Belle is adept at keeping the game moving, balancing combat or other game mechanical scenes against time spent roleplaying, and is adroit at folding new players into the group. I have enjoyed playing in her games, and they have quickly become a highlight in my week.

Belle is great! She is extremely knowledgeable about the rules and sets a fun tone for her table. I finished her Lv20 Arena one shot, which helped me understand the 2024 rules and lv20 combat. I will certainly be returning if she has an opening!

I’ve been playing with Belle for over 9 months now and cannot express my praise enough of how FANTASTIC of a DM she is! She always comes prepared, is quick to keep all the players engaged, and has a sixth sense of when to jump in with such immersive storytelling. In addition, she always keeps the story/combat moving while being mindful of the wellbeing of the players and helping with any inquiries. Belle has a “keen mind” of all that is going on, and has happened, while masterfully integrating player character backstories. She never shies away from hijinks, serious beats or creative solutions while being mindful of the rules AND will reward players for playing true to their class/alignment/values/flaws. Her characterizations of npcs are well played and so distinct that it is infectious for players to jump in and roleplay. I can happily say this is the longest I’ve been in a campaign, and I’m enjoying every minute of it thanks to the other players and especially Belle.

Nice friendly good with beginners and does good voices

I was itching to get into a new game, and Mad Mage was one that did appeal. Belle had some exceptional reviews and the timeslot worked perfect for me, so I signed up. I am so happy I did! Belle is an incredible GM. She conducts an excellent session, and also takes a lot of care to integrate your character in all aspects, from just meeting up with other party members to weaving in elements of your backstory. Belle also takes the time to use different voices and tones to distinguish between NPCs, which adds an additional level of enjoyment. She is very willing to assist in all aspects, from questions to character feedback to plain ol' assistance. Belle makes herself easily available to her players, and she very diligent about responding. Even when she dares to take a day or two off, you know she'll get back to you as soon as she puts her GM hat back on lol. You can tell she works hard on her craft to give a quality experience to her players. I joined a few sessions ago and this review is honestly overdue. She's amazing and I look forward to many more sessions with Belle, and am already keeping an eye out for a new game with her if the times and days align!

Played in a one shot with them, they made the game incredibly enjoyable. Clearly someone who puts a lot of work into their games and it is greatly appreciated.
