GM Style
Try to do 1/3 roleplay, 1/3 combat, and 1/3 exploration. Like to use my own homebrew world of Zin (we use World Anvil). Love D&D because it is an amazing creative outlet tool for players and DMs. Like doing paid games because players are more committed typically and I invest the money into resources (I patreon over a dozen GM related stuff monthly): Sounds, maps, modules, official and unofficial content, World Anvil GM Pass, and of course GM prep time. -> Lead Designer at MonstersandMagic.com -> Expert at 5e mechanics. -> I like doing costumes (when I can) with wigs and stuff, and voices to help increase immersion. -> Only will play with mics and webcams to help increase immersion. -> Use talespire for the VTT b/c it one of the best VTT out there and 3D. -> Games can be streamed if everyone agrees/consents (no extra effort on players part).

We have really good dialogue both in and out of character. DM is amazing and allows a space for player creativity and world building.

slowl brings up the heat. not like most dms its starts with assessing your ability then goes off your skills. you dont need talesspire if you cant afford it

I love the voices and characters he creates, as well as the world setting he has built. There's enough going on in the world to have a direction, but limited enough to not be overwhelming. The combat is well balanced with varying difficulties in enemies. Gives a lot of freedom to the players to contribute to the world building through backstory, roleplay, and real time contributions to the lore.

Had a great game last night with Azbolg and the party. I got swallowed by a purple worm and survived to tell you all about it!!! Azbolg is a great DM who builds some of the more challenging and fun encounters for parties to come together and use their knowledge and creativity to overcome obstacles, fight monsters and roleplay out some of the more dynamic player characters I have ever had the pleasure of playing with. Great Game Azbolg, Thanks for all the hard work.

Fun. Allows players to play their way, within reason

there are some very interactive maps and there is a lot of RP compared to combat - and in general, it's a stable, well-thought out adventure flow. there is a tight control on OP situations which is good as otherwise, some characters are so much more powerful, it takes away a lot of the fun.
