DM for Hire

Due to recent covid-19 social distancing concerns, Dungeon Master for Hire is now also available for remote games using Zoom. Groups can now play from the comfort of their homes, and my Dungeon Challenges will also be offered remotely using this method. Before booking Dungeon Master for Hire for a remote game, please make sure that you have Zoom installed. Once the crisis has ended, Dungeon Master for Hire will continue to operate both live and remote games. Stay safe everyone, and keep making those Constitution checks.....let the adventure continue....

WELCOME TO DUNGEON MASTER FOR HIRE

Are you lacking a little adventure in your life? Have you heard people talking about role-playing games like, 'Dungeons and Dragons', and wondered what it's all about? Would you and your friends like to try a game but you don't own the books, or know anyone who plays? Well look no further! Dungeon Master for Hire has everything you need to get you on the road to adventure!

Dungeon Master for Hire is a TORONTO rpg-hosting service that brings the dungeon to your door, anywhere in TORONTO, (ONTARIO, CANADA). Before reading on, please note that:

1) DM for Hire is based in TORONTO, ONTARIO. This service does not host games outside of

the host location in Scarborough, without additional travel costs (detailed below under

prices). For those of you that are outside of my regular service area,(Scarborough to West Toronto) who wish live games, the travel cost will involve an ride from my Scarborough

location to your location, and back again after the game, in addition to other travel costs for my time, depending on where you are.

2) This service has always operated as an 'in-person' table-top' gaming experience. However,

due to recent covid-19 social distancing concerns, this service will be operating remotely using Zoom. Prices will remain as indicated below, minus of course travel fees which will

not apply to remote games. If booking a remote game for yourself or a group, please make sure that you, or you and the members of your group have installed Zoom and are proficient in using it to connect.

3) For those of you outside of my service area, in Canada or other parts of the world who desire a live DM, please see my 'DMs Near You' page. Here you will find a list of Dungeon Masters around the world, who are doing what I'm doing.

Each 4 hour session includes 3 dimensional dungeons, creepy sound effects and other game-enhancing surprises, for an unforgettable gaming experience! Book a group game for you and your friends at your location or mine, play in a group of people you don't know in one of the Monthly Dungeon Challenges, (at my dungeon!), or even play one-on-one with the Dungeon Master in solo play! Dungeon Master for Hire has just celebrated it's first year of operation and is going strong! Let the adventure continue...

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 :) '

CBC AUDIO DOCUMENTARY

I have been operating for over a year now, and in the process I have come across many wonderful opportunities. One such opportunity was when I was approached by Pete Morey of CBC to do an audio documentary on my business. I of course jumped on this, and over the course of the summer we did several recordings in the studio and here at my 'dungeon'. The finished product, a 27 minute audio documentary, will be aired on CBC radio (99.1) on October 31st, at 11:30 am, and on November 3rd at 1:00 pm. It will also be aired on SiriusXM on Oct. 31 at 11:30 am, Nov. 3 at 8:00 am, and Nov. 6

Below is the website to find the story on, 'The Doc Project' (CBC Radio), which includes the podcast of the audio documentary on Dungeon Master for Hire:

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.
