TheP;ayMatt has an incredible style, is really fun and flexible with the rules. His home crafted world and monsters are fun, exciting and unique. At the end of the session I wanted to just keep playing.

This game was incredibly fun. A Level 20 one shot is a tricky thing, with complex combat mechanics and Matt made it such a breeze. And he let us use all of our cool level 20 abilities while very nearly killing us a whole bunch of times. Truly nothing more we could possibly want.

Playing with Matt is a unique experience because you really feel like you are playing with someone who knows D&D through and through. He knows the rules inside out, he knows how to work well with players old and new, and his acting background lends to some wonderful roleplaying and voices. Highly recommend playing a game with Matt if you want a fulsome D&D experience from someone who really understands what they're doing!!

Matt brought together different play styles and experience levels in a fun and effortless way. The game "hit the ground running" and allowed for on-the-go exploration, which I personally love as a way to engage with a new world. Matt matched the group's energy really well and made everyone feel included and valued (as players and characters!). Can't wait for next session. 10/10 no notes!

Matt was very detailed in his descriptions and very much catered the game towards the type of party and playstyle that we brought to the table. His world is exciting and filled with character and he always seemed excited to see what we had in mind for how to proceed with our one-shot. Matt was an absolute joy to play with, I hope to do so again in the future

Probably one of my favorite oneshots every. I was so engaged and the time flew by so quickly. The vibes were immaculate and the story was engaging and well themed. I would recommend this for anyone looking to play and to also learn more about the nuances of the game.
