WHY BOOK A GAME WITH DM FOR HIRE?

You may be asking yourself, 'Why would I pay you to run a game for me when there are free groups being run around my area, or my friends and I could just do it ourselves?'

Here's why:

1. You don't own any of the books, or know
    anyone that does, and you don't want to
    invest the money and time necessary to
    understand how to run a game with your
    friends. You just want to play!

2. All of the gaming groups in your area don't
    have games going that mix well with your
    schedule.

3. There are no existing gaming groups in
       your area.

4. There are gaming groups in your area, but
    you don't want to hang around hobby
    store with a bunch of kids to play.

5. You'd rather this be a private event for you
    and your friends.

6. You want to be able to drink alcohol and/or
    order outside food while you play and the
    hobby stores do not allow this.

MEDIA COVERAGE

Dungeon Master for Hire has been operating for over 7 years now, and in the process I have come across many media opportunities to advertise my business.  One such opportunity was when I was approached by Pete Morey of CBC to do an audio documentary on my business.  Over the summer of 2017 we did several recordings in the studio and here at my 'dungeon'.  The finished product, a 27 minute audio documentary, was aired on CBC radio (99.1), which brought me a lot of media attention and calls from several other journalists, (links below) , looking to do a story on my idea.  The audio documentary was also aired on SiriusXM.

                    BADBADNOTGOOD VIDEO - LAVENDER                 

 Around the time that I started this business, I had the good fortune enough to make some connections with a some awesome individuals from a production company who thought that a Dungeons and Dragons scenario would be a great idea for a music video for one of their clients; a music group called Badbadnotgood. This video was directed by Fantavious Fritz and produced by Jason Aita. The band, Badbadnotgood, includes Matthew Tavares on keys, Chester Hansen on bass, Leland Whitty on saxophone, and Alexander Sowinski on drums. They are known for their interpretations of hip hop tracks and their collaborations with Tyler, The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Danny Brown, and Ghostface Killah.

 Anyway, enjoy the video, and watch for my promotional bit at the end. I love the way it turned out. A very cool experience. My thanks to the band and to Fantavious Fritz and Jason Aita for including me in this project.

REVIEWS 

'Hired John for an 8h adventure for a friend's bachelor party and had a blast. 2 years later we still reminisce about that night and continuing where we left off.  FYI my friends and I have no D&D background. I hired John for an 8h noob friendly adventure for my friend's bachelor party. John was responsive, courteous, and professional from the moment I inquired about his service all the way to the end of the night. He arrived on time with all of his equipment and got us started pretty quickly on our fantasy adventure. John brought along props, a speaker for background music/sound effects, a costume, and some surprisingly fantastic voice acting.

 

It very clear that John had a lot of experience with D&D. He taught us what we needed to know in a short amount of time and guided us through the game despite our lack of experience. He is a quick thinker that took our inebriated decisions and..."creativity"and seamlessly incorporated it into our adventure. With all of the materials he brought along and the voice acting where he played out multiple roles, he was able to immerse us into the world. Not once did we feel disengaged from the game.

 I would highly recommend John if D&D was something you and your friend's were interested in starting or if you just want to have a fun one time experience.

 P.S. Don't forget to feed your DM if you're doing a long session :) '
