Our Professional Dungeon Master Team

Professional Dungeon Master Dax Levine

Dax Levine

Dax Levine loves epic fantasy, but he didn’t expect to become a full-time professional Dungeon Master entertaining clients from all over the world. He started as a lowly theater kid and improv performer who leveled up by earning his Bachelor of Science in Psychology and his Master of Business Administration. In early 2020, he founded Dungeon Master Direct to professionally host online Dungeons & Dragons campaigns as a side hustle, but four months later he had to quit his day job to keep up with the accelerated demand for his brand of epic storytelling! He now manages an entire team of professional Dungeon Masters, teaches his skills online and at conferences, and writes novels on the side. He lives in Utah with an old border collie and his lovely wife. They are raising two children whom he hopes will also grow up to be professional nerds someday.

Dax Testimonials

“As a Dungeon Master, Dax’s best skill is his ability to immerse players in the world of the game. Through music and his vocal acting, he is able to weave a story as the players, well, play! He is really good at reading players and intelligently adapting to their needs. For example he was great at interweaving my backstory elements into the larger story!

And the man can tell a story! From creating beloved NPCs to introducing incredible plot twists, Dax is the man you want as Dungeon Master.

I don’t compare anyone to Matthew Mercer lightly, but Dax Levine is a Mercer-level Dungeon Master.”

“I have a hard time separating my love for D&D from the experiences I had playing in Dax’s campaigns, as they are entwined. He is truly an immersive, collaborative Dungeon Master. His storytelling skills draw you in, and around every corner are wonders and delightful surprises. (Even the “bad” surprises are somehow still delightful.)

But beyond the power of his own words and narrative comes the power of knowing that YOU also helped create this story. Dax has a deft hand when it comes to weaving in backstories, giving characters important crossroad choices, and making sure that you, the player, are having a good time and telling the story you want to tell.”

“First, Dax sets the tone with background music. His deep baritone voice describes the heavily wooded area your party is traversing. His vivid descriptions make the world around you tangible, and you could almost swear you actually feel the crunch of dead leaves and twigs beneath your feet.

The music turns dramatic. An arrow flies by your face. Your heart starts racing. You roll initiative and fear for your life.

With Dax, you don’t get two-dimensional NPCs or world. You get the intense immersion expected from a master.”

– Trevor S., Tax Attorney, California
(Elf Cleric)

“Dax was one of the first Dungeon Masters I ever had, and to this day he remains the best by far. I am still amazed at how good he is at helping players of all skill-levels have a good time.

Dax is prepared for every session. He crafts thrilling adventures that provide players fun opportunities to improvise and develop their characters.

The NPCs he creates are detailed and fun. Dax’s voice acting is incredible, and the intricacy of the stories and worlds he builds never ceases to impress. ”
