He's fun, creative and has all the visual aids needed for you to thrive. He attracts amazing players to his table, honestly I can't imagine a better GM than Mike.

Fantastic GM! I've been playing with Mike for a couple of months now and this review is long overdue. So far he's the best GM I've played with and I've got no plans to look for a new one any time soon. He's immensely respectful to his players and is always willing to let you bend the rules to enhance the experience and narrative. Honestly, I could go on and on. If you're looking for a fun, laid-back, and experienced GM Mike is the one for you! 10 / 10 would/will annoy again! :D

If I could select all of the options for what’s great about Mike, I absolutely would. He hits all the boxes and is a very involved GM! He creates expansive and extensive backgrounds for his games and is very invested in character growth and backstory. Outside of gameplay, Mike is very inclusive and cultivates a safe and welcoming gameplay environment. He’s funny, genuine, and an overall wonderful person!! 10/10, would recommend his games.

I've played with various DMs and hands down Mike is just phenomenal. Mike is an incredible story teller. He has built an incredible world and characters for his players to interact with. He also spends a lot of time tailoring that world to the players and the stories they have to tell. Honestly, I could write a novel about how incredible Mike is as a DM and I cannot recommend him enough. As a femme presenting queer woman, I know joining a campaign with strangers can be an intimidating experience, but Mike creates a safe table and takes player well-being very seriously. If you're reading this while looking for a table then look no further. You have found the right DM.

The game has been amazing! I'm learning how to play Pathfinder 2e, I'm learning how to use Foundry, and I'm getting to have a great time with my swashbuckling character. Don't get it twisted- Mike is a fantastic GM, and I would have selected more tags for him if I could. He's great with beginners, is a fantastic world builder, sets the mood beautifully, cares deeply about every player and character- he has no weak spot! The only player who may not enjoy him is a by the book rules lawyer, and that's very unlikely since Mike is incredibly charismatic! If you're looking to play Pathfinder 2e but don't know how, or want a great D&D 5e GM, Mike is your guy!
