About me
I bring your characters to life, I tie in your backstory to the NPCs to the world and the other players, any module I run is expanded with additional artwork maps and quests. And if you have chosen one of my homebrew world games than everything is original. As such I can handle any character concept for a game and use homebrew as needed if everyone at the table is comfortable with your homebrew concept. My focus is on getting everyone to play the character they want, and thats the corner stone on building great stories. I have few limits on what can work in a game. I used to think a full vampire would be off limits until BG3 came out, now that I have seen Astarion all it takes is a gimick to get you to walk in sunlight and then that becomes a viable character. But what is most important is what works for the game and for the group.
GM Style
Narrator - Neutral Arbiter - World Builder - Story Teller, my focus is on working with players on their characters and fitting them into the fantasy world. I try to bring in elements from a characters backstory in every game. But that can take time, all my games in 5E have lasted from levels 1-20 as I have never had a single game fall apart. I aim for a balance of Combat and Roleplay, whats the fun of playing a cool hero if you dont get to engage with all their abilities to feel like that powerful warrior or great wizard you want to be. When thats established you characters relationships naturally grow over the course of the game with NPC's and PC's alike. Thats the true secret on running games levels 1-20. I like creating new and unique magical items and monsters, great for keeping things interesting for new and old players alike.

Dicemaster makes great use of the Foundry platform and it makes for a very immersive experience. I joined his weekly Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign after participating in a oneshot. The campaign has nurtured a strong sense of player agency, and Dicemaster took time to work with me on my backstory to create a very satisfying character to enjoy each week. I'd highly recommend either a oneshot or a campaign experience with this gamemaster!

DiceMaster provided a wonderful experience in our session. The world was well put together, the environment was fun, and the storytelling was superb! The visuals provided were top-notch and ran smoothly. I could not have asked for a better or more fun experience for a one-shot. I look forward to playing with him again!!

I've played with about 10 different DM's here on start playing...and many more since I started playing TTRPGs in the 90's. I've never had a more immersive experience than the 1 shot with DiceMaster. Animations and audio effects for every spell...and he even made AI theme songs for the PCs that he'd play during our turns in combat. ...of course he knew the rules backwards and forwards too. ...and was hilarious. ...and did a great job of involving every character's unique powers/skills. Trying to convince some friends to get together and have DiceMaster run a long term campaign with him. You have to at least do a 1-shot with him to experience a VTT like you see in promo videos that you didn't think was actually possible.

Absolutely fantastic experience with him, an efficient and really fun one shot, with a bunch of little details the DM did that went above and beyond what I normally expect. Dice Master set the bar for what I expect from future DMs and I cannot recommend playing in one of his games enough.

Well organized, paced exquisitely, friendly to newer players, incredible world building, and memorable encounters. Had a lot of little touches in there to make it personable. You'll just have to join a game of theirs to find out the rest!

Dice is out-of-this-world good at this. Polished, dynamic, challenging—this is an incredibly tightly run game. I was really impressed. You won't be disappointed. The 12th Level one-shot we ran was so smoothly run. And honestly, I love a great theatre of the mind game, but the special effects in the VTT he ran was so strong. He even made a custom song based on the characters!
