George is an incredible DM. I have never played a more immersive DND campaign than those I've played with him. From having references available for every encounter to zero hesitation no matter how random or chaotic our path may be. Not only are the encounters fun & interesting but often interlaced with a deeper/more profound meaning. Besides that, he is also incredible at involving people - I was quite hesitant to insert my two cents when just guesting in a campaign but he made sure to include my character even if it was just giving her a chance to react or express her feelings about what was going on. Every session leaves us dying to continue, which is the best feeling. Besides that, even though subject matter gets quite dark (which I do love) there are lots of safety procedures in place to make sure we are all feeling good at all times.

GloriousGeorge is one of the best DMs that I have had the pleasure of playing with. Not only is he one of the best storytellers that I have ever met, he constantly impressed me and our group with weekly custom-created assets such as newspapers, wanted posters, maps, etc. If you have ever seen a master create something and been just stunned at the level of quality that they created, that is what George does for tabletop RPGs. The ebbs and flows of backstory and story building, complied with the perfectly tuned fights and outcomes make George a must-have for your next campaign or one-shot.

George is one of the best DM's I have played with. While he may not have the legacy knowledge from playing older systems, he diligence and love of lore allows him to create wonderful worlds that are familiar yet mysterious. As a player, you feel integrated and part of the world as opposed to feeling like a tourist. He is tough but fair and he isn't afraid to challenge the party. Your epic moments will feel epic and your sad moments will truly be sad.

George is a top-tier storyteller. He does a great job incorporating your character ideas into the world and truly making you feel connected with the universe you're playing in. He also creates compelling stories that will instantly hook you into the game & always wanting to come back for more. Every person I've played with at George's table has always wanted more to the point where we'll even have side sessions to build on certain character arcs. George also does a terrific job as an actor & improviser - he creates unique NPC and character voices and rarely breaks character, which helps you become even more immersed in his worlds. I 10000% recommend George as your next DM!

George is extremely welcoming to new players while also still making sure experienced players continue to flex their creative muscles. As a first time player, he walked me through step by step how to thrive in a game and how to genuinely have fun. He allows for out of the box thinking and strategy while making sure that your actions almost always have consequences, good or bad. This gives weight to your character’s decisions and makes everything feel meaningful and earned. While feeling brutal at times (nobody likes having their decisions turn on them in the worst of ways), the consequences of actions are always fair and make perfect sense for the story. It’s one of his biggest strengths as a GM and something that I learned to really enjoy as my first ever campaign of D&D played out. It felt good knowing my character wasn’t invincible and that we weren’t following a linear, preconceived path. Our decisions informed our oath and everything felt so organic and played led. Of course he has a path in his head, but he wants us to challenge that path. It’s become a running joke that he plans for 100 different options for us and we find the 101st one. Instead of trying to change our minds or strong arming us into one of his thought out options, he pivots on the spot and continues our story in an amazing way. I’m glossing over the parts where he is an amazing storyteller/entertainer, provides an amazing visual experience through custom art assets combined with what feels like every single official D&D art in the world to create a delight for the senses. His NPC voices are always spot on and provide memorable moments where you want those NPCs to linger to learn more about them (or just to hear their hilarious voices). His extensive knowledge of the rules, spells and general knowledge of D&D is actually insane and in the rare moments he can’t recall something off the top of his head he quickly finds it in a rule book or manual. He always encourages players to have fun and let loose while still making sure we are all feeling safe from any triggering topics or potentially upsetting material. He sets up every single game with this in mind and makes it easy to bring up any issues you may have. These are all things he has locked down. What makes him a truly special DM is the dedication and time he puts into his games. He wants and makes sure every player has their time in the sun and to feel important and for their storyline to matter and impact the overarching plot. He provides regular surprises that promise to delight players and characters alike and you can see the passion he has for the game and his players. Great all around person, DM and friend. 11/10 would play with again.

George is the best DM I've ever had. He is great with visual aids and overall aesthetic. He perfectly sets the mood with both good background music and soundscapes and artwork in combination with stellar RPing to really immerse you. On top of that, he runs both adventure content and homebrew (occasionally hybrid) to craft a story around each of your own characters in a unique and fun way. He'll almost always include some kind of payoff for why you're emotionally invested in the game, while also making sure that each choice has consequence (both good and bad). I cannot recommend enough.
