This was my first time playing with Alex and my first time playing Mothership. He had a lovely manner and created a game full of atmosphere, not only with his GMing, including descriptions of what's going on and gentle hints to help us when we seemed stuck, but also a masterful use of the VTT and audio clips. I'll be telling other GMs how he did things. I'm looking forward to future games with him.

Alex was great! I really like his teaching by playing method. We learned the system as we went and it made for a really great session, where we got to play a full session while learning the system. He was very creative and I liked that he would roll with our ideas and was willing to change and adapt to our choices seamlessly.

I had an absolute blast playing Star Trek with Alex! He made it feel like a genuine episode all while walking us through how to play. It was a really good authentic time. Alex was great at running with just about everything we wanted to do as a crew.

Alex is a fantastic teacher for learn to play who is patient without slowing down game play. He also ensures each player has their moment to shine at the table.

Alex does a fantastic job drawing out each player's creative problem solving ability, and really plays on the strengths and motivations of your character. This allows everyone at the table to uniquely contribute in a meaningful way to the collaborative storytelling.

I had an absolute blast playing Star Trek Adventures 2e with Alex as my GM. He kept things moving, and kept everyone involved as well. His knowledge of the rules and the setting made the one-shot session I was in very enjoyable. I encourage anybody wanting to get a taste of the game in the hands of a skilled GM to sign up for one of Alex's sessions; you won't be sorry.
