Todd is like the Great Mother, lovingly guiding you on an trip to a magical place, enveloping you in a warm embrace as he expertly guides you and your party through the darkness and dangers of a D&D game. He is able to enforce his rulings in a just way where the player happily agrees with whatever ruling Todd ends up giving. Todd is also like the All-Father. Ruthless. Challenging. He will kill one or more of your characters with no hesitation! He is a delight as a person and a dungeon master, and incredibly tolerant of player shenanigans as well. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I love everything about Todd's DMing! They put effort into making sure there is ambient music to set the mood and embrace characters and voices so well. As a queer trans person, I feel safe at Todd's table and I feel comfortable enough to approach them if there is anything problematic coming up. They are fair in their rulings and can say no when appropriate but otherwise will "yes, and" so many shenanigans. I look forward to our sessions every week and highly recommend Todd as a GM. This wouldn't be my favourite table without them <3

A simple review for a professional as consummate as Todd would be an insult to the very concepts of taste and crafted excellence. No. What's Todd deserves for his effort and exceptionality brilliant improvisational story telling couldn't be summed up in a book as thick as war and peace. He is a master game master. A giant among jesters. He steals away our sense of ennui and replaces it wholesale with unadulterated joy and terror. Not a single session has passed where the lactic pain of true happiness hasn't marred our faces with the twisted epilepsy of sustained grinning mirth and epic silliness. Our game is lucky enough to have wonderful players, all vetted by Todd, who make role-playing effortless and fun, but without Todd None of it would come to be. He is dedicated and timely, well versed in the rules and customs of DND. He offers us an open world in which virtually anything can and does take place, yet he dances effortlessly along the line between sandbox and railroad, emerging as the Gloriana, a perfect machine that satisfies the aesthetic, the practical, the fantastical, the adventurous, and the social. What more can I say in this criminally brief summation of a giant of the game? Todd is a much better DM than me, or anyone I know. We are on our 54th session in as many weeks with Todd, and I for one look forward to many many more! Is it Monday yet?

It's hard for me to describe how excellent Todd is as a person and Game Master. Being LGBTQ+ it was hard to find a place or game that made me feel like I fit in but Todd does a tremendous job at providing a safe and inclusive environment not just for the LGBTQ+ people but for everyone. He also always has the best music and lol don't get me started on his NPCs Voices lol. ( You have to ask him to do the Elkhorn or Spark voice at least one time lol ) Todd is also a master of tying in your character's backstories into the campaign/world and really giving them their moments to shine. I have played in 3 campaigns so far with Todd he is very knowledgeable and kind. He really is a GM for the players and I would recommend him 10/10 to anyone. ( New players or Veterans)

Todd is a master of his craft, from the storytelling to the combat and other unique encounters. He really nails the edge of your seat tension and holds you there. His ability to weave the players stories into the overarching story is done to great success. Heart thumping and gratifying moments of success. His table is engaging, fun and always brings a good laugh or two maybe even three!

I've been playing DnD for a little over a year and DM Todd is the best DM I've had hands down. Todd enjoys seeing your character thrive and will be your biggest fan. He does a great job of balancing the goofiness that DnD brings with the actual rules and drama of the story. I haven't even mentioned the amazing voices and personalities he brings to the NPCs. Whether you are new to DnD or a veteran of the game, I highly recommend Todd for your next roleplaying adventure.
