Testimonials

Sean’s story telling ability is OUT OF THIS WORLD! He keeps all of his players engaged through his excellent sense of drama through his mood setting abilities, especially through voice acting and excellent musical selection. Incredibly thoughtful in crafting individual sessions, each character always has something special to bring to our adventure, while also seeming to be crafting a beautiful meta-narrative right under our noses. I always look forward to our sessions because I know for certain he will deliver a night we will remember.

-Chelsie C.

“Sean’s games are very immersive and entertaining. He’s a great DM for new and veteran players alike.”

-Matt B

“Sean’s knowledge and worldbuilding made playing D&D with him fun and exciting. He was always willing to adapt to our interests and made playing enjoyable for everyone. He actually fit our campaign around my character’s backstory, which made the storyline more engaging.”

-Melissa C

“Sean is great with newbies. My friend and I were new to the experience, literally knew nothing and forgot our spells every game until the end of our campaign, yet he kept the patience of a saint throughout! Sean is awesome and if you don’t play with him you’re missing out!”

-Melissa C

“Role playing, puzzle solving, and combat were all so much fun with my group. Sean kept us all wanting more.”

-Matt B

“Playing through Tomb of Annihilation was a blast, I would totally play in Sean’s D&D group again.”

-Matt B

“We would play a session every week. And after every one all I could think about is what I wanted to do next time or how I could prepare against his villain.”

-Matt B

“Our group of friends were looking for something new to do and hired Sean to do a weekly DnD get together. None of us had ever played and he walked us through every step to get started and keep our game going. He’s knowledgeable, adaptive, and encouraging and we look forward to every adventure. Sean is incredible at tailoring each night in a way that helps us have fun while learning the game and being challenged in new ways. The coolest thing is how much he listens to the group and sets up each member as well as our party for success and fun.”

-Matt F

“I hadn't played D&D in 30 years, but Sean looked over my character, and during play guided me through the mechanics. He was generous with his time and made sure I was having fun. Sean as DM was a great re-introduction to RPGs!”

-Lee F

“Sean has worked for years as an actor, director, writer and leader and now pours those skills into a trade that has a high demand for all four and it truly shows. An unstoppable force that will pull interesting characters out of you in ways you didn't think you were capable of.”

-Shea M

“As a DM, Sean is kind, patient, and only a little mean when the story calls for it.😜 I feel so, so grateful to have been introduced to the world of D&D through his words and welcoming attitude. Now he’s not just my DM, he’s also somebody I consider a dear friend. He pours his heart and soul into the game, and it makes all of us at the table want to rise to the occasion and be more invested players. Can’t imagine my life without D&D now, all thanks to him!”

-Alexa B

“ I’d never played D&D before when Sean started organizing a game with my roommate and some mutual friends at my apartment. I came home one night from work and happened upon their first session, so I joined in on a temporary basis... and I immediately fell in love with the game, which is almost entirely because of the way Sean brings each session and story to life.”

-Alexa B

“ Sean is an extremely fun GM and group storyteller. He brings a potent mix of preparedness and willingness to collaborate that truly elevates the group experience!”

-Mason C

“With Sean, it’s more than just playing a game. His sheer commitment, dedication, ingenuity, and creativity lets us explore and live in a fully breathing, functioning, high stakes world.”

-Benny M

“Sean has a certain knack for narrative. Playing DnD with him is like opening a good fantasy novel--only you have some agency over what's about to happen. He's always trying to find some interesting opportunities for your characters to explore and challenge themselves and leads the sessions in a way that always leaves you satisfied at its conclusion.”

-Gordon B

“He was great at finding the balance between encouraging the players to joke around and explore our characters and pushing ahead in the story. Overall, best DM ever.”

-Ryan A

“Dnd can get complicated with all of the numbers to keep track of, but Sean has one of the best memories of any DM I’ve ever met, so even with large games and multiple combats going on, he was able to keep track of everything happening, and still help newer players figure out which dice they needed to roll.”

-Ryan A

“Because Sean is an actor, he was able to use his skills to really bring all of the NPCs we’d encounter to life, giving them all different accents, body language, and movement patterns. It made the game way more immersive, but also easy to keep track of who is who. He applies those storytelling skills to set up the in-game world as well, painting a beautiful picture of what your surroundings look like at any given moment.”

-Ryan A

“Excellent GM. Strong storytelling.”

-James S

“Sean's got a real knack for making even the simplest encounter feel complex and real. He keeps us on our toes and strikes a perfect balance between making players feel powerful and scaring their socks off.”

-Nick B
