About me
Hello, I’m Dev! I’ve been a DM for seven years now, running both long term campaigns and one shots. I am very passionate about creating an immersive online experience, with great maps, music, and sound effects. I’ve been running online games for many years now, and feel very confident in my techniques and creating a fun and awesome game. I love running epic combats, high tier play, and role playing. Right now I am only running DnD 5e 2014 rules.
GM Style
I love epic combats, interesting encounters, and role playing. My favorite part of Dnd is combats, with powerful adventurers fighting world destroying threats. I love creating challenging and long combats that can last around an hour. I am very descriptive and will take time to narrate how epic your character is being. I work best with moderate-experienced players.

Dev is a fantastic DM. Dev handles high level (like 20th) better than any DM I've ever played with before. Dev is welcoming, creative and fun and brings all kinds of amazing ideas to the game for players of all levels. Simply awesome!!!

Played in a 9-hour level 20 one shot game. It was great to get to play a long game at high levels with a knowledgeable DM. Definitely recommend for those looking to play top tier DND! Thanks again Dev!

The BEST high level DM on the market. Dev's ability to not only run a 6-7 person high level D&D party, but still make it balanced, challenging, and extremely fun is unmatched. Come enjoy some high level combat and adventuring fun!

Dev Alva was the DM for my first online D&D session and I had a lot of fun and overall a great experience. They're very friendly and seem to genuinely want everyone to have a fun time during a game. Their knowledge of the rules seems solid and they have creative narrative ideas to add into combat scenarios so that it isn't always just down to rolling dice. And if your really shy and socially awkward they are very good at helping you feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend Dev Alva to anyone!!!
