Teacher
This was my first time playing as a PC, and Betty made it a brilliant experience. Very welcoming to beginners, explaining everything clearly and with just the right amount of detail. As someone who’s quite fluent in english but not a native speaker, I really appreciated how inclusive and easy to follow she made everything. Betty encourages creativity, sets enjoyable challenges, and is fair even when the Savage Worlds dice rolls go against us. Great fun !
Betty is a great GM for creating excitement and action that has a story behind it, and finding ways to let each character shine in their moment. She pays attention to what the players want and how things are going, and keeps the game pointed in directions that lead somewhere entertaining. She uses every tool available to add details to the story - from handouts and visual aids, to the backstory details that make a complete mental picture.
Been a part of Betty's Savage Worlds: Deadlands game for a whiles now and she's been a lovely GM! She has good understanding of the ruleset and ability to communicate it effectively, as well as a good sense of knowing when to run with player improvisation and how to do so effectively.

What Betty brings to the table
I'll be providing the VTT, this will be action heavy, story/roleplay light since it's meant to teach the rules, but that doesn't mean we can't all ham it up a bit with the roleplay.
