Great at encouraging roleplay, creates a world full of life and fun interactive npcs, with not just tons of personality, but reasons to talk to and engage with the npcs. Sessions are timely- both beginning and end time- and fast-paced without rushing. Players get all the interactions they want but when we finish a 3 hour session I feel like we've made a lot of progress. I've played up to level 6 with DM Blake so far, and combat has felt kind of easy. So probably a good match for other players like me who don't want to worry about remaking characters all the time (this was a trait I was looking for when I joined the group). (As a note, players are referred to by as character name + pronoun in our group, which was weird to get used to, but is fine. Might be something to keep in mind if that kind of thing could be unpleasant for you.)

DM Blake is really fun. He keeps the game moving but encourages role playing. He really celebrates his players victories. He’s just fun and engaging while bringing the world of the game to life.

Playing his games helped me a lot being a semi new player. Learning rules, character creation, and spell rules. learned a great deal from DM Blake and use that with the other games i play and also DM. Love how he gave me a chance to be a descendant and princess in a current game that carried over from his first game. Lets us be creative with our character, but within reason. would be DM'd by him in the future and recommend him to anyone who wants to play. if i could pick more than three tags, i would pick them all -Silke/Aestr

I played DM Blake's previous campaign and this new campaign takes place 100 years later and we had the option to play descendants of the previous campaign and it aligned with what happened in the past from the previous campaign.

Blake is an awesome DM because he knows D&D 5th edition rules and applies then judiciously, but also adheres to the “rule of cool”. He rewards out of the box thinking and and encourages teamwork. Blake homebrew’s the story to fit the characters involved, and brings NPC’s to life with ease. I highly recommend DMBlake if you’re looking to play a weekly D&D game with a professional DM who’s always prepared!

Blake is a fantastic DM with a style that appeals to players both new and experienced. I've had the opportunity to have him as a DM for three campaigns with multiple different settings, groups of people, and party compositions. You can easily tell he puts time and effort into his sessions/players to make sure everyone is engaged and gives players opportunities to try and get what they want out of their characters or play style. Easily one of my favorite DM I've gotten to be lucky enough to be a player for.
