Jose ran a Purrfect Trap one-shot, the official one-shot of the Kingdom of Keshanar Kickstarter, which he also helped write. It was very well done. The pacing was good, the story excellent. The setting was appropriately thematic, and the BBEG was perfectly calibrated to our group, where with a couple of different rolls, we may very well have lost party members.

I always love playing in Yamil's groups! He is a great DM for all experience levels. He has over a decade of experience and is still a pro at welcoming new players (like me). Yamil's style is laid back and fun but he's also great at people management and keeping the party going. One of my favorite things about playing with Yamil is how good he is at communication - especially when it comes to player's comfort and safety. Yamil is an expert at navigating the sometimes tricky dynamics of any handful of adults regularly playing together. If you're looking for a fun game with great storytelling I highly recommend playing with Yamil!

Yamil is so much fun to play with! He thinks fast on his feet, allows the players to get as creative as they want, and creates richly descriptive worlds.

Yamil is an experienced GM, player and TTRPG creator! He focuses on creative approaches and mechanics that feel organic and pump up the fun at the table! He’s extremely familiar with online tools and also runs a great in-person table. He also maximizes everyone’s contributions and ensures each player gets their time to shine!

I’ve played with Yamil several times as both a Judge and player. He is an excellent Judge and I’ve always enjoyed his games. He understands the game system and is very creative. He allows players to be creative. Highly recommend him!!

I have had a gang of thieves gutted by feline hydras and once tag teamed an ancient evil tree with a fellow luchadore! Just two examples of the inventive fun I've had with Yamil. He is an excellent player-first GM, wanting to ensure everyone at his table is engaged without compromising any peril! He does this by implementing a slew of easy-to-understand house rules that mean everyone is in on the action, even when their characters aren't!
