GM Style
The D&D I remember and fell in love with was gritty, grainy, and dangerous. Creative problem solving came in many forms, from avoiding deadly traps, to complex battle encounters, to figuring out how to get all your loot back to town. There was no encounter balance, you had to asses the threat and fight or flee accordingly. This is the type of experience I seek to create for my players. My style is immersive and detail-oriented. I create rich and diverse environments, and incorporate various challenges, creatures, and traps to engage my players. I often seek to evoke a sense of atmosphere, employing vivid descriptions, music and sound effects. In addition to tactical combat, and 3 dimensional social interactions, I enjoy incorporating twists and moral dilemmas, adding depth to my players' experiences. My approach to creating NPCs and storylines reflects a desire for diversity and authenticity. Overall, my DM style emphasizes creativity, narrative complexity, and a willingness to adapt to my players' choices and actions. Oh and if you seen the 7 Types of DM in D&D by DnD Shorts, I am a World Builder.

Sets the Mood
This DM has very entertaining stories, layered with depth that induces thought and scenarios that test the morality and reputation of your character. To add on to that, lying to the wrong NPC might screw you over, 10, maybe 15 sessions later, giving your decisions and actions meaning. The worlds he creates are immersive, captivating and highly interactive, ensuring a wonderful night of role-play and storytelling.
Kofi creates an immersive, imaginary world for us to explore. The storytelling is creative and steeped in African-centered lore -- from the characters and the weapons to the food, the drinks, and the orishas. His use of music, sound effects, pictures, and voice mods make you feel as if you have stepped into a different world...an exciting world. It is clear Kofi spends a lot of time crafting each campaign, and he continually adapts the world to his players needs. I am always excited to see where our adventures will take us and I highly encourage everyone to experience to magic and awe of Alkebulan.
The world of Alkebulan feels very immersive. The use of soundscapes makes you feel as if you are there, and the music always sets the right tone. The puzzles are fun to solve and the monsters keep you on your toes. I truly enjoy roleplaying in Alkebulan. I'm eager to see what the next adventure brings!
I first played Dungeons & Dragons in 1979; I was taught by one of the two owners of Judges Guild one of the first ever Dungeons & Dragons supplement companies; and I have been playing off and on for over close to 40 years. Some would say I know a thing or two about D&D. I have had the opportunity to play with a good number of DMS. Some have been good, most okay, and some have been bad. Less than 5 of the DMs I have played with have been very good to great. I would have to say...Kofi is in the top three of the best DMs I've ever played with! Hands down. His homebrew world is a treat and absolutely refreshing when compared to the carbon copy worlds that I've partaken in. Now I will say that even though new players can join his game and find success in his world, it is more of a game for advanced players tired of same old same old. I have thoroughly enjoyed my character in his world and Kofi worked closely with me to meld my backstory with his campaign and I have been very satisfied and a few times surprised at how he has developed adventures within the game that catered to my character. If a player, new or experienced, asked me should they take the chance and join one of his games I would say: You would be a fool not to!
Kofi is a dedicated GM whose very passionate about the world of Alkebulan and spends alot of time developing it (down to: cultural festivals, downtime activities,character development...even a judicial system). He provides a fun atmosphere to set the mood and uses cool visual aids in his interactive maps. If you have questions and ideas, he's always willing to listen, consider and assist in your character development. Critical thinking and teamwork is highly advised and often rewarded. Tip: if it isn't on your character, you don't have it. Write notes too. It'll benefit you believe me. Ultimately, Kofi understands that the game is constantly expanding and adapts accordingly. I look forward to experiencing his world with you. Let's make 2024 a great one.
