Honestly the best game master I've met. Knows the rules by heart. Is open to feedback from his players. Exceptional storyteller and world builder.

Most fun I've ever had at session zero! Andrew is witty and creative. After a few sessions he adapts well to feedback and deals well with a bunch of old curmudgeons. He actually appreciates the story being developed.

Andrew took us through the rules of Blades in the Dark in a fun one shot - doing a great job of showing us the mechanics and how they would work in a campaign while keeping things simple. Was a really fun session and definitely gave me the bug for more.

I was really curious about Blades in the Dark and Andrew gave a great one shot / tutorial for beginners. We was brilliant at explaining the mechanics clearly in a relaxed atmosphere. I'd really love to play more Blades in the future after this experience.
