Everything Lou does is professional. From his interaction to new and returning faces to his inclusion of carefully curated scenes/NPCs/music, you can tell how much time and effort Lou dedicates to TTRPGs. His ability to cohesively intertwine a group of strangers with multiple play styles is second to none! No matter what system you play with Lou, you'll have a great time. I'm honored to be able to sit at his table!

Lou turns D&D into one of the best live action rpgs out there, the immersion from the music and visual aids is the best I've seen out there. He's always on top of the game and allows the player to make their character shine. An absolute blast to play in his games!

The production values were so high! He really kept the story moving in a fun way and was very knowledgeable about the material.

If only it would allow me to select more than 3 categories for this review. Lou is by far an amazing storyteller, i've explored games out of my comfort zone due to how well he runs campaigns. He seems to care a lot about his craft and is very creative. I'd suggest anyone looking to take a chance with him to go for it!!

Even if you're a beginner, he helps you out for whatever you need - be it just on how to use Foundry itself, ty just to the basics if you need help in creating your character or learning how to roleplay with it! I highly recommend Lou if you are looking for a session that has puzzles, fighting, and extreme roleplay, as he takes even the most surprising player decisions into account!
