Rick Raible

TLDR: I can't necessarily describe a great DM (but I'll try), but I know one when I see one. This is a great DM. Player view: He adjusted to the audience given him and allowed for each player to have their moment in the one-shot I attended. Superior RP and plot line to follow. Gave enough clues to the mystery without handing it to us (see: adjusting to audience). Well developed towns and world maps to provide a full, open-world experience. What makes it interesting is that he works ad-hoc inventions that are "on the fly" decisions into the greater vision, allowing for players to use unique combinations that aren't simply "YouTube inventions" (my term, not his). DM Perspective as a player: I'm pretty much a forever DM, and from my experience there are 3 things: Rules (when rule of cool is invoked, he does it with purpose), Tools (utilizes VTT, Discord and Music to full effect) and Story (full RP with planned ad hoc narration). It's difficult to find a DM that has a a mastery of all 3. This guy is a triple threat, with a mastery of all 3.
