The GM used a lot of fun voices, great music, and was all around a lot of fun. He was laid back and patient. Would 100% recommend this GM.

He did a really nice job with voice acting and being able to be creative with a bunch of strange birds. The detail to how he can get a voice he is looking for is incredible. Really enjoyed him making sure everyone got a turn or was actively doing stuff.

James is a fantastic DM who put a tremendous amount of effort into his prep work and game management. He commits to the voices, had great BG music, and really let up play with our creativity to solve events in unique ways. 100% would recommend.

An excellent GM! James is great at narrating story, describing the setting, and performing any voices. Allows for player freedom and is overall fun and enthusiastic about the game. Highly recommend.

I've only played for two sessions, but I've enjoyed both immensely. James is very patient when I ask a lot of questions about game play and lore. His willingness to explain things makes me feel included and greatly enhances the experience.
