I've played in countless hours of games GM/DM'd by both Sam and Tommy. Both are incredible. They build worlds that are fully fleshed out, and really allow you to build a picture in your head. They've introduced probably over 100 kids to D&D, while also DMing campaigns with super experienced players. Sam's worlds are amazing and he beautifully balances storytelling, puzzles, fighting, and character progression. Tommy is my favorite GM for a good scary story - seriously - I think it's been 10 years since the campaign that made me scared of empty highways and I still think about it when I'm driving at night. I've only ever played as PCs with Dee, but they were great to play with - so much fun and they made such great characters. The only fault I can think of: they all know the rules so well, I wasn't great at memorizing them myself. But I'm sure if you expressed that you wanted to memorize them, they'd absolutely accommodate that.
I've played in games GM'd by Sam, and it's been a wonderful experience! Our campaign started off with Sam supporting the new players in our character creation and helping us understand the rules. We also talked about the expectations and preferences of the group (were we looking for a fun and light game? Lots of drama and epic battles? what themes/subject matter were we comfortable or not comfortable with?). This was super helpful, and he tailored a game full of mysteries to solve and battles to win, all the while interweaving our backstories together. He's wonderful at world building, creating a rich tapestry of interesting places to go and NPCs to meet. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sam and his/their team for players of all experience levels!
I've mostly played games run by Sam, but the entire crew is great. They're very good at and willing to adjust play style, and keep a strong line of communication open whether it's about story direction/topic, game pacing, player needs or character needs. They obviously put a lot of thought and time into the games they run, and it shows! They're also all super beginner-friendly- Tommy and Sam were actually the folks who taught me how to play, and I know Dee has had a lot of experience with that as well.
