Improv & Roleplay in Star Trek

I was a new player joining an established group. John made me feel welcome, and quickly integrated my character into the ongoing plot.

John does great world building with lots of detail for the universe the game is set in, but completely plays off what the players bring to help shape what the narrative is. He's also mindful of keeping the sessions on time since many of us have lives we need to attend to, yet he manages to end sessions on a satisfying conclusion or cliffhanger -- all while giving different players a chance for their character to shine. He checks in with the players before and after for feedback as well. High marks all around.

John brings a lot of energy to his games and gives his players room to express themselves and go off the map. He's been telling stories fora. long time and it shows in the richness of his world building and the memorable NPCs you encounter along the way. Highly recommended.

John is an excellent storyteller and character machine. His years of experience as a writer and voice actor shine through. He knows the rules but has a light touch and will bend them for the betterment of the roleplaying experience. Expect to roleplay over strict rules for combat. His presentation has plenty of supporting material but doesn’t get bogged down with the quirks and drawbacks of the VTTs, so things move quickly.

There are several qualities that make John a superb game master. 1) He’s a gifted storyteller with many published stories in the world. 2) He’s a colossal nerd and connoisseur of all things speculative… SciFi (especially StarTrek), fantasy, and everything in between 3) His enthusiasm and commitment to a quality player experience Makes the energy around the table of delight to participate in. At the time of this writing, he’s still exploring his “Voice” as a game master, but that just means the collaboration around the table is that much more fun.
