About me
Professional: My personal opinion is that when you ask for money for a certain service, you should be professional. After years of preparing I've decided to sell my services as a part-time job and build up to go full-time. Experienced: I've got a background in acting, which allows me to be a very flexible Dungeon Master. I've gained a lot of experience in storytelling, which makes my sessions fun and engaging. For the last 4 years, I've done weekly sessions with groups, and learned everything from the official and unofficial books to get my sessions to be epic. LHBTQ+ friendly: When I say LHBTQ+ friendly I don't mean that you need to have an LHBTQ+ character or that your own sexual nature has to be in that way. It just means that I support people who are in the LHBTQ+ community as I myself am part of that community. Custom Maps: I usually make my own specialized maps for the sessions to make sure the player gets his money's worth. These maps are designed from official sources and when needed my own homebrew maps. These maps also have fog of war and sight restrictions, like you are used to with Roll20 or different kinds of Virtual Tabletop. Foundry VTT: For my sessions, I use Foundry VTT. I prefer this Virtual Tabletop over Roll20 because of its moddability and easy-to-use systems. The Virtual Tabletop is free for anyone to sign up, just like Roll20, only DM's like me pay for it. DnDBeyond: I use DnDBeyond for my campaigns so it'll be easy for me to get all the sheets together. Now with the new Dice roll systems and Combat Tracker, it really is my preferred way of running a session.
GM Style
My Game Master style is a hybrid of roleplay, battles, voices, hard choices, and a lot of comedic relief. I like a realistic approach to situations and I really appreciate when players go out of their way to get very creative with their decisions.

I've had Dutch as my DM for over a year now and I can honestly say I have no regrets. He has all the hallmarks of a great DM and his ability to tell a great story and keep the session engaging, all while adapting to our party's shenanigans, is impressive to say the least. He's a good mix of rules lawyer and "rule of cool". Meaning that alot of the times, I can pull off some amazing things in game that make sessions memorable without outright breaking the game. Our group is a wild mix of new and veteran players. Power gamers and role players from all around the world. Dutch does an amazing job of having something for everyone in every session. TL:DR Dutch is a great DM and anyone looking for a fun time should definitely give him a chance.

This GM introduced me to Dungeons & Dragons (5e) years ago! Role play is amazing with him, allowing you to keep your own pace while challenging you still. At the start I had my issues with learning, was taken gently at points by the hand and pointed out where to look. Positive experiences are a great teacher afteral, he understands. Supportive and patient he certainly is. Designs his own awesome maps, a great storyteller who juggles our surprising creativity the the most deceptive smile~ Do be wary though! You are in for a ride, the 'greatest bard of them all' likes new and experienced visitors, no need to be shy, just try~

I've been playing with Dutch now for little under a year. One of my friends was in one of his campaigns when he had invited my friend and another player to his home brew. They needed players, so my friend asked if I could join since I had been trying to find a party. Up until this point I had played 3 or 4 sessions of a pathfinder campaign that had fizzled out. And at that point, that had been years ago. I was absolutely terrified. Until I played. Dutch made me feel extremely welcomed. If I had questions, he never hesitated to help. If he could sense I was nervous about something, he had a way of moving things forward without making me feel like I had all the attention drawn to me. When he knew I was ready, he wasn't scared to rip my training wheels off either. Which was surprisingly a lot of fun. Haha He's got an incredible world and story to tell. It's dark, but I thoroughly enjoy escaping into it. His discord is off the chain. We got memes. We got general discussion. We got a RP spot for everywhere you can imagine in game. Seriously. My roommate and I in game have an RP spot that we can use out of game to make things cannon in the world. Our actions grow the world, which is exciting and nerve wracking. Dutch doesn't mess around when it comes to bringing it. I'm so happy that he allowed me to join his campaign and keeps me around. I'm not the best player. By a long shot. I play with some solid veterans in a game run by a solid veteran, and all of them have alway had my back, and they always put up with my RP heavy character. They're solid dudes. Dutch has created not only a great world but a great group of friends. TL;DR Dutch is freaking amazing. He's super nice to new players, and challenges them appropriately. His world is the best world, and he doesn't skimp on fleshing it out. He's got a fantastic culture at his table for newbies and vets alike. Basically, why haven't you hired him yet????
