GM Style

Allow me to unveil my Dungeon Master style and why you should choose me to guide your adventures. I revel in the art of roleplaying, weaving intricate encounters where player characters engage with NPCs steeped in profound history and compelling backstories. But that's not all! I take your character's backstory and seamlessly integrate it into the tapestry of quests and adventures that unfold within our campaigns. It's a personalized journey that makes your story truly matter. But don't be fooled, the thrill of tactics and combat is equally enticing in my realm. As your GM/DM, my foremost mission is to ensure every moment at the table brims with enjoyment. Your satisfaction as players is my guiding star, and together, we'll craft unforgettable tales of heroism and epic battles. Join me on a quest where your story takes center stage, and fun knows no bounds!

I’ve really enjoyed playing with The Blue Collar DM. Although I had some experience before signing up with him, I’ve learned so much. He gives players plenty of room to try stuff and drops hints for new players that are helpful to them. He also does a great job in setting the atmosphere for the campaign. I’m currently in two very different campaigns with him and the atmosphere is dead on with the story. Lastly, and this is important, he is always prepared. He can provide a great recap if someone missed a session, and there is always a perfect cliffhanger or appropriate stopping point right at the time limit.

Howie has created a vast world that has a lot of depth and character. He works with you on session zero to create your character and make your backstory work and fit in the world he created (sometimes you create some of the lore for the world for future players). As a dm in game he brings the story to life with voices and narrative that goes above and beyond. You won’t be disappointed with a campaign run by this gentleman. Good luck with your math rocks!

Always a fun game with BCDM! We have a great group of players, such a welcoming, safe, beginner-friendly environment and Howie is always accommodating and has something fun and challenging planned. Can’t recommend BCDM enough! He’s always prepared, has a great sense of humour, is patient and understanding and has excellent knowledge of the rules.
