I've been playing Jay for many years online, as both a fellow player and as my DM. Jay has all the skills, experience, and tools to create a great DnD experience for any table, but I'd say he's especially skilled at providing a challenge for advanced players. I know that when I'm playing with Jay that he won't pull his punches and that he wouldn't want me to pull mine. For me, it creates a better sense of immersion, danger, and accomplishment.

Knows the game very well and tells a smooth story with recaps at the beginning of each session to bring the players up to speed. Handles rules fairly and deals with confrontations between players very well.

While his style is different than I'm used to, he is fun to play for.

Fun DM

It's still going! We're not even done yet! It's a slow burn with political intrigue and a backdrop of war and conflict. Combat is challenging but our DM is super chill so it doesn't feel nerve-wracking and overwhelming. DM is very open to feedback in terms of pacing and balancing encounters so it always feels challenging but not insurmountable. Enemies don't always hold back either, so there feels like there's some consequences for actions. We've TPK'd once already and we were still able to weave that first attempt into the story so our second party could go further. Am still fairly new to TTRPGs compared to the rest of the party yet I've never felt "behind" in terms of knowledge or skill. We have a weird array of backgrounds and backstories but we've all been incorporated into the storyline as well.

He has a way of bringing you straight to the scene. Every creature, every NPC, is voiced dynamically. Creativity is easy for this man and he knows his stuff. He is fair and fun to play with and I would do a one shot or a full campaign under this GM any day of the week.
