Our game was a great one shot game for beginners. It involved a fair amount of creative interaction within the town and allowed for us to express our characters however we wanted to be expressed. The barrier for entry was low though, which was perfect for us. I would recommend Devin to any group, but if they are new to DnD it was a great introductory session and he did a great job of explaining and being inclusive. Everyone had an opportunity to be involved and had character sheets to choose from, which can be a complex part of getting started. This made it easier to just get rolling (pun intended)

Devin is an amazing, thoughtful and fun DM. They did an awesome job of creating a super cool one shot and running it. I have never had a chance to play a level 20 character and it was super fun. they did a good job with creating characters for us to play, while still having everyone make their own decisions. a perfect blend of freedom and direction. I would highly recommend them to anyone for a similar experience.

Devin was great. He facilitated a one shot of Blades in the Dark for a part of four who were mostly new to the game. During character and crew creation, Devin was ready with suggestions to help move the process along and to support our group's initial shyness. During the game, Devin was good about keeping all of the players involved, rotating through player actions with good pacing. He also allowed each of us to be creative with our abilities and actions, while also adhering to the rules and structure of the game. He also supported a collaborative process that gave all of the players a chance to build the story. This was my first experience using StartPlaying and Devin made it a very positive one.

We did a session with a few newcomers, and they were very good at making sure newer players could participate, and that everyone in the group was engaged. Enjoyed the characters and attempts to keep things fresh.

Devin lead us into an amazing, one off, D&D meets Twin Peaks game and I enjoyed every second of it! He is a great storyteller and teacher who has a powerful way of intuiting what the players need to know in order for everyone to have fun and explore their own creativity while still progressing through the game at a steady pace. They are very knowledgeable of the rules, but not a stickler for the canon. I loved playing D&D with Devin!

Devin ran an outstanding game of Blades in the Dark for Beginners, which was perfect for my first time playing in the system. Devin was able to very effectively balance explanation of the mechanics, telling a fun story and ensuring that the spot light was shared across players. A great session and am looking forward to playing in another with Devin soon!
