Dave is simply a wonderful DM, there is no doubt his focus is on ensuring the group has a rewarding experience. We are a group of adults and their children and as other can attest this mix can often be a challenge. Dave is teacher in the real world and this shows in his ability to indulge the kids while ensuring the adults are still engaged and challenged. He makes it fun for everyone and there is no doubt in my mind he is at the center of why we are so tight and have retain our core group for so long. He offers flexibility and fairness and will always ensure their are opportunities for roleplaying and combat (again looking at the desire of the group). His knowledge of the game is strong, but even when we find a crack in his knowledge he is quick to find a reasonable solution. So I would highly recommend Dave and hope others are able to enjoy his campaigns as much as we have.

Extremely good with younger/inexperienced players.

He was incredibly communicative, made himself available to answer questions leading up to the session, and was beyond patient with a newbie like me, diving into a *very* complicated class for my first time ever playing the system. It was one of the most welcoming experiences I've ever had in roleplaying, hands down.

Dave knock it out of the park last night so I'll highlight the really great parts. I loved how much effort he clearly put into it from just keeping communication up to date via email, taking time to sit one on one to set up characters and answer questions before hand and teach the game as we played. Clearly a vast knowledge of the world helped us feel immersed, as well as his personality and fellow players making it comfortable to get into character. Kept it fun and enjoyable the whole time, even just chatting about ourselves really put nerves of playing with complete strangers to bed. To top it off nothing ( that was within reason) was off the table to try even as we took the game in an unexpected direction a few times as players. Definitely considering making this a monthly thing if possible! And assuming Dave you read this thanks again for a fun night!

Dave (and Dan) do an excellent job coordinating various sized groups and making sure everyone has the opportunity to have fun and feel included in the game. He is very patient and does a wonderful job teaching new players the mechanics and yet leaving the choice open to them on how to move forward. He is also accommodating with D&D veterans on play style and encouraging role play. He does a great job balancing the various aspects of the game and making the whole experience enjoyable for everyone

I really enjoy playing with Dave. He makes sure everyone feels welcome and has fun. He's also very good at answering questions and explaining things along with incorporating players feedback.
