Dungeon Doug is an exceptional DM, delivering one of the most immersive and enjoyable D&D experiences ever. His storytelling is masterful, weaving rich drama, compelling characters, and engaging narratives into every session. The pacing is always spot-on—precisely balancing moments of tension, humour, and reflection. Doug’s deep understanding of the rules and willingness to adapt for the story's sake create a seamless gameplay experience. He knows when to stick to the mechanics and when to bend them slightly, ensuring the game is both fun and immersive. His adaptability makes every moment feel meaningful and dynamic. What truly stands out is Doug’s sense of drama and humour and his ability to lighten the mood without breaking immersion. Above all, Doug is attentive and collaborative, making the game feel like a true partnership. He ensures players feel heard, valued, and central to the story, creating a deeply rewarding experience for everyone involved. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned player, I can’t recommend Dungeon Doug enough. His campaigns are an absolute delight, and you’ll eagerly await every session!

A great PBP DM that gets invested in his games, best for players that like to put a good amount of thought and personality into their characters. Responsive and communicative. Descriptive and considerate writer. Great at keeping the game active and not allowing it to stall. All you could ask for in a PBP DM really.

As soon as I found start playing I joined a couple of games to experience the site as a paying customer before hosting games myself, I hadn’t planed to be a player to long (I usually prefer to be the dm) but I was lucky enough to choose Doug’s Dragon of Icespire peek campaign. I was surprised by how much fun I had as a player IN HIS game, and we’ve been playing for over a year now. Doug kept a fairly simple pre-written adventure for low level characters interesting and fresh (even for an old timer like myself). He has always been fair and consistent with rules (mostly as written) while still acknowledging “the rule of cool” when appropriate for the situation. When we’ve done unexpected things he still provided a fun game without limiting our options, while still keeping the adventure on track. As a long time game master myself, I know that isn’t always easy lol He’s been a great GM (I don’t give that compliment lightly) I would definitely recommend Doug if your looking for your next DM!

Doug is one of the best GMs I've had the pleasure of playing with, and you can absolutely tell that he cares so much about the game and his players. While most of the time that I've struggled finding DMs that don't "inadvertently" punish their players for being nontraditional, but Doug's been more than willing to indulge in my shenanigans and make it a rich part of the world.

Dungeon Doug is very invested in his games and you as a player. He is always reaching out to make sure that you personally have fun and finds creative ways to implement your character into his custom games. He is very knowledgeable about the game but at the same time, he is always open to creative ideas and lets the game go whether it screws up his initial plan or not which is very rare in a DM. He goes through your backstory and makes cool side quests for them which inevitably progresses through the campaign. He is one of my favorite DMs and I highly recommend him.

Good at accommodating noob players like myself. Had a fun time interacting with and being in his game world.
