Enki
Matt has great creativity and is able to weave together all of the threads of the characters in play. I've gamed with him on many tables with a variety of systems and he never fails to make it a fun time.
Todd
Matt is one of the best GM's I've ever played with. He's a great world builder and knows what he's doing. He allows the players to truly make up their own minds and make their own decisions. This means that sometimes the adventures go into unexpected and unplanned territory. Most GM's stick to "stories-on-rails", but Matt is able to roll with it, creating new obstacles and encounters on the fly. Matt's unique ability to do "think-on-your-feet" storytelling style keeps the campaigns fun and engaging!
Doc
Jording does a great job incorporating everyone into the shared story that you build as you campaign. Backgrounds get worked in so everyone can feel important and useful.
Saeradar
Very capable at controlling a game without railroading players. Great with on-the-fly storytelling and flowing with player decisions. Engaging and good at storytelling.
Hendell
Good pacing and interaction in a complex and time sensitive situation.
Tracy Gingell
It’s because of Matt that I fell in love with being a DM. His dedication to exploring and testing the rules makes him a true guru. His dedication even led him to run an adventure that went from sundown to sunup with a rotating cast of players. As a PC it’s the only time I ever had a beholder as a friend!

What I provide
Custom Virtual tabletop server (Foundry VTT) and discord server. I strive to deliver tightly prepared narration, encourage improvisation, roleplay, and character development/character arcs. Facilitating entertaining, and challenging fight scenes. Custom detailed maps, tokens, lighting, and battle map tools, special effects for power signatures, character effect animations. The adventure includes handouts of maps, key NPC dialog, news items, etc. The game server has background audio, including music and atmospheric foley.

How will character creation work
We will be making characters as part of session zero. If you'd prefer to make or select a published character, have it ready to add to the roster at session zero. Your character should be a young mutant whose powers have begun manifesting themselves in recent years. Characters are students at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Origin of Mutant or Artificial Mutant. Rank is capped at 3. In addition to making characters, players will establish backstories, relationships, and world building. You'll be introduced to the mansion that houses the school and participate in a Danger room exercise.
