Shiv is a great DM! He keeps the pace of games flowing, keeps the players guessing on what to expect, and makes you want to pay attention to every detail. Shiv creates more than just a simple combat and then progress to the next town games, it is great mix of puzzles, exploration, infiltration, ambushes, social interactions, and even the combats have complexity to them. At the same time he is able to make everyone feel included and have times to shine. He delivers a spectacular game. I look forward to my games every week.

I've been playing in Shiv's Eve of Ruin campaign on Wednesdays, and it's one of the best DND experiences I've had! The amount of effort Shiv puts into our sessions on Roll20 is huge - every detail, from the tokens and custom battlemaps to the music and handouts, speaks volumes about his dedication. Whether it's letters, NPC profiles, or lore, everything is designed to pull you deeper into the game. The use of lore is amazing, especially considering the campaign spans multiple worlds. Shiv seamlessly brings both familiar and new characters, making each encounter feel fresh and exciting. It's clear that he spends a lot of time not just reading through the content but also enhancing it with his own spin. His additions are never random; they mesh perfectly with the existing material, enhancing the story in a way that feels natural. You always feel like the story is progressing and your actions matter. Combat with Shiv is always great fun, tense and unpredictable! He excels at creating custom creatures with unexpected abilities and designing interactions in combat that keep everyone on their toes. Shiv is fantastic at working with players to build great characters, considering both your play style and how to keep the game balanced and fun for everyone. He manages to uphold the rules while still making sure every player feels included and enjoys their time. One of the highlights for me is how we end each session with a chat where we discuss the game, share our thoughts, and get to know one another as players. This has really helped us gel as a group more than any other game I've been in, creating a strong sense of camaraderie and appreciation for each other's roleplay and tactics. If you're looking for a DM who goes above and beyond to create an engaging, well-rounded, and challenging experience, Shiv is your man! His passion, attention to detail, and dedication to making every session memorable truly set him apart. Highly recommended!

Shiv is an excellent and professional DM. He does a phenomenal job of keeping the pace of play, which I find a lot of DM's struggle with. He's worked with our players to really make us feel like we're cool and powerful. He takes feedback to heart and really shapes the games based on the desires of his players. Also, he's created the coolest combats I've ever been a part of as a DnD player. I couldn't recommend a DM more!

Shiv is a well rounded GM, but in my opinion the best aspect of his skillset is his willingness to listen and adapt to the feedback of his players in order to ensure that everyone is having as good of a time as possible. If the group collectively provides feedback or requests he will actively try to incorporate them into future sessions (when the requests are within reason of course haha) Give him a try if you are looking for a new DM, I don't think you will regret it.

A great DND GM is someone who possesses a deep understanding of the game mechanics and rules, allowing them to create immersive and engaging adventures for their players. They have a knack for storytelling, crafting intricate plots and memorable characters that keep players hooked throughout the campaign. An exceptional GM also excels at improvisation, adapting to unexpected player choices and keeping the game flowing smoothly. They are skilled at balancing challenges, ensuring that encounters are both exciting and fair for all players involved. I can say with absolute confidence that GM Shiv carry all of these qualities and more. To this end I highly recommend Shiv for beginners through to advanced players of DND.

I was getting back into D&D 5th Edition after a long hiatus and Shiv has made that transition smooth. As a DM, Shiv has many standout qualities that makes them a master of their craft. Shiv creates custom visual aids that enhances immersion and is an excellent storyteller. Whether you're a new player or an experienced player I would highly recommend Shiv.
