1st session, Cai had a scenario that had juicy combat and some role play investigation with a hook into the next session. He was helpful with Savage Pathfinder rules and operation of Foundry VTT, these slowed down the session but he was patient and allocated enough time, really solid pacing. This was 5-star fun and I'm sure the next session will dial it up even higher.

Solid guy. Very patient with those learning the rules (and forgetting them) while providing a laid back atmosphere where everyone has a good time. Gives a lot of freedom with your characters and adapts and clearly has a passion for being a DM. Would highly recommend.

I have greatly enjoyed playing under Cai. He creates an immersive experience, works with his players to make sure they are getting the best experience possible, and is very good at adapting to the actions of his players. I highly recommend him to people looking for a game to play.

Cai games are always fun.

He was able to slip in my new character into an in-progress campaign pretty easily. He knew the rules and how the VTT operated very well, and was able to help me out to do what I wanted to do.

Cai is a wonderful gm who treats his games like a job, more so than I’ve seen others do. His goal is to professionally make a story in which every player has fun, and he does an excellent job of it.

How to prepare
Please re-read the content warnings as those topics will appear in the campaign at one time or another and if any of them are a red-line for you, this campaign is probably not a good fit. No harassment, abuse, or debasement of other players will be permitted. Players who feel like causing emotional harm to their fellows is part of the fun will not be tolerated and will be ejected from the game. You will need either a PC or Mac-compatible PC with broadband internet access and electricity to play in this game; a mouse with left and right buttons, as well as a third button and mouse wheel is optimal for online use of Foundry VTT. You will need a Discord account to access the game chat. The Foundry VTT runs on a modern web browser, so there is nothing to install if you have a browser on your computer. If you have an older computer, you might consider using the Foundry Lightweight Client, which is a free lightweight web browser that gives you the most bang for your machine's capabilities. You can get it for free here: https://flc.ruleplaying.com/ If you intend to speak in the voice channel on Discord, you should have a headset with a microphone. *You will be required to set up a push-to-talk button*; you are, however, free to communicate to the group using text only in Discord, but you will then need speakers to hear their chat and the game sounds. Special text-only sessions are available for the deaf and hard of hearing. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you'd like to schedule one. Bringing a friend or two would help ensure we don't need to recruit additional players. While text-only is actually my preferred method of play, it does seem difficult to organize those games. Instructions for setting up the push-to-talk button and installing all the needed software are available on my Discord channel (#getting-started), to which you will be supplied a link when you join. You could read the quick start rules to Savage Worlds Adventurers Edition (SWADE) if you like, but, the system is quick and intuitive, so you’ll have the opportunity to learn through playing the game if you like that better than reading books. Players do not need to have any knowledge of the rules, although a basic familiarity with the movies is recommended.
What I provide
The ruleset and adventures we’ll be using plus an extensive knowledge of the the game setting. I pay for all the licenses for the software used in the campaign, so you wont have any additional costs besides the session fees. You only need to bring yourself and a willingness to have an awesome time.
