Super Hero Sunday- Marvel Modern Setting- Weekly Campaign

I have played two sessions so far with Adam. I came in not knowing the marvel system into a game that had started prior and found Adam was very good and getting me setup before the session, answering any questions I had, and quickly welcoming me into the group. As we play, he has been great at showing me the rules when I don't know them and embracing our love for comics while playing the game. I've enjoyed his style thoroughly, and he is a great DM.

If you’re a new player looking for a kind and friendly introduction to D&D, this DM could be a solid choice. He’s incredibly patient, approachable, and has a good sense of humor, which helps create a welcoming and stress-free environment for first-timers. He’s clearly passionate about the game and genuinely wants everyone to have fun at the table. That said, this DM may not be the best fit if you're hoping for a more polished or immersive experience. Sessions often feel a bit unprepared—things like placing tokens on the map, setting up encounters, or clarifying rules for him frequently cut into game time. While his casual nature is charming, it can lead to distractions, such as discussing off-topic subjects while trying to handle basic logistics during the session. The DM also tends to make up homebrew rules on the fly, such as granting advantage for having “high ground,” without much consistency or clarity. This can confuse players, especially those trying to learn the actual rules. He doesn’t seem fully confident in the system’s mechanics and has occasionally overlooked fundamental aspects like which ability governs a skill check or how to manage combat efficiently. Character backstories and development aren’t really incorporated into the story, so players hoping for a personalized, story-driven experience may be disappointed. Additionally, the sessions lack certain immersive elements, such as music, effective use of the Virtual Tabletop’s (VTT) features, or thoughtful preparation to make combat smoother—he doesn’t even keep track of basic stats like player AC, which slows things down. Unfortunately, when these issues were brought to his attention, he was unwilling to address them and ultimately decided to shut down and cancel the game instead. In short, this DM is a great choice for new players looking for a lighthearted introduction to D&D without the pressure of a more structured or rule-intensive experience. However, more experienced players or those hoping for a deeper, more immersive game may find themselves frustrated by the lack of preparation, consistency, and focus.

Poorly planned game. Have to sit there while tokens are placed and maps are laid out. Didn't know perception was a Wisdom check. Asked if there was any specific house rules, the answer was no. Then someone is at height and attacks at advantage, which is not RAW. When I took the time to engage the DM about these issued, and ask if there were going to be other rules, I got "That's why I only charge $15/session." May be worth $5/Session, if you can't find a free game. Second star because he was at least modestly decent at running a combat.

Had lots of fun. Work through rules issues together in a good way. Very into teaching new players.

Great GM! Had a fun first Deadlands game; looking forward to more.

Walked me through the deadlands system perfectly, and made getting the hang of character building an easy and stress-free experience. He ran a really fun encounter to teach me the ropes, and I had a blast.
