I have been playing d&d since 1st ed and have primarily been the DM for most of those years. So when we joined startplaying I was really excited to be a player. Picked Dmitry based on his offering a custom game and I have been really happy with the choice. Interesting, invested and adaptable. The game offered each player a chance to shine, and to dig deeper into their character, while maintaining a good pace. And now he is building a new game so that our group can play further. Brilliant.

I'm in an open world campaign. It never feels like we are on rails, choices do matter. Friendly DM with lots of experience.

Does good voices. Gets creative. Colors outside the lines. Works with the players. Understanding. Knows the rules. Fun.

DMitry is a great DM, he is very helpful with getting new players up to speed in his ongoing campaigns, and is greatly engaging with all players, so no one feels left out. I am looking forward to playing our next session!

Allows for personal backstory, includes it into the setting, adds a lot of flavor to the entire game, even if made up by players, or doesn't really change much (like the colour of my spells for example, or how my character finds armour uncomfortable, despite none of it affecting anything at all...) and even drew our characters for the digital map! That was way more than I would ever expect from anyone!

Dmitry is a thoughtful and well-prepared DM that sets the tone of the world in a compelling way. He does extremely well knowing when to give the players space to do their thing and when to move the plot along with his own interactions. As part of this, experience RP'ers will be given ample time for social interactions whereas inexperienced social RP'ers (like me) will appreciate his willingness to jump in and set the scene around your character. Dmitry is very knowledgeable of the rules but also allows players the freedom and space to carve their own niche in the world. Dmitry has also worked with be out of game to tweak my character in a way that helps both me and the table. We unexpectedly lost our sole front-line melee in the campaign due to a scheduling conflict, and Dmitry helped to support me in changing classes in a way that helped the party and respected the fabric of the campaign while making sure I was having fun along the journey. I think that both RP and combat focused players will find what they are looking for at Dmitry's table, and beginners and veterans will also be well-served by his dynamic approach to DM'ing.
