I've played a lot of real-life games under Kel, and he's one of the best narrative GM's that I know. He tends to use systems that don't require a lot of number crunching, which makes combat less in-depth than systems like Pathfinder, but they move along a lot more smoothly. He is able to run games across wide range of tones. The most common genres I've played under him have been sci-fi and supernatural horror. His games are inclusive and treating other players with respect is a requirement for his table. I've been in games that included as players both new players and experienced GMs, and I've seen both have a great time. Kel is very good at thinking on the fly and smoothly dealing with all the stupid crap players throw at GMs. Perhaps most importantly, Kel wants everyone to have a good time. Sometimes, that means feeling like a badass bounty hunter working for the Huts. Sometimes that means being a nearly helpless reporter on a deadly cult island (who may or may not have been dragged off into a demon dimension). Either way, Kel tells a good story and players have fun. If you want a strong narrative experience and to have fun, Kel is a great choice.

I have had the pleasure of playing in games run by Kel for approximately seven years, and I can confidently say he is one of the most talented Game Masters I’ve ever encountered. Kel is a masterful storyteller who excels at setting immersive scenes and engaging every player at the table. He fosters an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere, ensuring everyone feels involved and valued in the game. Kel’s openness to creativity is remarkable—he has embraced even my most unorthodox ideas with enthusiasm and seamlessly wove them into the narrative without hesitation. His ability to balance structure with player-driven storytelling makes every session unique and memorable. Kel’s professionalism, dedication to creating a positive experience, and genuine passion for collaborative storytelling make him an outstanding choice for any paid GM opportunity. I cannot recommend Kel highly enough for anyone seeking a skilled, inclusive, and creative Game Master who prioritizes an exceptional player experience.
