The Invisible Fortress

Beginners or e spent Lrsly can hang with them all, he was very paicent, I was new to exalted and getting back in to gameing, he was willing to do a lot of hand holding. But was willing to get in to the paint with creative concepts and rules. It was so much fun my circle rejoined him for an Infernal exalted game. One of the best GM’s I ever had and worth the money, for the planing, the resources and advice.

An excellent Storyteller who is incredibly fair and is able to assist new and old players alike make the most of the settings and themes.

He managed to make an exciting game that didn't make me feel like I had to create some super optimal killing machine in order to manage. If anything, I felt like I wasn't living up to the potential I could go with, and I'm more than happy to move over to his group game to pick up the plot where I left off.

I've played in several games with Lesley now and he always creates a richly detailed and exciting world. He goes to great lengths to prepare for each session and does tons of background reading, both of the game's books and of other inspirational works (like real life history). I enthusiastically recommend Lesley as a GM, and have had a great deal of fun in every game we've played!

Lesley puts a LOT of in depth work into the prep for sessions and games, knows the worlds he guids his players through and is deeply passionate about Dming. Hey plays with the players, not against them but still inflicts consecuenses for actions. 10/10 would kill a loved one again, convinced it is a double.

Lesley has been a GM for well over a decade and a player for about 2 decades and it shows. His wealth of knowledge is insane. You'd think he was the keeper of all things World of Darkness/Exalted given the amount of long conversations/rants we've gone on about the two worlds. He knows a lot about other games outside of the old White Wolf IP's as well. This is useful for his story/game building. For about 4-5 months now I've been a player in several of his games (Vampire 20th Ann. Mage 20th Ann, Exalted 2nd) and it's clear to me the guy can run a vast variety of game types and does it well. Hell if it wasn't for meeting him in another Roll20 game I'd never have learned of Exalted or known all the things I do now for World of Darkness games (more specifically Mage and Vampire with sprinklings of everything else) Dungeon crawling, exploration, political/social intrigue, a mix and match of all and more, the guy is prolific for sure. Not to mention he, for the most part, is fair to his players and doesn't exclude anybody from having a moment, gaining something, or feeling like they won't get a time to shine. His games as far as I've seen are incredibly balanced and he has been pretty adaptable to his players' choices and ideas. So far nothing he's thrown at us seems unfair or too punishing. That being said, it's not like you're playing creative mode Minecraft where nothing can touch you. If nothing is touching you your dice rolls are really good and your character's abilities along with how you've built them through the game will just make you feel godly for dealing with whatever challenge he throws at you. Besides, everybody knows the secret word for getting your DM to crush your party's morale. "This is too easy". Creativity and player agency is as important to him as it is too you. If you are struggling with a concept he's great for helping you flesh it out. He is very helpful in making that character work in your favour mechanically without sacrificing your agency in how the character is built. If anything he can build upon those ideas with you getting you amped up for what you're bringing to the table. He's always willing to listen if somebody is having a problem with how things are going game wise/character wise or what have you, and even if there is a constant issue he has incredible patience and is willing to talk it out. So don't be afraid to talk to him, just be polite and respectful and he'll show you the same courtesy. I'm not used to writing reviews for anything so I don't know if that helps anybody reading this and there is definitely more to his style, but I will end it off by saying it's a crime that I can only pick 3 tags to describe the guy. He excels at some more then others but the dude is well rounded in my opinion and pretty chill. You'll have fun playing some of his games for sure. Not to mention he's noob friendly to both new players and new DM's. Play his games people! It's worth it.
