Allies can become enemies, and rivals may become friends. 🔹 Engagement Beyond Sessions – What does your character do between adventures? Spoon keeps the world moving between sessions, involving players in downtime activities and personal arcs. 🔹 Memorable Adversaries & Epic Conflicts – From ruthless villains to tragic foes, battles aren’t just about winning—they’re about what’s at stake.

Really enjoying the Vampire the Masquerade campaign that Spoons is running. He's a really nice guy and makes an effort to ensure all the players are included and have a great time. The presentation and VTT is very slick and add to the atmosphere to bring the story to life. Looking forwards to many more games

Spoon is a fantastic Storyteller! As someone coming from a traditional DnD background, I found VtM's RP-heavy, collaborative style a bit daunting at first, but Spoon makes the experience incredibly immersive. He masterfully weaves political intrigue and mystery into a world that feels full of endless possibilities. His deep knowledge of World of Darkness lore enriches the game, blending seamlessly into a VtM V5-focused experience. He’s great for beginners, highly engaging between sessions, and inclusive of all types of players. While it doesn’t stick strictly to mechanics, I appreciate that he awards 4-7 XP per session—especially in a pay-to-play format—it helps with meaningful character progression. If you're looking for a compelling and well-run VtM game, definitely check out his other campaigns!

Spoon is great at what he does and while, as of writing this, I've only had two sessions with him, he is one of my favorite GMs/STs I've ever had the pleasure of playing with! I couldn't recommend him enough!

As I am writing this, I am currently playing the For the Empire campaign created by Spoon. He is clearly a hard worker when it comes to being a GM and puts a lot of thought and time into his craft. The fact that he is running a custom campaign instead of just running an already completed module speaks volumes of his creativity. He isn't one of those GMs who will break you down with rules but instead seeks to invest you and will work with you whenever you have an idea you wish to implement.
