I’ve played with quite a few DMs, and I can confidently say that the Admiral is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of gaming with. From the start, his immersion and character voices made every session feel alive, bringing NPCs and the world itself into vivid detail. Whether it was tense combat, deep roleplay moments, or unexpected humor, he always struck the perfect balance to make the game engaging. One of the things that stood out the most was how much player agency he gave us. Every decision mattered, every plan we came up with had an impact, and we always felt like we had control over how the story unfolded. He’s not just great at running encountersβ€”he’s fantastic at making the world react naturally to our choices, which is something I truly appreciate in a DM. Every session was an absolute blast, and I always looked forward to the next one. If you ever get the chance to play in one of his campaigns, take it. You’ll be in for an immersive, well-run, and incredibly fun game. I hope to have the opportunity to play with him again in the future!

I've participated in two webinars with The Admiral. He is organized, knowledgeable, and generous with his knowledge and experience. At the same time, he incorporates a participant's experiences when answering questions. His easygoing demeanor and visual aids makes it easy to follow along -- I look forward to future webinars!

Out of the GM webinars that I've taken, this one was very well-crafted and professional. The GM was very knowledgeable about the subject matter (Myers-Briggs Personality Test) and was happy to stay online a little late to field questions.

I attended a seminar that Admiral Adventures gave about player types and creating good table chemistry. He was generous with his experience and has plenty of it. I'd definitely attend another and I'm sad I missed the one he gave on audio.
