About me

Hi, My name is Max, Ive been DM'ing in person for three years now but I would like to develop my online DM skills. I can guarantee my players a safe atmosphere to tell a story, laugh alot, and play the best game in the world (dungeons and dragons)! I would also like to connect with people who are interested in audio recording/podcast making some time in the future.

GM Style

My favourite type of play is similar to that of the podcast Dimension 20. A mix of comedic and serious roleplay. I do still enjoy the technical parts of the game and some sessions will be all out dice rolling wars but character development and storytelling is at the heart of my games.

Max was so great at helping a new bunch of players through character creation and setting out on our first adventure. He was really clear explaining things throughout and managed to completely conjure the world of our adventure.

For someone who’s only been doing this for only a handful of years, Max has impressed. He has a full grasp on the setting the lore and the rules. He seems very passionate about these endeavors and intertwines the backstory of the characters to bring the world alive. I’ve been playing role-playing games since the 80’s and if you’re a beginner, a veteran or an old Grognard like myself you will enjoy the camaraderie that he inspires and intriguing adventures laid out before you. Thank you Max for allowing me to come along on these adventures with you.

Max is a fantastic story teller, who is skilled at helping players of varying experience come together to co create a great DND experience. His knowledge of DND and supportive atmosphere helps create a very enjoyable space to learn the game if you’re a beginner like me. His characterisation and improve skills, as well as his use of visual and audio aids help to create a really immersive game, making you feel comfortable to try to improvise and build up your own characterisation too! He goes the extra mile in developing custom side quests to help develop each players character, only adding to the immersion. Great fun. He’s got me hooked! 5*!
