for both hilarious out of pocket moments that your party will inevitably manifest and will let you have your best “rule of cool.” Moments and your chance to shine when your arc rolls around. Paired with his preparedness and pretty much a supernatural ability to instantly master a game once he has full understanding of rules and mechanics makes for a great first player experience. Current rules that are in place also made first time session a brand new experience that will make you feel more engaged and challenging in a good way. Overall a great DM to do a great campaign.

If you ever get the chance to play in one of Mac's game, take it. Mac didn’t just teach me how to play—he showed me how fun and creative the game can be. Mac is an elite DM because of his love for both the absurdly clever "cheese" strategies and the awe-inspiring moments where the "rule of cool" reigns supreme. He’s the type of DM who knows when to lean into the game’s structure and when to let imagination take the wheel. What really sets him apart, though, is how much he cares about the people at the table. Mac understands that a game requires rules to be played but you play games to build friendships. Whether you want a Lord of the Rings meets Mission Impossible heist mission, or a Game of Thrones trek beyond the Wall counting your food rations and praying your torch doesn't go out, Mac can craft stories that fit any challenge rating. "No party member left behind" isn’t just his DM style; it’s his life motto. Whether it’s weaving a clever NPC interaction to draw a quiet player into the story or creating a clutch moment that saves the party from disaster, Mac always finds a way to 'roll' everyone into the action.

Played a few different campaigns as a drop in guest a few times over the years. Mac is a great DM for new or experienced players, he is very adaptable to his groups and receptive to their wants and needs from a DM. If you want a more story rich campaign or one centred more around combat he not only provides but does so in a way that informs and emboldens his players. I've played with a few dungeon masters over the years but Mac is definitely one of my favourites.
