I will try and touch on all the main points of being a GM, from my POV. I have been playing weekly with David for over 3 years David is a hard-working, dedicated GM who goes the extra mile to create a good atmosphere. You see it in all the small/big things like the Foundry server, use of music/mood, etc. He knows the rules deeply but doesn't bring his ego into it and when he makes a mistake is candid and frank. While not a trained voice actor, he does a nice job of bringing life to the NPCs and giving them personality. He does not hold that party's hand. He gives the players complete agency. If you succeeded on a knowledge check and found that the critter is immune to fire and two rounds later the wizard wants to cast a fireball, David happily accommodates them. In summation, David is easy going yet earnest and dedicated and creates a great gaming experience.
