HEARTS IN HAVENPORT - Tales of Blood and Love

Can only do three tags, but it's honestly pretty much all of them. I've been playing with marko for over half a year now and can honestly say this guy is one of the best I've played with, and has become a good friend. Marko enjoys playing music, setting the mood, and having visual aids throughout the campaign which really helps for some incredible roleplaying. He also has a very open-door policy, and absolutely loves being thrown cool character ideas. Marko actively asks for feedback and makes changes based on what the players want. He's very understanding too. We all have lives outside of TTRPGs, so if you can't make it to a session that's no problem at all which has been great. For example, we are starting a new campaign and I go to him asking if it's possible in the system to have a character with certain powers. It isn't by rules, but does Marko care? Nope! This man pulls up a sorcery that doesn't exist in the game because he can and thinks it would be fun for a character like that. Does that always happen? No, this man has a life. But the amount of efforts he puts into his games shows. Most of the time I tend to not like posting reviews, and try to stay away from it but after sticking around for 248 hours worth of game time... He deserves it. Give him a try!

Marko is one of the BEST GMs I've had the pleasure to play with. He is exceptionally great at building a world and all the interactions you could possibly want. He creates worlds you want to be in.

He was my first GM and one of the main reasons why I am probably addicted to Tabletop RPGs. We played that first campaign for 2 and a half years and it was always something to look forward to. His world-building is amazing and I never got the feeling that something is out of place. On top of that, I've never seen him caught off guard by some question or an action that we took. In one instance, I unexpectedly went to visit one location in a game, and what I got was my most memorable moment in the campaign. The description and the whole setup was awesome, I got chills just thinking about it now. Another thing I want to mention is his ability to enable every player to play his style of game, up to a point :) If you are a creative player, he will not only let you rock your thing, but he will probably reward you with some more lore about the world, some cool interaction, or maybe even a cool item. But, if you are not that creative, like me, you won't feel punished for it, you will still get a lot of your personal lore and storytelling. I definitely recommend this GM and if I had more free time, I would join every campaign :)

Marko has been absolutely wonderful to play with!!

I had an amazing experience joining Marko's Vampire: The Requiem 2nd Edition game! As someone completely new to this system, I was a bit nervous—but Marko went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. He let me join the table hours before the session began, patiently walked me through character creation, and explained everything clearly so I could jump in with confidence. What truly stood out was how rich, immersive, and fully fleshed out his world is. Every NPC, faction, and location has depth and weight. Marko really leans into the vampire genre—capturing the politics, horror, temptation, and tragedy that make it so compelling. The atmosphere is dark and full of tension in all the right ways. You can feel the story waiting to unfold around every corner. The players at the table were also incredible—welcoming, creative, and great at roleplaying. I felt like part of the coterie from the very beginning, which made the whole experience even better. This was my first time playing Vampire: The Requiem 2nd Edition, and I’m already hooked. I absolutely got my money’s worth—and then some. Marko delivered a top-tier experience that exceeded expectations on every level. I seriously can’t wait for the next session. If you ever get the chance to play in one of his games, take it. You’re in for something special. 10/10 Game Master. Highly recommended.

This was my first game with Marko and my first time playing a Vampire rpg. He brought the game to life with varied characters, created a fantastic sense of atmosphere and let me try things that felt cool, even if they (perhaps) weren't strictly in the rules. I'd play with him again.
