About me
I'm a 5e DM and have been for 4 years now, and have a years worth of experience running games professionally for new and veteran players alike. Honestly I wish I'd discovered DnD alot earlier in life than I did. I've mostly been a forever DM so have been running at least one game a week ever since I first picked up the DMG 4 years ago., with me ending up running 2-3 sessions a week being a very common occurrence. I have a discord used for the purpose of running sessions and allowing players to more easily keep tabs on my games, if you're wondering whether my sessions are for you then please feel free to hop into the discord and talk with some of the group, I'm certain you'll find yourself right at home with us. https://discord.gg/9KDsGJx
GM Style
My sessions/campaigns tend to have a 50/50 combat to roleplay ratio though this does sometimes lean more into the Roleplay side becoming a bit more like a 60/40 split. My games are generally centred around the adventuring party, and in longer form campaigns I like to make sure that everyone has had an arc based around their characters backstory (if the player has taken the time to come up with one and work on it with me). Combat in my sessions can be difficult at times, but I almost never set up an encounter where there is no way for the PCs to "win" or at least navigate their way through it with some degree of success (though the answer to a given problem may not always be the most obvious, Ie. sending the barbarian in to clean house).

Had a little bit of trouble running FGC app, bit WINE eventually managed. As for gameplay - It will be what you make of it, and dare i say, we did great. Worldbuilding is solid, world feels reactive and authentic yet at least one way towards the endgoal is always clear. Totally signing up for a campaign, and trying to sell this format of teambuliding/english practice in my organisation. P.S. My IRL friends are getting jealous and started setting up a session for us, which is also awesome :3
its hard to add anything that hasn't already been said. One thing that hasn't been mentioned before is that he is good at dealing with player conflict. he keeps the game moving and will talk to both parties after and will find a solution, even if that means booting the troublesome player. As for my own experience, Grumpy was the one that introduced me to the hobby. He helped me as a player and later with his encouragement, as a GM. He's the best GM ive met.
Maurice is one of the best dm's ive played with in a while. every game always brings a lot of fun and his attention to detail is staggering. The sessions always feel really detailed without being over the top and the level at which Grumpy will work with you on your characters backstory and bring it into the campaign or plot really makes the game just that more enjoyable Over all grumpy is a great DM with plenty of years of experience and a lot of fun. if your into making characters with rich backstory's he's the one for you.
I started playing online dnd about five years ago. I came over a west marches campaign where i played for a while when grumpy started dming. The sessions were rough and a times seemed a bit impossible, they were fair and we the players did make mistakes, but there was times he as a dm made mistakes. He did however as any good dm not shy away from admitting to those mistakes and improve upon his own skills. He left the server a while back and me and some other players have been playing multiple campaigns with him as a dm and some where he is a player. His dming skills have been honed and it has been a joy to play in his campaign. The newest campaign feels like a breathing and living world where whatever shenanigans we are up he helps us along and puts on realistic and tough challenges for us to overcome. Everything from politics to fights are well balanced, its rough but fair and always has a solution. I highly recommed grumpy as a dm!
