Mike is a great DM and artistic story-teller. He listens to his players and greatly encourages creativity among his gaming groups, which in turn allows for growth and camaraderie in his sessions. Mike's expert knowledge in D&D is on point, and his desire to promote cleverness and resourcefulness during game play allows for witty conversation and great entertainment among the group players.

Mike has been playing the game for decades and knows his craft. I didn’t think I would enjoy the internet experience having grown up playing in person, but it was terrific. Great adventure and I would highly recommend for old veterans and novice alike.

Mike is very creative. The campaign I am in right now has many different options depending on what choices we make. It is clear he has put a great deal of thought and time into creating his material. The situations we find ourselves in are novel and inventive. We think we have it figured out and there is a new twist. Mike gets right into the game, he acts out the parts with different voices. His descriptions are colourful and easy to imagine. The graphics in Roll20 are top end, from the maps to the fireballs. I have found Mike to have infinite patience. I was new to Roll20 and Mike had to walk everyone through the basics; casting a spell, rolling a dice to making a saving throw. Never has he shown any sign of frustration. As a DM Mike allows players to be creative with their character giving the players a great deal of latitude in their histories and specialities. When it comes to making a ruling I believe Mike to be fair and reasonable. It does not feel like we are playing against him, but rather he is more an arbiter. I have been lucky as a D&D player to have had a lot of good DM’s and Mike is right there at the top.

Love the ability to do what I want as a player, having the sandbox concept is so much fun. Plus he encourages rp which is always a blast to do.

Uniquely among the worlds I've played in, beyond its colourful, varied, and intricate social groupings and power brokers Mike has fashioned a setting that is morally rich and complicated, one that challenges players to truly consider their actions and alliances. There will be consequences. Meaningful ones. They affect your campaign's evolution on a level deeper than hack and slash. Though there's tons of that too. Mike's style is cinematically vivid, and gives the imaginative player meat to chew on and relish and play with. Creative opportunity awaits you. It's devilish, maybe even demonic. And I look forward to breaking though the fourth wall at end and slaying this beastly deity called Mike and finally to rest content back home, with family and friends, quaffing a few, cursing some, and raising a cup to that legendary foe.

Shadow rolls with whatever we throw at him but still maintains the structure of the game. He’s created an intricate world with nuance that’s fun to explore. I’m on my second time through the same campaign and it’s a very different experience with a different character who has different priorities.
