Erick is an enthusiastic and fun GM. His homebrewed adventure included pre-made characters with unique goals and backstories. He masterfully leverages Foundry VTT to create immersive atmospheres. I'd highly recommend him!

Erick knew everything inside and out: his (very fun) self-written one-shot, all the characters, and all the rules. With that knowledge and confidence, he was able to keep the game moving along in a fun and engaging way. The players who were less familiar with the mechanics got friendly and helpful support, those more familiar got to stretch their creativity, and everything came together for a well-crafted story. Erick also deftly handled a split party--rarely easy to do! All in all a strong recommendation and I would happily play with Erick again.

Erick was a great GM. I am a new player and had a lot of fun in Erick's game. Erick was well-organized, knowledgeable, and very patient with everyone when people had questions or technical difficulties.

Erick is an amazing DM! He had challenging and engaging encounters. His storytelling was great. Each character were well thought out and had interconnecting stories that forced us to interact with each other. It was much more than just rolling for damage the whole time.

How to prepare
Make sure you have a computer with the latest up to date browser from Chrome, Firefox or Edge. Safari unfortunately does not work with Foundry VTT. Make sure your browser has WebGL enabled. A good headphones and microphone is required. A webcam is highly suggested but not required. Foundry does tend to be a video RAM and/or RAM resource hog. For this make sure that you have a integrated GPU to enable hardware acceleration and 8gb of RAM. Must have a display that is no smaller than 1366x768. Most modern computes can do this with maybe an exception of Chromebooks.
What I provide
Upon confirmation I will provide the link to the website online where we will be using Foundry Virtual Tabletop to play the game. The game will have the choice of characters with their character sheets already set up.
