ACKSII: Defend the Borderlands

Fosters a very good table. No bickering among players, allows creativity while maintaining control and allows players to actually play. Probably the most fun I have had playing in years. He can control the table while letting players do their thing. That is not an easy task at all with so many different personalities.

My friend, Ross, has run several games for myself and both new and old friends, including The One Ring and Twilight 2000, 4th Edition. Especially when it comes to Tolkien-based games, he’s proven to be extremely knowledgeable and capable of providing an atmosphere that felt natural to the game, system, and world. If you have time to play and, if you can find him, you can hire Ross for your games.

Very reliable, knowledgeable, and fun

Does an excellent job at setting the scene for players. Our party is almost all new players on their first experience with D&D. He is very understanding of the lack knowledge of the system and how to play.

When covid happened, several of a group of people who followed some mini painting streamers were lamenting the death of our in person games. Lando offered his services as a GM and had some environments built. I'll be honest, at the time I had no idea of what we were stumbling into, his simple comment has now been running for going on two years every other Friday, we've had some people drop out but he's always been able to find some others to join us, he is always prepared, has a plethora of things to draw from. Usually in my in person games after a while they get boring because there is only so much to draw from, but Lando has been playing this game since it was printed in black and white and has saved it all. He has a huge library of things to draw from, and has really made this something I look forward to every time its scheduled and only miss if something bad has happened. He really is the great at the virtual tabletop as well, the current game I'm playing with him is in Roll20 and he has tons of maps readied and has flipped them on very quickly so there are never really any lulls where we're waiting on technology unlike some other games I tried. Just can't rave about him enough. He was there when things got scary early in covid and his running of this game gave me a social circle still (besides work-from-home stuff) and to be honest when things were starting to get possibly that we could do in person, I didn't want to stop like I thought when this all started. It started out as a 'cool something to do to stay sane' and now is a staple in my calendar that I will say no to any other event to attend. I really hope you give him a try, he's not just a 5E DM either he runs a number of games in other systems as well, and has a collection of stuff to draw for them as well.
