Some of the best from the games we've had is how the story somehow goes into a very funny situation and sometimes absurd, which is great.

He is very open to player ideas regarding character creation and gave other players and me the sense that he knew his material so we could easily ask him for clarifications on the rules if needed. He can explain more esoteric gameplay elements quite thoroughly while having it be interesting and have it make sense at the same time.

A great GM with deep knowledge of rules and lore. A world builder who helps players enjoy a rich game and have fun in the way.

They really turned game day into the highlight of the week for me. I'm playing in a Paranoia campaign Jay is running. It's my first of this game, so while I struggled to grasp some of the mechanics and the world, Jay was very patient and helpful all through the learning process. I really enjoy the character-driven nature of our campaign, yet this wouldn't be possible without the care Jay puts into making sure everyone gets their moment to shine. The way they craft each mission, obstacle and secret objective so that they compliment our characters yet nudge them out of their comfort zone without feeling too forced is so very impressive. And still they manage to improvise the most delightful, hilarious, sometimes dramatic and painfully disastrous (in the best way) moments you can dream of! Their passion for their games shows very clearly from the way they bring the NPCs to life with (sometimes silly and endearing, sometimes straight up terrifying, but always amazing) voice acting, the lively and pleasant atmosphere they create during sessions, and all the fun and creative details they bring to the table. They are very approachable and easy to communicate with, they really listen and helped me figure a solution that was fun for everyone when I ran into problems. They truly take the time to get to know both player and character, and to find the right tone and approach for the group. Playing with Jay, I'm always sure both me and my character(s) are in good hands, and that after all the jokes, light hearted drama, tension, secrets and excitement I can walk away having had fun. I can only recommend them, I feel like anyone would enjoy playing with an amazing GM like Jay.

I'm one of the players in a Paranoia: Perfect Edition campaign that Batata Studios is currently running for us. It’s been more than amazing! The energy at the table is lighthearted and humorous. Batata always makes sure everyone is comfortable and having fun. They’re very open and easy to communicate with, accomodating for each players’ needs and requests in a way that enriches everyone’s experience. Batata also puts a lot of care and attention into understanding the players’ characters, and giving them interesting quests and ways to progress their stories. I myself am fairly new to playing TTRPGs, so it’s invaluable to me how Batata is able to make the experience very newbie-friendly if needed. They’re always patient and happy to help clarifying some rules or elements of the setting, or even helping with the direction I want to take my character. Discussing it with them is always a pleasure. They’re not afraid to run with whatever gag or situation comes up mid-session, to the point where they turn it into something truly hilarious and memorable. Batata’s improvisation abilities honestly astonish me, as well as their voice acting (their voice for The Computer is a true masterpiece, and the single most bone-chilling thing I’ve ever heard). Batata is an amazing person that you’ll have no trouble getting along with, and a skilled GM that you’ll love playing with. I myself can’t wait for every next session, and after each one, can’t think about anything else for the rest of the day.
