Intrigue in Harkwood

Paul is an incredible DM. He takes the time to explain everything, tells great stories, and encourages his players to do crazy things.

Paul is a phenomenal GM. He knows the rules inside and out and is always happy to answer questions that may come up along the way, help support new players, and provide gentle reminders of any useful game mechanics that may be helpful to players. He is particularly good at setting the scene so that the players can develop plans and make decisions without feeling either railroaded a certain direction or wanting for detail or clues. It's a very balanced approach that never fails to make whatever game he's running in whatever setting (fantasy, sci-fi, etc.) feel immersive and exciting. Paul is an especially strong storyteller with a gift for improvised dialogue and we've adopted more than one of his NPCs into the party simply because the players liked them so much.

Paul had a deep understanding of a huge variety of games, and is able to match playstyle, group energy, and setting to the perfect ruleset. He is patient when explaining the rules to new players, and a great teacher no matter what level of player you are. If you've ever looked at a game that you don't know and thought "that looks fun, but I'm not sure where to start" Paul is the perfect GM for you. He listens to what his players want and caters every session to the player characters. He focuses on keeping the game fun for everyone at the table, so no one feels left out or left behind. He understands the importance of story and creating something together, but he also keeps each adventure rooted in the game itself, allowing players to explore the nuisance of what makes each game special. Paul is an exceptional GM who loves gaming, and whose enthusiasm and kindness are contagious. 100000% recommended.
