About me
I run games and publish content. I could go into more detail, but you're looking for a DM, not a story, that comes during the game. My greatest strengths are mechanics and adventures. I am very well versed in the mechanics of the game and classes. I stick close to the RaW but I'm not opposed to bending some rules.
GM Style
For combat I am quite good with the game mechanics and combat. I make interesting and challenging combat sessions in games unless the players actively prefer an easier combat game. In RP terms the world is a living place. The NPCs and world will react to you depending on how you react to/treat them. I do well with NPC characterization, and decent with voices. If left to their own devices NPCs will get up to their own things, and someone you left in a tavern might pop up again if you're headed in the same direction. For adventure I have many varied different encounters and interesting places for players to explore. From combat areas, to puzzles, to social interactions when you don't expect them, every adventure is packed with various different encounters.

Tim is an excellent fair, and neutral DM. He will create the structured foundation and really allow players to build of it.

I've been playing with Tim for years now. He is great at accomodating whatever playstyle the group enjoys. I've played both serious and crazy games and with different amount of house rules. The game is always just challenging enough to be fun without being punishingly difficult. Tim also has plenty of experience to make sure that the mechanics don't drag the game down.

I've played with Tim for a little over two years now. He is very knowledgeable about any module he runs (to the point where , knows the rules very well but also isn't afraid to admit he was wrong, and runs combat very efficiently while allowing players freedom to be creative and not just "move, attack, repeat." Overall, Tim is a wonderful DM that puts a lot of effort into making sure players enjoy the game

I've been playing in one of Tim's campaigns for sometime now, and I can honestly say he's an amazing DM. He makes the games challenging and fun, and has taught me a lot about DnD in the process. Also - he's very much open to rule of cool and also customising characters, which is fun in itself. When I'm looking for a campaign, I always want to really feel like it's going somewhere - Tim guides that to happen. I'm currently playing in his Tyranny of Dragons campaign, and the adventures and situations that we've faced have been incredibly unique and so fun. I really like how he plays NPC's as actually being clever, not just a stat block. Finally - he's a very friendly & approachable chap, so I would highly recommend this guy and would play in one of his campaigns again.

Tim is an incredibly knowledgable GM who's a blast to play with.
