I've been in several games GMed by Mattias, and each was a ton of fun. He really respects different gameplay preferences while bringing a group together for a single, cohesive story. I enjoy playing somewhat ridiculous characters, and he never makes me feel like that's a silly decision. I've learned a lot as a player in his games about participating in RPGs, and it was nice feeling like I wasn't a drag on the group experience in the process.

I never pictured myself getting into DnD, but Mattias was my introduction, and I totally fell in love with it. He's welcoming and patient with beginners, and his focus is on fun and creativity rather than making players follow every strict regimented rules. He knows a variety of game styles that are similar to Dnd but more flexible. He encourages character building, silliness and teaches his players to take a collaborative role in building and advancing the story. And he's a total sweetheart, so kind and sweet!

Mattias makes wholes cities and spaces puzzles to explore, filled with lore and interconnecting pieces that make exploring the mysteries fun and enjoyable

While Mattias is a fantastic world-builder, he doesn't forget the player characters and will both allow you space to play within his world, and adapt his world to fit attributes of your character. He has a strong belief in feedback, and regularly checks in to make sure you get the experience you signed up for. The games I've played with him have been less focused on "rule of cool" and more about "rule of fun". If you're a fan of lore, there is always something to investigate in his games (either because he pre-planned it, or he identifies your interest and builds background lore/systems for you to discover). He will do character voices, and they will sometimes comically shift into the wrong accent, but that's a charm we should all welcome. Thankfully his focus is on roleplay, so dice rolls only happen when necessary or they'll add flavor; rather than rolling dice constantly to fill time.

Mattias spent the time to customize our environment to our individual characters, and our wants as players. He made sure engage the technical players with more rules heavy scenarios and gave the more casual players lots of fun improv opportunities. He also took the time to make entertaining distinct voices and vibes for the NPCs, made visuals for important players and items, and established some fantastic world building. I would say his number one focus is on all of the players having fun! If it’s not fun, he will find a way to smoothly pivot out of scene. 10/10 would recommend!

Mattias was my first ever GM, and I've played in 5 of his long-term campaigns since. In the first game, he really devoted the effort to helping me understand the rules, but he also runs his games in a way that I don't feel like the rules restrict gameplay. He also put a lot of effort into building my character backstory into the game, which made me feel very invested in the game/quest. However, what I really like about his games is that he builds such fleshed out worlds. The last 4 games of his I've played in all were in different parts of a larger world, and seeing how the actions from a previous game impacted our new game really showed the amount of effort that went into worldbuilding, and it made the story feel so real and living.
