Outlaws of Alkenstar

Expert understanding of the rules and game system. Puts in the time before session to review the monster abilities to make sure fights are challenging but also not bogged down by having to look up effects. Very good at "reading the room" in terms of deciding when to let players roleplay and when to push them towards the next objective

Vhaidara is an amazing and terrific GM. She welcomed my wife and I to the game (actually found players for the game when we signed up which was amazing!) and helped teach the rules and system to my wife and I. She is amazingly patient as well as we have 4 kids and randomly are needed by them which she understands, as well as being understanding and giving us time when my service dog suddenly passed away, always checking in on me and seeing how I was holding up through the grieving process. I cant express how fortunate we feel to have found such an amazing, friendly, and fun GM to play with. We love playing in her games and we are hoping to join more in the future.

Top 3 favorite DM remote and in person. You can tell she really enjoys DMing. She has a lot of fun and well received home brews for certain situations that makes a lot of sense. A good balance with raw and player freedom.

Had a few games with them GMing and playing (not at the same time!) in a couple of Living World / Westmarch style on-line VTTRPG servers. Great at both, always very happy to share a table with her! :-) She's also been a great help with me getting to grips with the rules of a couple of unfamiliar systems. She has outstanding knowledge & understanding of her chosen systems. She's also good at not letting games get bogged down by rule debates in game, and happy to chat about the rulings after the game is over. I will note I've only been in more crunchy / combat focused games with her (think Pathfinder 2nd ed & similar), so can't comment on how they are with other styles of game (like, say Cthulu or Fate). That's not to say I think she'd be bad - on the contrary, I think they'd be great, and I'd be 100% interested for being in those games ran by her! Just I've no relevant experience outside the battle-mapping particular tabletop niche with which to recommend them. But I definitely would suggest them for GMing a crunchy / combat focused game without hesitation. :-)

A fun GM who does great work and helps players out when they're mistaken about some of their features will remind them about how it works

They are kind and helpful
