Knows the Rules
Crawford's Play by Post game is hands down the best Play by Post I have ever been apart of. The level of content and frequency of posting is beyond compare. Crawford has a fantastic writing style and brings life to a litany of NPC characters giving voice and character to a myriad of different beings, the equivalence of amazing voice in text space. Crawford builds an intricate world of magical geographic descriptions, complex character motivations and highly technical combat encounters all in a text based environment. Crawford's style and commitment is unparalleled, her PBP is the top standard for excellence in my mind now. No other table has been anywhere near as active, committed and inspired as Crawford's PBP game I get to play in. Simply the best.
I am currently in Crawfordโs Out of the Abyss PbP campaign and itโs been great from the start! Those familiar to the campaign will know that there are a host of NPCs, including some that follow the party, and Crawford really manages to bring them all to life in a unique way. She writes beautiful prose when describing the conversations with the NPCs and also describing the many varied scenes in the Underdark. When narrating the PCs actions, i find she often does a much better job of it that the players whose characters they are! In terms of her as a GM, she is very fair minded but also allows for creativity. Whether your an optimiser or a RP focussed player, she finds a way to include you in the game and keep it all balanced and moving forward at a good pace. There are regular posts and updates from her during the day, and she also responds to any queries you may have quickly. She is very familiar with the rules, but as is the nature of 5E, there can still be conundrums especially involving combat and terrain and she takes the time to work out logically these questions. Overall, i would definitely recommend Crawford as a GM. Sheโs definitely one of the best, if not the best that Iโve had the opportunity to play with. You also definitely get a sense that the campaign is more a labour of love for her than a job. Which is probably why the campaign is always full. For those that get a chance to join - on the rare occasion someone drops out- my advice is to move quickly and secure that spot!
Crawford is a stellar GM. Our PBP game easily rivals, if not surpasses, any live game Iโve been in, and her narrative prose is akin to reading poetry in motion. I look forward to reading Crawfordโs multiple daily updates and am grateful for her effortful consistency. Our PBP campaign is highly immersive and stays with me long after reading/playing, perhaps the most out of all my games, and thatโs due to Crawfordโs wonderful ability at world building and setting the tone of the campaign. As a GM and as a person, Crawford is both kind, patient (and yet firm) with newer players such as myself and itโs very much appreciated. I have learned so much gaming with her this past year, and Iโm so grateful that no question is ever too much. Crawford also fosters a dynamic, inclusive, fun camaraderie between the players both in and out of character on her shared discord server. If you have the opportunity to book a seat at one of her often full tables, do not hesitate! 10/10 and 5 stars โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
