Great DM! I look forward to every session! Very accommodating for the players!

First session tonight. Had a great time. Well prepared and brought everyone together so we could all learn about each other’s characters. Look forward to many more adventures.

Has his stuff together. Maps are prepared detailed and are ready to go. He enjoys the game knows a lot about it so the flow is good and he doesn't need stop to look at rules and such. Keeps himself organized and keeps track of the details in the campaign. He was the reason I got into DnD in the first place, played once with another DM and it fell apart quickly, constantly looking up rules, wasn't engaging and felt like we were just rolling dice. Alec brings the roleplaying to this game and in truth its sorely needed to make the game. Overall a good DM again has his stuff together

Alec is a dedicated DM. I am about 3 months into my second campaign with him, so I have seen how he is able to mold his story telling and gameplay experience to fit the players he is DMing for. He starts with a survey to see what kind of adventure his players want. it covers everything from difficulty level to battle/RP balance, to how serious/funny to setting and type of story they want to play. From there he crafts a custom adventure that explores different parts of his self made world. Each campaign I have done with him has taken place in a different part of his world and I am more than a little bummed that my first group fell apart and I never got to see the end of our story. He loves to work with players to help them craft their personal story and fold it into both his world and the adventure at large. Probably my favorite part is knowing that we are helping to shape his world and that other adventurers may pass through towns or area's that we have affected, or travel to places that our backstories helped shape and flesh out. He makes great Battle Maps with several layers so that he can reveal areas as your characters encounter them. it makes for a very immersive experience. Battle and campaign difficulty are determined in the survey i mentioned above, but know that Alec has no qualms about killing player characters if you make stupid or foolish choices. He will happily tell you about the Jar of dead player names he keeps that is a testament to all the player characters he has killed. I'm still a little bitter that Kiba ended up in the jar... but that said, Alec did a good job giving Kiba a good sendoff and helped me work his quest into my next players story line. My overall experience with Alec has been great and I highly recommend him.

Alec was the first DM I had ever played D&D with. He was an incredibly patient teacher and dungeonmaster, open to helping new players find both the rules and their best ways of self-expression in the world of roleplaying. His world building and character creation is fantastic and entertaining. For both new players and tabletop veterans alike, Alec is a wonderful DM.

I have had the pleasure of participating in two campaigns of Alec Englund across the span of three years. In that time, he has continually maintained gripping and fantastic storytelling and NPCs all while keeping the story in the hands of the player characters. As a DM he is creative, punctual, reliable, and fun. As a person, he is relaxed and creates an inviting environment for all players. 9.9/10 needs more snacks
