About me

I played DnD 1st edition back in the age of stone knives and bearskins, all during high school, college, and a bit after. My interest (fever?) has been rekindled and I'm looking to play some 5e. I've spend a career in media arts and nonprofits based around those. I'm a filmmaker (is anyone ever a "former filmmaker"), I've acted, including voice work, educator, and now I'm a partner in a consultancy that works with nonprofits on innovation, strategy, and social ventures.

Manu

New review

Played 5 sessions

It has been a great pleasure playing with Manu as DM. I am in a homebrew campaign with him, and it is rich with intrigue and layers. His rulings are fair and transparent, his milestone approach is new and interesting to me, and his balance of keeping us on our toes and occasionally throwing us a bone when we are either dense or unlucky is appreciated. I especially appreciate the post-game discussions of rulings and play. They are very insightful.

Kobold King

Played 8 sessions

As of the writing of this review, I've played 5 sessions with Kobald King and I am enjoying myself immensely. He paints an awesome picture of the action, manages both combat and interactions with flare, and his NPCs are top notch! You will very much enjoy how he allows some creative play, mixing rule-of-cool with RAW in ways that are true to both letter and spirit of our game. He also runs a highly inclusive table and does frequent check-ins to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves, and the game. I highly recommend!

I'm happy to recommend Keith to you. I have not been a member of a campaign he's DM'd, but we've been compatriots in an adventuring party for a while now and I can tell you that he is knowledgeable and creative, as well as an awesome storyteller. He's great with beginners but can also spin a tale to intrigue veteran players. I know you'll enjoy your game. I'll be looking forward to when he has a game at a time I can make.

Bo

Played 87 sessions

I hadn't played since the 1980s, and Bo was absolutely the right DM for my reintroduction to the game. His campaigns are both rich and beginner-friendly, and I greatly appreciate his generous time spent outside the game to get newbies up to speed. I highly recommend him! It's been a while since I wrote the above review. I now play in two DnD 5e games with Bo as DM and enjoy it very, very much. The past two sessions, one in each campaign, have been over-the-top fun and I once again highly recommend taking your adventure with Bo!
