"If you are looking for a professional Generation X GM who is highly accomplished (they don't give out captaincy of nuclear submarines to just anybody) and takes GMing SERIOUSLY (while still having a ton of fun) this is absolutely your guy. You get what you pay for, and you get a top of the line experience with this GM. I've only got enough slack time in my life for ONE three hour game a week, and I want the best that there is, and that's Admiral."

- Veteran Attorney

"I enjoy playing with Admiral because he allows us to really have fun in the game RP and combat-wise. I play a wall character and he lets me really explore and have fun. "

-Professional Bass Fisherman

"Great with visual aids and also does voices! very helpful and patient to anyone starting but still manages to keep the pace and get the story going. Really checks up on the players and makes sure everyone is happy. Highly recommended! Thank you, I'm very happy to have started with you!"

-Beginner Player (D&D)

"Helpful seminar that set me up with the right software. A good overview to take if you want your players to not just hear you properly, but hear you completely (and not hear your keyboard completely)."

- TOTAL IMPROV D&D (Montreal)

"If I could click all the tags for this review I would. I am a beginner to D&D, somewhat. Brody is the first DM that has been able to teach me how the game works out of a few futile attempts from the past with others, he succeeded.

Brody has a good sense of humor (thankfully) and rolls with wherever your creativity takes you during roll playing. His many voices for the characters in game was great which inspired me to do better as well. If you check out his YouTube page it has examples of the in game visuals, they're animated folks. 😳 He also had sound effects and RPG mood music playing in the background while in game, the whole time. I mean, even in his how to play D&D class. 👌

Finally, Brody knows the game well from his 40 years of experience playing. He is cool as a cucumber and great at keeping things progressing without making you feel rushed. Brody is fun to RP with folks. Hit him up for a game, you will have a good time. 😁"

-Alaskan Tribal Chief

"I attended Brody's workshop on audio engineering. Based on what I witnessed there, I can attest that Brody is the sort of GM who is always thinking of how to improve the experience of the players at his table. The amount of thought and work he has put into preparing his soundscape shows, and I would not be surprised if this translated to other areas of his GMing. He's also patient and understanding in addition to being a great teacher. For the GMs, his audio workshop was great at explaining concepts that fed into the programs he showed us, and this rendered approachable a number of things I would have been daunted by before. As such, I highly recommend the audio workshop. For the players, my experience placed Brody on my shortlist of fellow professional GMs whose games I'd like to try at some point, schedule permitting."

-Professional GM on StartPlaying Games

"I really enjoy how this GM interacts with his players and puts our ideas into campaigns. I like the visual aid and the sounds he puts out during and out of combat. Roleplaying is enjoyable and voices that he does and tries adds more effect in his NPCs. "

-Nurse

"I acquired a thorough understanding of microphone setup and Windows configuration, as well as voice meter software. Through my efforts, I was able to resolve various audio issues, including some I was previously unaware of. This newfound knowledge equips me with the tools necessary to enhance my players' gaming experience in the future through optimal audio quality. This seminar is definitely recommended."

-Professional GM on StartPlaying Games

"The Admiral runs a tight game. His military experience plays a huge role in the organization of the games, he is always prepared. He is very accommodating to player creativity, but will put a stop to nonsense. If there is something he is unsure of, he will put in the extra time to research a balanced way to make it work. He uses excellent visual aids that he creates himself that will paint a picture of the terrain or enemies. He balances role play and combat, so there are opportunities for all sorts of players. He will test your party's capabilities at first, and then challenge them in different ways. I look forward to my games with The Admiral every week. If you are a veteran, this is the DM for you. Even if you're not a veteran, he will be a top contender among the DMs on this site. Highly recommended! "

-Retired Veteran

"The Admiral is an EXCELLENT DM! He has a Vast amount of visual aids, music, and sound bytes to make you feel as if you are actually there. He is awesome at roleplay, using various voices and personalities as he interacts with the party; bringing vitality to the story line. In combat and in how the groups are run, his military background shows well, its strategic and challenging, but not too mind melting; Giving backing to how fluid The Admiral's play style is. He really is the DM for you that listens to you"
