As I am an addict, I need to get my DnD fix from time to time, and SpiritualDM82 delivers. He runs a great hack-and-slash one-shot adventure! By my count, there were 74 actively engaged enemy NPCs in the fight that each acted on their own initiative, and he controlled the pace well enough to keep the game moving smoothly in that absolutely wild, extreme circumstance. He has attracted a real following of some loyal players with whom it is a blast to play at the same table. He kicks adversity down the stairs! Despite repeated interruptions from quarrelling children at his house who absolutely needed an authority figure to step in to bring order and peace to the situation, he did not miss a beat and kept our game going while having yet another plate to keep spinning, and none of them fell before our time ran out. I look forward to when our schedules align for the next one.

Sincere and gracious human. Caringly crafted homebrew material with a deep respect for the real world mythology and culture. A fresh take on some truly ancient classics.

Anthony delivers a fun game that brings in the setting lore and hits those iconic challenges and opportunities that make people come back to DnD again and again. His Yuan-Ti menace and hiss, his hidden traps shoot arrows, and his subterranean dungeons have stone walls. If what you're after is not some subversion of the trope or re-invention of the wheel, but the real, swords-and-sorcery DnD game in the setting presented in the source material, you're going to have as much of a blast as I did. We had a new player at the table and a player with decades of experience in dozens of systems, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

In a world where prospective celebrity DMs' aspirations are to have the algorithm show thirty-second animated reels of their games, Cammi delivers an authentic experience. Rather than some ad of consumers screaming down the slide at a water park, Cammi's game is the guttering candle guiding an old man as he slowly lowers himself into a pool of cool water on a humid summer night. It's not a loud and bright concert, but a music box that plays a tune from when your grandmother was young -- wait, wasn't that destroyed in the fire? Success in Cammi's story does not flow from more pluses to your modifiers; genuine depth proceeds from your efforts to bring connection between yourself and the breathing, growing scene. Turning over a rock is not the solution to the puzzle, but a chance for (the threat of?) a glimpse of What Lies Beneath. Cammi brings a magnetic stage presence that is impossible to ignore, huge personal investment, and an energy you just can't find anywhere else.

Great knowledge of the rules and the VTT! Especially great pacing. The one-shot was engaging, and the ambiance ratcheted up the drama as we all felt the high stakes. This was, as advertised, mostly a combat one-shot, and though combat was exciting and tactical, there was still space for character beats and a certain twist. I won't spoil it for you! I would recommend, for sure.
