one of the best dms ive ever played with, he really allows the players to be their characters and is able to make it a fun time for everyone involved, even when theres a lot of players. he also has some of the most fun and thoughtful worldbuilding ive played with in a long time

TLDR: Phenomenal, 10/10, 5stars. Exceeded my highest neigh unreasonable expectations. My first experience using a professional DM and will be my preferred choice moving forward. Aelf did a wonderful job incorporating the characters into the story and expanding on the material in a seamless fashion. An improve wizard and read the party well, providing meaningful challenges that suited each players play style. It felt like we were neither railroaded nor allowed to just wander around aimlessly. All the materials necessary to play were provided, but we were able to make our own characters. All of this became incredibly apparent during our last session break down after completing the last session. We did a 3 session pre-made adventure, but honestly I think I could play it again with the same character and party and based on our choices it would feel like a completely different adventure. The amount that Aelf built into and ontop of the pre-set material was incredible and I am still in awe of how well he blended his own creations and players ad-hoc decisions with those materials. (I mean the guy took a "ghoul" and gave it a whole backstory for how it was created within the context of the world and into the backstores of the major characters/antagonists).

Aelf is good at allowing players to follow options that make the games more interesting and fun. His story telling and impromptu story paths lead the players to lore rich story and enhances the overall exploration of their world. The games he runs are also very LGBT friendly and safe.

Gm was very helpful with newer player and did an awesome job of keeping the story going and rolling with the wacky RPing we did in the story.

Ælf is great as a dm, I would recommend him after this great one shot I tried with him.

Elf is a kind, patient GM and a very creative person. He does his best to create player agency in his stories and actively resists forming narrative around much else. He also takes the time to individually work with players to make sure the story takes into account their desires.
