Grayson is a great DM - he works with you to incorporate your character and background into the story so you feel like a part of the campaign. Good storytelling, a mix of combat and roleplay, and an all-around stellar DM. 100% recommend - if you haven't played with Grayson, then you're missing out.

Grayson is a very good DM. He is an amazing voice actor, and I love the way he writes his NPCs. Every NPC feels detailed and thought out. When interacting with the NPCs you can feel their personalities in their way of speaking and their reactions. He describes scenes and can set tones very well. Along with the music and details of whats happening, Grayson is able to bring perfect atmosphere to important (or even unimportant) moments. Grayson is ready to double check rules and mechanics to assure players of what they are able and not able to do. Which is always nice for any new players. He ensures that are still playing DND, and we are in a world with realistic social expectations. Grayson wants all the players to have fun and participate in the game. He makes sure players are comfortable and will ask our opinions a lot of the time. The price Grayson sets for his games are very modest, because with all his skills and effort it makes an amazing experience.

TLDR: You’ve found your next GM; you can stop browsing. Play in Grayson’s game. You’ll thank me later. Long version: At this point, I have played 100+ hours with Grayson, and I intend to keep playing for as long as he doesn’t get sick of me. Grayson is kind, communicative, responsive, and sensitive, all while running incredibly immersive games with high stakes, deep emotional resonance, and satisfying narratives. Grayson’s games are worth every penny and then some. I began playing in Grayson’s game last fall with a group of strangers. Before we started our game, I was nervous about being overlooked as the only woman in the group, but I quickly learned I had nothing to worry about; Grayson’s table is very equitable, inclusive, and safe. Grayson shows careful effort in making sure every player feels valued and enjoys the game. He's fantastic at balancing PC spotlights in the story and reading the temperature of the group during gameplay, gently reining in players who tend to take over, and nudging players who haven't made any choices or spoken up in a while. Grayson offers surveys for player feedback and acts on the feedback immediately. He’s very approachable and eager to answer questions or help in any way he can. When my schedule changed and I could no longer play with that first group, Grayson reached out to me and set up a new group with me and three irl friends. We’ve been playing this game together for 8 months so far, and have no intention of stopping. Ever. We’re all already talking about what our next campaign will be after we defeat Strahd (or after he turns us all into Capri Suns). Grayson’s storytelling and immersion abilities are truly masterful. Our game is THE HIGHLIGHT of my week (and I say that as a person who participates in a lot of other fun activities, including 3 other dnd groups). Grayson flawlessly weaves every character’s backstory into the game, even despite running a pre-written module. The emotional beats are powerful, the combat feels intense, the social encounters are rich, and I would die for a particular NPC. Grayson’s ability to make fictional people and situations feel incredibly real is amazing. Grayson is a fun and compassionate GM to play with. I’d recommend his table for players who prefer a very “Rules as Written” game, who enjoy great character voices and roleplay, and who are looking for reliability, consistency, and communication from their GM. I’d also recommend him for new players; he’s great at patiently explaining why he rules a certain way, and his rulings are very consistent. Overall, I’d describe Grayson as a Nat 20 GM. Give his game a try, you won’t regret it.

I really can't put into words the atmosphere that Grayson creates through music, voices, and world building. As a new player who values the storytelling over all else I was surprised that Grayson not only delivers the story but the combat and roleplaying is top notch as well. When he took all my character ideas and weaved it into the story I knew this was going to be a good experience. I appreciate how prepared he is with his rules and interpretations as a newcomer, because if I have a question if i CAN do something I trust Grayson's ruling and judgement. I also enjoy the inclusive and fun atmosphere outside of roleplaying that he allows. To him no one has dumb questions, everyone is made sure to be heard, and no one is excluded. If you are looking to begin your D&D experience or looking for your next campaign Grayson is THE DM to go with.

Grayson strives to create an immersive world that reacts realistically to the actions of the player characters. They're ruling are fare and they keep the game rolling smoothly. The campaigns do have a number of homebrew rules to increase the potency of martial classes and bring some outlier abilities into line, so make sure to read through those and that they are agreeable to you.

I do not exaggerate when I say that Grayson is the best DM I've ever had for Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Where do I even begin? I suppose first with something that means a lot to me personally: he gives as much of a damn about your character as you do. He will work with you to shape your character's backstory into something that fits into the world, integrating them into the world and story overall. And he will especially help you shape your character's story going forward into the campaign. The terms "makes your character feel like a part of the world" definitely applies - your character did not just spawn fully formed into the world, they have lived in it all the way up to the point you first start playing them, and you get to experience their journey moving forward from that point. And this is just something that I personally really like, but the fact that certain feats and multiclassing must have story reasons for their inclusion makes those decisions feel far more impactful and cool. Then there's the world building and atmosphere Grayson puts into his games! Holy smokes, I cannot count the amount of times Grayson's descriptions, in tandem with choice music/ambience, have made me feel awe or anxiety or whatever else he is trying to convey. And even if you don't feel any particularly strong feelings, you definitely get a vivid idea as to what kind of environment you're in. Also, the homebrew that he's created injects a great amount of fun into playing melee classes especially. Grayson is really good about communication with the players, be it concerning rules or story or above table talk, and be it with all the players at once or one on one. He is always open to feedback, and gives it back in equal measure. I struggle with expressing my thoughts, especially when it comes to providing feedback, but TL;DR - Grayson's an incredible DM. He cares about your characters, he cares about the world he's built for the players, and he cares about his job as the DM.
