I described the game and DM style to a long-time DnD player I know through another hobby channel. I thought would be interested in joining as a sixth player after early session. This was a well accomplished introduction to five characters in the City of Greyhawk. We got to know each other in town as individuals where several were new to town, couple already there. We met and formed a party. Also had a fine meal with an exquisite menu. There are unique and fun individuals. Players and characters. There are veteran players, new to the channel, and new-to-DnD player. There was role play in voices and character. Encouraged but not required. Game immersion was kept. I felt and visualized being there. Not a big focus on shopping. Felt nice to earn coin singing (Bard) and also to spend locally for the meal with the party. The rain feature (we got weather!), foreshadowing, road travel, and all were well met. Balance of Game, Narrative, and Simulation in the world. Beautiful menu meal. Dining, good food, and new friends (both players and characters). Building a strong party dynamic. The previous session zero helped to let me know the specifics and mods that are part of the story/world. I've had a wonderful time at the first three sessions. (ed)

I played in session 1 on Monday night and I immediately couldn’t wait until next Monday when we got done. The story telling really put me into Greyhawk and the character introductions were all special & unique. I got a good idea for how the characters are going to relate. I appreciate the attention to detail and the humor. :) I also like the programs used for playing. I’m the least tech savvy millennial I know, but DnDBeyond, Above VTT, & Discord are all easy for me to use, so I’m not distracted from the game by figuring out how to use the technology.

James is a fantastic GM who knows how to keep a game moving while allowing for space for fun RP. His words are vivid and dynamic and he did a phenomenal job integrating my character into a well-established campaign.

Having played in several of James' campaigns for over a year now, I can say he is an excellent story teller and DM. He knows the rules, but allows for players to have cool moments. Roleplaying is encouraged, but no one feels forced to do so if they are shy. Being in his games has helped me immensely as an aspiring DM to break out of my shell and finally run a one-shot for my friends in the group. I would highly recommend any of James' games to new and veteran players alike.

I've played a bunch of sessions with James and always have a blast! He's great at creating a setting and I never had a dull session. I'd definitely book him!

This is an amazing DM who knows how to create captivating worlds and immersive scenes for his players. He is well-prepared and organized, and always ready to adapt to players’ choices. He has an easy-going and friendly personality that makes the game fun and enjoyable for everyone. He is also dedicated to the table and the community he is building; always striving to make the game better and more engaging for all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10
