A fantastic game master. Allows for the players to be creative. Calm and easy going, explains the rules and the systems clearly. Would recommend playing with Michael from Mars.

So very accommodating to those who bring unique ideas to the table! I came with a very unique concept and he knocked it out of the park, even able to integrate me mid-campaign so smoothly! Mars runs a very friendly and energetic table and encourages everyone to make connections to the world and with each other.

I have had a great time playing with Mars. He fosters a fun atmosphere and engages each player in their own way. I look forward to every session!

He runs very fun campaigns and one shots, and when I first started playing in his games, I was extremely new. However, he was very patient and had no issues helping me out when I encountered something I wasn't really sure how to handle. Stories are player driven, and he's always done a great job rolling with player decisions. He creates worlds with a myriad of NPC voices and types, uses roll20 for maps and always has something available to help set the scene for visuals. He also uses discord for voice and dndbeyond for character creation.

Additional details

How to prepare

Things that are required from players - a working mic - some character art to use for the sake of a token - free roll 20 and discord accounts - a drive to have some fun!

What I provide

Things i offer to the players! - access to the cypher system rules - roll 20 campaign for character sheets and maps - Role play between players and npcs between sessions - a discord server full of players with first access to other games i post As a gm i tend to lean into comedy and wholesome moments, i enjoy Rp and fully intend for this to be a slice of life game about adjusting to an entirely new world. Granted some occasional adventuring or combat is bound to occur

Gameplay details

A channel on the discord used for voice will be labeled "safety tools" where the monte cook checklist will be posted and kept. If you have something you would like added to that list simply DM me and i will add it no questions asked.
