DC was the DM for a new player's first DND session and did a great job balancing pacing and guiding. The session ended with a brief but exciting town defense, culminating in said new player singlehandedly decimating the raiding party with a single, well-placed spell. Years later, that player still brings up that session all the time.

My favourite part of DND is creating a character and watching that character evolves as a campaign progresses. DC does an amazing job of facilitating this. He's eager for you to share your characters backstory so that he can integrate elements of it into his worlds, as well as creating moments that play to your characters strengths or force them to deal with their weaknesses. General vibes at the table are always very positive with a focus on being welcoming and making sure no one is uncomfortable. He knows how to encourage humour when the moment calls for it, but can also set the serious tone when it's time to lock in. I've enjoyed being at his table and look forward to continuing to play.

DC is one excellent example of how a GM should not only interact with players and their characters, but also to make everyone feel like they belong at the table. I have GMed games myself for years, and can only hold a candle to his style of GMing. One of my favorite memories has to be the beginning of our campaign, going from a seasoned adventurer who couldn’t triumph to someone who only has existential dread for the future, it’s only something DC can pull off.

He is great at integrating backstories and thinking on the fly. One of the best DM's I've had in my 5 years playing

Incredibly inclusive and very communicative, which is something I’m always looking for in a DM; DC is very good about making you feel welcome at his table. Any ideas you have, any thoughts you bring up, and any feedback you ask for characters is always met with an inquisitive nature and a need to help you make it work in whatever setting you find yourself in. Because of that, it’s really comfortable being at his table!! Would 100% recommend him, promise you’ll either leave laughing, crying, or somewhere in between and still eager for the next session.

I came across an open table ran by DC and since joining over a year ago I've learned so much about playing D&D with a fun and safe table. He's very fair to players without coddling them and his world building and story telling is fun without being overwhelming for new players. He's very open to collaboration re: PC goals and backstory and does his best to make sure we don't die unceremoniously (while providing realistic/fair consequences to player shenanigans). He's my favorite DM (after my bae) and I highly recommend him to both new and experienced players who are looking for an immersive and fun experience!
