Rob ticks all the boxes for what makes a great DM. He is enthusiastic, provides immersion (vibrant character voices, setting descriptions, etc.), and best of all, is incredibly patient. Whether you are a new or seasoned player, Rob is always ready to help you. His compassion combined with his skill is what makes him a phenomenal DM.
Rob gave us a very fun dungeon crawl with puzzles and combat interspersed. He created a good atmosphere and managed our occasionally unconventional decisions very well.
Played with folks I'd known a long time, and Rob was not only willing to put up with our chaos but helped us craft a fun story. Really appreciated it!
I'm a D&D newbie, and had a great first experience thanks to Rob!
This was so much fun! I haven't played a TTRPG in a few years and this was the perfect way to jump back in. Rob is patient and funny; his acting background shows in great voices, improv, and timing. Would definitely book a longer session!
My Daughter and I spent an hour in Icewind dale and had a great Time! The DM did a great job helping my daughter learn the platform, patience and immersive. We both are looking forward to a future game!
Great story teller with a good sense of humor
This was my first time playing virtually, and it had been a very long time since I've played at all. Robert had everything prepared, and helped get us setup. He did a great job moving things along, while still giving us room to play things out if we wanted. Great storytelling, acting, and GM, and a perfect introduction back into D&D!
For a second time, Robert was fantastic with lots of well played acting and nicely prepared maps and music. I higly recommend playing with him as he is very supportive and creative.
Very fun and nicely compacted into a 2 hour session! This was my first time playing with people I hadn't met in person and I had a great time.
