World Builder
Darius is a superb Gm. He is always well prepared yet great on the fly. He tells a fantastic story while letting the players to contribute to it and to the world at large. He is good with voices and makes fun and interesting NPCs. I cannot recommend him enough and would play with him anytime.
Participated in a 2+ year campaign. Even though it was an adventure path they included several items from character backstories and allowed for creative decision making to resolve issues. Was very accommodating for flavor adjustments, i.e. castle doesn't have to be a big building. Definitely made me feel comfortable with the group even though I was a stranger and it was in person.
