The grandeur and majesty of Waterdeep, unrivaled in the North will - without exception - exceed your every expectation. Any who inquire will be generously compensated for their time, and a handsome reward will be given to any and all who complete my quest.

I've been playing TTRPGs since 3rd edition, and Rebecca's campaign has absolutely been one of the most consistent and consistently fun games I've ever been in. Rebecca maintains a really friendly, inclusive space. Her table is always hysterical, the games run smoothly, and she's willing to roll with her party (even when we're absolutely insane). My only complaint is that I'm not the biggest fan of Fantasy Grounds, which is Rebecca's VTT of choice at the time of writing. Based on my rolls over the course of this campaign, I'm pretty sure the enmity is mutual. In short - if you're comfortable working with Fantasy Grounds, I don't think you could find a better DM than Rebecca!

DM Rebecca is so good that Startplaying doesn't have enough tags to properly portray her awesomeness. #Promptness and follows schedule 5 stars #Knows the platform 5 stars #Knows the game system rules 4.5 stars #Availability and communication outside game 5 stars DM Rebecca adds so much to published adventures, so well and so seemlessly, that I don't know what is in the published adventure and what isn't. I recommend her for both new players and players who might already be familiar with the specific adventure.

I've played with DM Rebecca for quite a while now and would definitely recommend her games! She's extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and she's great at dealing with whatever whacky shenanigans her players throw at her.

Rebecca has a great voice and is very knowledgeable. She seems to make every battle a nail biter with players on the brink of death. I highly recommend joining one of her games.

As a seasoned player, I've had the pleasure of embarking on many Dungeons & Dragons adventures, I can affirm that DM Rebecca's storytelling is outstanding. Each session demonstrates her skill in creating complex stories that perfectly integrate a clear structure with spontaneous elements. What really distinguishes her, however, is her infectious enthusiasm and sense of fun. To sum up, DM Rebecca represents all the traits of a remarkable DM: engaging, supportive, inclusive, well-informed, and above all, tremendously enjoyable. For a memorable gaming adventure, look no further!
