"Very helpful for new players. Helped me figure out how to setup my character before hand and gave me some useful tips. During the session he helped explain things and offered up in world hints towards things when needed"

"Lloyd is a really patient and supportive GM, which is perfect for beginners. He's able to explain all the concepts clearly and applies them in game. His campaigns have some really interesting and creative story elements to explore, with a atmospheric soundscape that pulls you into the game. He knows how to set the players up to have a great time!"

 "In many fantasy settings, blood is said to be a potent source of arcane power. The Blood Mage aims to prove it.

It provides three distinct subclasses, each of which has interesting mechanics encouraging to try different builds and concepts.

A big compendium of creative spells supports this variety, as those clearly were created with synergies in mind. Many of them are subclass exclusive to help define the identity of each subclass. I was pleasantly surprised about the seven cantrips the class offers, as each serves a different purpose. The rest of the spell list fits the class' theme well and the amount of spells that are at the Blood Mage's disposal at any time rivals that of a preparation caster, making it very versatile.

If you enjoy playing spellcasters and making tactical decisions, you should take a look at this class, as it offers strong magic at the cost of one's own vitality. It could backfire or save the day, that's on you – and perhaps the dice. "

"Lloyd is great with beginners, he makes learning D&D fun and enticing. His characters draw you into the story. I have played a number off games with Lloyd as a DM before he joined StartPlaying. He provides us as players with multiple sources from all over, as well as using visual and sound effects in his games. When the games aren't running, he keeps avenues open for contact so we can discuss things if we feel the need to. I started as a beginner with Lloyd, and he helped walk me through the rules and settings. More than just being good as a DM, Lloyd use helps players to utilise sites such as D&D Beyond and Roll20. All in all, I would highly recommend him as a DM."
